AI · Verdict

Maruti Suzuki Baleno [2022-2026]vsTata Tiago

The Baleno justifies its higher price with a more powerful, higher-revving 1.2L engine, a 4-star Bharat NCAP rating, automatic climate control, keyless central locking, and a noticeably larger 318L boot. The Tiago undercuts it by nearly Rs 1.29 lakh and counters with practical touches like a puncture repair kit and a fully digital instrument cluster, making it the sharper budget pick. Overall, the Baleno wins on refinement and safety validation, while the Tiago wins on value.
