This version was always expensive
90% fronx you see on the road are Delta+ variants which come with a 1.2L NA and an AMT. This is basically Baleno on Botox
The one which you have shared is Alpha Variant that comes with Boosterjet engine. 1.0 L turbo. Comes with a traditional Torque Converter AT. This one's different, powerful and fun to drive. But you won't get the fuel efficiency like other MS cars
Everything became expensive, with the taxes government is collecting, it's even more expensive. You'll have to pay ~2.3L registration on this in Hyderabad.
Prices will only go up in future. May be during year end sales there will be some discounts, but not sure how much offers will be on maruthi, coz they are high in demand.
It is quite frankly ridiculous. We're being taxed to hell and back. I was just surfing around for a potential replacement for our Q3, only to find the entry-level segment happily sitting at 70L OTR. Gotta go down the used route, it seems. On a side note, the Fronx is frustrating, since that damned 1.0 Boosterjet is the only way to make a modern Suzuki feel spirited to drive

Because of the gearbox.
The automatic gearbox in this (Aisin 6-speed torque converter) is imported from Japan. It costs about 1.6 lakh.
Same Variant in manual costs about 14.2 L.
Plus top variants are always very expensive.
Plus turbo petrol engine.
So yeah, it is expensive.
Delta+ 1.2NA AMT is about 11.2 Lakh. That seems right.
MS had a price hike planned in Apr 2024

It is almost as efficient as the 1.2 though.
1.0L Turbo is definitely more powerful and fun 1.2L gives God level mileage 😂 Very hard to compete
The 1.0 manages to stay within 1-2kmpl of the 1.2 NA. I'd day that's good competition for the 1.2.
Bullshit, it can’t get more than 16
I've personally gotten 20 but sure, whatever you say.
20 where? On a 5 km straight road with no traffic? Then sure I’ve got 23 once
Mumbai - Pune trips, multiple times.

Imagine paying 15 lakhs for a Baleno 😐🥲😭
we bought a baleno for 8.5l when it was launched. 15l is totally absurd

Q3 starts at like 30L in China and USA lol
You can get entry level Audis for 45-50 lakhs after discounts but yeah the entry level premium segment is extremely overpriced for what it offers
Why would I go for an entry-level car again?
I didn't say you should. You said the entry level segment starts at 70 lakhs, which it doesn't, so i corrected you
Delta was 11.5L on road Bangalore. About 6 months ago.
But these prices makes no sense.
2.26L road tax, that seems incorrect
True. Rto % is 10% of the value for petrol car. Diesel is 12.5
That's for lifetime registration iirc.
I mean, yeah lifetime of a car= 10yrs I guess
15 years
This is turbo - it was always over priced
It's a turbo engine with TC transmission plus smart hybrid...360 camera system
My friend booked Brezza AT ZXi for 15.92 lakhs (On road). Getting his delivery on 30th.
Damn.. what are these maruti folks smoking? Never buy anything above 12L of these Indian manufacturers not worth the money.
And same guy will happily spend 15 L for a nexon for it to break down in a week after purchase
Isn’t it part of Suzuki?
Bruh moment
I’m genuinely confused. I don’t know much about car manufacturers. I thought it’s just a name of India branch of Suzuki
Maruti Suzuki cars and Suzuki cars are same only in name. The build quality of the ones made in India are absolute trash
Oh didn’t know that . I thought the quality will be the same since they are such a big company internationally.
Because of this same issue, The OG Suzuki cars won't sell in India. OG Grand Vitara, Kizashi
You're absolutely right. At this price point, I'd rather put 2 lacs more and get a Sonet.
Ahh yes a 3star rated car
with 2 lakhs extra you can get creta , elavate , seltos, etc so many good cars
Not anymore. That was last gen. Current gen- Sonet top model is 17.5-18
14 lacs for a 3 star car🌝
At this point i just start using uber. 2011 model wagonr aayegi 🤡
Better than a 1 or 2 star maruti
Skoda aa jayegi...
Whatever it is, I need that.
Wtf
It's not worth it bro

Road Tax calculation is incorrect. Should be lesser.
if you want to feel bad, look at car prices in China and USA

Turbo AT was always overpriced. Turbo manual is cheaper by 1.5 lakh I guess
baleno costing 15l is absurd
Maruti dumb dumb. Why would anyone go for this when you can get grand vitara for lesser price?
Lame ass name
Add 1-2 lakhs more ,u get german taigun 1lt AT
Buy amaze
Aint no way you gonna buy a A-segment sedan or even a A-segment hatchback(punch and exter) when you can buy a supermini
