Prices by powertrain
on-road, BengaluruKnow before you choose
- Confirm the current Z-Series three-cylinder model and manufacturer code: old four-cylinder cars and older codes remain in the price service.
- CNG is offered only in Delta and Zeta, with manual or AGS. Alpha and Alpha (O) are petrol-only.
- The current brochure gives 318 L for petrol but no CNG boot capacity. Try your normal luggage in the actual CNG car.

Delivery checklistKnow what to check before taking the keys.
Baleno delivery checklist
A quick pre-delivery inspection (PDI) before you accept your car.
- Match the VIN, Baleno variant, powertrain and paint on the vehicle against your order and invoice before accepting delivery.
- Inspect the clean car in daylight: paint, panels, glass, tyres, lights, seats and every promised accessory. Photograph concerns and get a written resolution.
- Ask the dealer to demonstrate a normal start, dashboard warning-light self-check, air conditioning, keys and the controls fitted to your variant.
Full guide: ₹499 once, lifetime access. Sales open soon. This checklist is buyer guidance, not a professional inspection.
