Maruti Baleno 2015 - Alpha Petrol :: White Horse - Ownership Review

[koushikbalu]

Here are the pics of the accessories i fitted.. The floor mats offered by Nexa seems to be very low quality which will get torn of easily. seat covers offers good support and comfort. UV cut glasses do their work in a perfect way cabin is always cool when parked in sunny areas.











I have seen one of our TAIger asked about auto door unlock feature in the forum. Actually it does have a Auto Unlock feature when the ignition is switched off. Please go through the MID settings and look for Auto Door Unlock. He mentioned that, it will be good if they would have given Auto Door unlock option when the engine is turned off.

I am also planning to get the seat covers from Nexa since they look extremely good and sporty.

@koushikbalu : How much does it cost for you? Are these available with all Nexa outlets?

Hi baker,

Seat quality is good. But the material looks glossy like it's giving a shining effect. they do have given me a year warranty incase of early thread wear and tear. Yes it does have a childlock. It is a basic feature in all cars.

Hi Kishore,

Yes it is available in all Nexa outlets, but my RM said they have only 2 variety of PU materials with them. Price is 8000₹, all these PU seat covers were fitted in the test drive cars, so it was easy for me to select the design. I was really impressed with this design and quality in the first instance. it does give you a premium and sporty look. you can go for it. It's better to fix in company showrooms rather getting outside since we can claim for any warranty. Outside market we may don't know the exact quality and will be priced a bit higher. this is from my perspective and past experience.

Thanks for the information. You car looks great indeed! When i did TD, there were no seat covers installed. I feel 8000 INR is a good amount for this finish and quality. In the NEXA website under accessories , they have provided multiple seat cover options but not this one.

Thank you Kishore. even when I did TD there were no seat covers installed, while paying for accessories only they informed that they have fitted it in TD vehicles where I can have a look at. Now my car is due for 1st service and I have booked the appointment. Even I do saw many designs in website but all appears to be Original leather except 2 designs.

Guys, Does the inbuilt navigation system in Alpha gives directions in Voice through speakers like in Google maps? Has anyone noticed any such feature? It would be very useful for novice drivers like me while driving.

As per RM, my Q number is 51.I checked with him about the accessories and changes in the latest batch of cars. He said he is yet to get some clarity on the same and would update on Monday. Will post once I get some information.
