Part of the reason why it is so is because of the 6 airbags that this top version of the Baleno comes with. In the visuals, the front and the side airbags are seen deployed saving grievous injuries to the occupants. We can only advise our readers to follow traffic rules at all times. Carrying more than 5 people in a Baleno is against the rules and it could impact the performance of the car. Also, overspeeding is the main reason for most accidents in our country. Hence, we must drive within the speed limit. Do share your thoughts about this case.
