Finally, the car was delivered to me on 03/05/22, Alpha, Nexa Blue(celestial). Nexa experience has been quite good except availability of accessories.They have said that shortage of accessories are in Gurgaon (Gurugram). But it seems that the staff is not familiar with the types of accessories.

Does anyone know what is included in the Nexa Basic Accessory Kit for Baleno?
Has this been included in the On Road Price for anyone?

Are there anyone in this thread who got alpha ags in Mumbai? I had booked in February mid and the dealer- NEXA KTS Bhandup is clueless and says any date could be given only June first week…. Even the test drive ags alpha car I drove was having dead display and wasn’t registered… could anyone
please update their ags booking and delivery timelines?

Thanks! It is manual and I am very happy with it. Mileage is unbelievable considering earlier experience with my Hyundai, i10 Sportz Kappa2. Nexa experience was excellent. If interested, go for this car, you will never regret your decision.

Relationship Manager here at Guwahati showroom had informed me that each accessory had to be purchased as there was no policy to offer any basic accessory like floor mats, mudflaps,...,etc. for free. I had to pay for all the accessories that had been fitted in my car in excess of the on road price. Hope I have cleared your query.

Same situation here in Kolkata. February booking. Dealer is clueless and non responsive as well.

The CVT was definitely a plus point for the Baleno and I think it is a bad decision to move to an AMT. Buyers in this segment would definitely have a preference in the type of transmission.

I would disagree, havnt driven the new baleno AMT yet but drove 2k+ kms in the older baleno cvt. Absolutely hated it. My drive was city+highway+hills. No predictability of power, massive rubberband effect, poor fuel efficiency. I just cannot recommend a maruti tuned cvt to anyone. I dont know why people love it so much?

On the contrary, i regularly drive the ignis amt and amaze cvt. I prefer the ignis amt anyday. Similar but lesser rubber band effect in amaze and below 11kmpl average. Ignis amt is 15+ kmpl, both city driving. None can be raced, there are not built for that. But ignis is much more peppy with better ride quality.

Considering maintenance, fuel average and performance, i would prefer an amt over anything as a daily drive.

If it's gonna be your only car in the garage, go for it, if it's secondary, don't.

I myself am getting Zeta, but it's gonna be our city run-about car.
Alpha is a bit gimmicky for me, so did not pick the same.

If it was my only car, I would have, irrespective of the years I keep it with me.

Had similar thoughts and discussions, Went ahead and booked Zeta AMT. The quoted waiting period is of 12 to 16 weeks, but the RM says that we may get the car by July End.

Kudos on your new car! What mileage have you been getting?
And what should I expect in the initial period?

Excellent read, Anshuman, kindly enlighten what you mean by 'anti stall' system. Is it something like what we have in the Korean iMT's?

We booked it at Nexa Automotive Manufacturers Nerul, Navi Mumbai. What is your quoted waiting period, and where did you book it?
