Safety is of key importance in long distance travel, and both models are quite competent on that front.

I am looking to purchase my first car, which will primarily be used for long-distance travel – from Bengaluru to my hometown in Andhra Pradesh. I am confused between the Maruti Suzuki Baleno and Tata Altroz.
Teja, Bengaluru
Autocar India says: We would pick the Baleno, which received an upgrade earlier this year. Compared to the Altroz, the Baleno has a stronger petrol engine, is a bit more spacious and has more features. Both cars meet the latest Indian safety standards, which are similar to Europe. The Altroz has scored well in the GNCAP with a 5-star rating, while the Baleno hasn't been tested yet. The new Baleno – for the first time – comes with the option of six airbags, while the Altroz gets dual airbags.

I have a different view basis the feedback received from my friend who owns altroz and had done 2 long distance trips ( Mumbai to kanpur & Mumbai to Goa). His feedback is very positive on stability, performance & comfort (very comfortable for 5 people due to flat bottom on the rear).

I have a quite different view on this. I have been driving Altroz from last 8 Month and I drove around 90 percent on highways. Fuel economy is good . on highways and quite stable also. Once you are driving the feel of safety automatically develops. You have sufficient space for luggage and the best companion for long drive is Music. 10 out of 10
