The Baleno was introduced in 2015 and is in its second generation. The Altroz was introduced in 2020 and is still in its first generation. Baleno is available in petrol and CNG variants. Altroz is available in petrol, turbo diesel and CNG options. The Maruti Baleno CNG offers the best mileage at an average of 24.5 Km\/Kg followed by Altroz CNG with an average mileage of 22-23 Km\/Kg.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maruti Baleno uses the 1.2 L K-series Dual Jet Dual VVT for both petrol and petrol+CNG variants. It uses a 5-speed manual transmission for the CNG, and its petrol engine comes in manual and AMT options. The Tata Altroz has a 1.2L Revotron naturally aspirated petrol, 1.5L turbo diesel, and 1.2L iCNG engine. It has Manual, AMT &amp; DCA transmissions. So, in this article, we will compare the real-world mileage of Maruti Baleno and Tata Altroz and their specifications, fuel efficiency, fuel cost, etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rank-math-toc-block\" id=\"rank-math-toc\"><h2>Table of Contents<\/h2><nav><ul><li><a href=\"#maruti-baleno-vs-tata-altroz-specs\">Maruti Baleno vs Tata Altroz Specs<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#maruti-baleno-vs-tata-altroz-arai-mileage-figures\">Maruti Baleno vs Tata Altroz: ARAI Mileage Figures<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#maruti-baleno-vs-tata-altroz-real-world-fuel-efficiency\">Maruti Baleno vs Tata Altroz: Real World Fuel-Efficiency\u00a0<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#maruti-baleno-vs-tata-altroz-fuel-cost-comparison\">Maruti Baleno vs Tata Altroz: Fuel Cost Comparison<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#maruti-baleno-vs-tata-altroz-price\">Maruti Baleno vs Tata Altroz Price\u00a0<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#summary\">Summary\u00a0<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#fa-qs\">FAQs\u00a0About Maruti Baleno vs Tata Altroz Mileage<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"maruti-baleno-vs-tata-altroz-specs\"><strong>Maruti Baleno vs Tata Altroz Specs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The detailed comparison between the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/cars\/maruti-suzuki\/baleno\/\">Maruti Baleno<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/cars\/tata\/altroz\/\">Tata Altroz<\/a> in terms of their key specifications is given in the table below.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Specification<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Maruti Baleno<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Tata Altroz<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Engine<\/td><td>1.2 L K-series Dual Jet Dual VVT petrol1.2 L Dual Jet Dual VVT CNG<\/td><td>1.2L Revotron Petrol (NA)\u2022 1.5L Revotorq Diesel\u2022 1.2L iCNG<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Displacement<\/td><td>1197 cc<\/td><td>Petrol: 1199 ccDiesel: 1497 ccCNG: 1199 cc<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Power<\/td><td>Petrol: 89.7 PSCNG: 77.5 PS<\/td><td>Petrol: 88 PS&nbsp;Diesel: 90 PSCNG: 73.5 PS<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Torque<\/td><td>Petrol: 113 NmCNG: 98.5 Nm<\/td><td>Petrol: 113 NmDiesel: 200 NmCNG: 103 Nm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Transmission<\/td><td>5-Speed MT5-Speed AMT<\/td><td>5 Speed MT5 Speed AMT6 Speed DCA&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Drive layout<\/td><td>Front Wheel Drive<\/td><td>Front Wheel Drive<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Kerb weight<\/td><td>MT: 925-955 KgAMT: 940-960 KgCNG: 1020-1035 Kg<\/td><td>1036-1157 kg.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Fuel tank capacity<\/td><td>Petrol: 37 litresCNG: 55 litres<\/td><td>Petrol: 37 litresCNG: 60 litres<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Maruti Baleno and Tata Altroz have similar attributes with some minor differences.

In the real world, the mileage could either be a close match or likely lower than these official figures. As per this data, the Baleno CNG delivers the best mileage, followed by Altroz CNG. The next best fuel-efficient hatchback is the Altroz diesel, and then comes the Baleno petrol manual transmission. The Altroz automatics have the least mileage among these.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"maruti-baleno-vs-tata-altroz-real-world-fuel-efficiency\"><strong>Maruti Baleno vs Tata Altroz: Real World Fuel-Efficiency <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The real-world mileage figures determine whether these hatchbacks have better fuel efficiency or not.

However, they follow the same hierarchy as the ARAI figures, with the CNG options winning for both Baleno and Altroz. The Altroz diesel has the best mileage among the non-CNG category, followed by Baleno petrol. Regardless of the powertrain, all these variants perform better on highways than in the city.

It is the winner in terms of fuel efficiency, fuel cost, and initial buying cost. The Maruti Baleno CNG can get you the best mileage on city roads with a smoother ride. But if you are driving more on highways, then the Tata Altroz CNG would be more suitable for its stability, safety, and build quality. The Tata Altroz fares well among the traditional diesel or petrol variants, as it has better mileage and lower fuel cost than other petrol variants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related Blogs:<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/blog\/maruti-brezza-vs-kia-sonet-real-world-mileage-comparison\/\">Maruti Brezza vs Kia Sonet Real World Mileage Comparison<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/blog\/tata-punch-vs-hyundai-exter-real-world-mileage-comparison\/\">Tata Punch vs Hyundai Exter: Real World Mileage Comparison<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/blog\/maruti-ertiga-vs-kia-carens-clavis-real-world-mileage-comparison\/\">Maruti Ertiga vs Kia Carens Clavis: Real World Mileage Comparison<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fa-qs\"><strong>FAQs\u00a0<\/strong>About Maruti Baleno vs Tata Altroz Mileage<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"saswp-faq-block-section\"><ol style=\"list-style-type:none\"><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3 class=\"\"><strong>Q. Does having a full occupancy in the car reduce the fuel efficiency in Maruti Baleno CNG?<\/strong><\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">Yes, full occupancy can reduce mileage. Full capacity and heavy load increase the weight, which can strain the engine. This makes it difficult to drive through the city and on slopes. However, the Baleno CNG can mitigate much of these difficulties and can return better mileage even with a heavy load.\u00a0<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3 class=\"\"><strong>Q. Which is more fuel-efficient for daily use, the Maruti Baleno AMT or Tata Altroz AMT?<\/strong><\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">As the Maruti Baleno is lighter than the Altroz, it is the Baleno AMT that has better fuel efficiency for daily use. Its engine is lighter and can reduce fuel consumption in the bumper-to-bumper traffic of urban roads. Even though Altroz AMT can deliver competent mileage, Baleno has better efficiency.\u00a0<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3 class=\"\"><strong>Q. Why does the mileage reduce in the real world compared to what the ARAI claims?<\/strong><\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">The ARAI measures the fuel efficiency under a controlled environment, which is not the same as the actual environment. In the outer environment, fuel efficiency is affected by several factors like traffic, load weight, road conditions, driving styles, etc. This will cause a reduction in the mileage compared to what ARAI claims.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3 class=\"\"><strong>Q. Which hatchback should I choose for consistent mileage on both city roads and highways, Baleno or Altroz?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">Maruti Baleno shows consistent mileage when driving on city roads and highways. As it has a lightweight construction, it is easier to manoeuvre in the city and is more tuned for good fuel economy. Altroz has good fuel efficiency on highways, but it is often lower in the city.\u00a0<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3 class=\"\"><strong>Q. Which hatchback has a better manual transmission with good mileage, Baleno or Altroz?<\/strong><\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">The manual transmission in Baleno can respond well to provide smoother gear shifts. It is more suited for mixed driving than the Tata Altroz. Though Altroz has good gear shifting and driving experience, its fuel efficiency is lower than Baleno.<\/p><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maruti Baleno and Tata Altroz are the premium hatchbacks which are quite popular in India.
