Suzuki is well known globally for its expertise in small cars and the new Baleno hatchback is its latest example.
Since launching its first car in 1955, the Suzulight, Suzuki has produced a vast range of significant models each tailored to the needs of its time.
Historically, Suzuki has earned high acclaim for its stylish, city oriented designs, compact and easy to manage dimensions while also offering good performance, favourable fuel economy and low emissions.
Baleno introduces a ‘Liquid Flow’ design theme and with its compact body, roomy interior and efficient powertrains all on a new generation platform. Baleno offers style, utility, and fun driving performance combined with good fuel efficiency.
A larger car than Swift at 3.99 metres long, Baleno offers a more rational choice for buyers looking for extra interior space and a larger boot capacity but may not be looking to move up in size to a Vitara or S-Cross.
Baleno offers the best tandem distance in its class which is the measurement taken between the front and rear seats.
The new Baleno is produced in India where Suzuki has a long established reputation and a major presence for more than 30 years. In 2015, 1.3 million cars were manufactured in Suzuki’s two Indian plants and the current share for the passenger vehicle market is a very impressive 48 per cent (April 2016). The production line for Baleno is at Maruti Suzuki’s Manesar plant in Haryana.
Baleno will eventually be exported to more than 100 countries and the most recent introduction was to the Japanese domestic market with sales launch in numerous countries in Europe following soon after.
