What the Alpha (O) Petrol AT costs on the road
The price above is ex-showroom. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the Alpha (O) Petrol AT comes to ₹10,43,310 on the road in Itanagar and ₹11,69,585 in Bengaluru.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹1,26,275 of what you pay for the identical car. Of the 25 states we can price this variant in, Arunachal Pradesh comes out lowest and Karnataka highest. You pay it where you live, so take this as a reason to check the quote you were given, not as a way to save money.
Comprehensive own-damage cover is on top of both figures: it has been market-priced since 2007 and moves with the insurer, the cover value and your no-claim bonus, so no honest single number exists for it. Budget for it from real quotes.

The full story
At ₹9.99L ex-showroom this is the dearest of the Baleno's 13 variants, ₹39,000 over the Alpha Petrol AT beneath it. The same Alpha (O) features start at ₹49,000 less as the Alpha (O) Petrol MT; the extra here buys the Petrol with the 5-speed automated manual (amt). There is no trim above Alpha (O): money spent past this point buys powertrain, not equipment.

- Is there anything above the Alpha (O) on the Maruti Suzuki Baleno?
- No. Alpha (O) is the top of the Baleno range, so money spent past this point buys a different engine or gearbox rather than more equipment.
- Is the Alpha (O) the right Baleno to buy?
