Everyday exceptional

The new Baleno is the ultimate everyday car. When it comes to looks, comfort, safety, efficiency and performance, it's absolutely outstanding.

The Baleno is a cool and sophisticated hatchback with the space and smart features to make your daily drive an exceptional experience. More spacious inside than Swift, the Baleno has a considerably larger luggage area, meaning more space for you and your things. The interior has smooth flowing lines and controls well-placed with information and entertainment at your fingertips.

For long trips there's cruise control and a speed limiter while Bluetooth and USB let you connect your smartphone. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto allow you to access entertainment, apps and answer calls hands-free. While the built-in satellite navigation, is displayed on a beautifully clear, centrally located 7-inch touchscreen. In addition, the Baleno RS features an LED multi-function display showing running performance, economy and engine output.

Comprehensive Safety

The Baleno is packed with a comprehensive range of safety features including; reversing camera, dual front, side and curtain airbags, Electronic Stability Programme (ESP®) and Suzuki's unique HEARTECT high-rigidity platform. For your peace of mind there's also ABS with Electronic Brake Force Distribution, brake assist, LED daytime running lamps and a Guide Me light.

Extraordinary economy

The new Baleno not only looks classy, it gets you from A to B without spending any extra than it needs to. From its next generation lightweight body to its powerfully efficient engines, every component has been designed for maximum efficiency, practicality and comfort.

The Baleno RS delivers the thrill of Suzuki’s advanced BoosterJet turbo technology. Coupled to a 6-stage automatic gearbox it delivers amazing fuel efficiency and performance with the power and torque of a much larger engine. The Baleno GLX employs a 1.4L VVT engine optimised for outstanding fuel economy and smooth performance, matched to a smooth electronic 4-stage automatic or 5-speed manual transmission.

It was always going to be a challenge to improve on such an outstanding vehicle. Yet the new Baleno proves even the best can be better – all the practical features you need for everyday driving, combined with exceptional style, luxury, space and performance.
