Baleno 
Everyday exceptional
The Baleno is the ultimate everyday car. Cool and sophisticated, stylish and fun, the Baleno turns everyday driving into an exceptional experience. With more space and smart features, it’s the versatile hatchback for your active lifestyle.
Unmatched style
Inside, the flowing lines of the Baleno convey a sense of sophistication and movement with a strikingly simple dash. Controls are well-placed with information and entertainment at your fingertips. Space and light are optimized perfectly for an extremely roomy cabin with excellent visibility. Innovative design and advanced technologies combine gracefully to ensure you enjoy an exceptionally comfortable drive.
 | ENGINE PERFORMANCE AND ECONOMY DISPLAYS The Baleno RS features an advanced multi-functional display that intuitively conveys a range of information such as running performance, economy, and engine output. |
 | CRUISE CONTROL AND SPEED LIMITER On long trips, cruise control adds to your comfort by maintaining a consistent speed. The speed limiter can help you save fuel, drive safely within the limit, and avoid unexpected tickets. |
 | BLUETOOTH AND USB Bluetooth® lets you connect wirelessly to your music and contacts on your smartphone. You can answer calls while you’re traveling or change tracks without taking your hands off the wheel. |
 | CLIMATE AIR CONDITIONING The automatic digital air conditioner in the Baleno RS features a unique round dial with a high-contrast LCD display for simple comfort adjustment. |
 | KEYLESS ENTRY AND START Unlock the Baleno RS by pressing a button on the door handle, and start the car while the key remains safely in your pocket. |
 | TOUCHSCREEN INFOTAINMENT The Baleno has a centrally located touchscreen infotainment system featuring voice-activated audio and smartphone integration to make your journey that much easier. |
 | SMARTPHONE CONNECTIVITY Connect your compatible smartphone via USB to make phone calls, access your music, use satellite navigation apps, send and receive messages, and get directions by voice command or tapping on the display. |
Exceptional comfort
With Suzuki’s unparalleled small car know-how every centimeter in the Baleno is crafted with your comfort and everyday use in mind. The Baleno’s high ceiling makes it a breeze to get in and out and sitting inside, the sense of openness and freedom is inspiring. The interior space is thoughtfully designed with ample space for front and rear passengers to relax and lots of clever little touches around the cabin make every journey enjoyable.
 | COMFORT BEHIND THE WHEEL The Baleno’s steering column tilts up and down (GLX) and telescopically (RS) for driver comfort. |
 | A PLACE FOR EVERYTHING Every space in the Baleno has a purpose from the thoughtful compartments for keys and phones to easily accessed drink holders. |
 | SPACIOUS ALL ROUND The ergonomically designed front seats have been widened for more shoulder room and a wider rear seat means even the longest journeys will be fidget free. |
 | ROOMY BOOT SPACE You’d be hard-pressed to find a larger luggage area in this class with 355 liters of space for all of your groceries, golf clubs, and odd-shaped items from the garden center. |
Everyday safety
The Baleno is equipped with a comprehensive range of integrated safety features including;
dual front, side, and curtain SRS airbags, Electronic Stability Programme (ESP®), Suzuki’s unique HEARTECT technology, ABS with Electronic Brake Distribution, and Brake Assist. To enhance visibility and safety, the Baleno also includes a reverse camera with guidelines, Guide Me light, LED daytime running lamps, LED rear combination lamps (RS), and fog lamps (RS).
 | 6 SRS AIRBAGS The Baleno features six airbags for the driver and passenger seats including front, side, and curtain airbags for safety and protection. |
 | LED PROJECTOR HEADLAMPS The distinctive LED projector headlamps in the Baleno RS are auto-light-sensing and have built-in daytime running lamps. The GLX features multi-reflector halogen headlamps with DRLs built into the bumper. GUIDE ME LIGHTS The Baleno’s guide-me headlamps continue to illuminate the road for a short while after you get out. When the doors are unlocked with the remote control, the headlamps turn on to lead you to and from the vehicle. |
 | REVERSE CAMERA Now you can reverse safely without having to twist around in your seat. It makes parking easier and can be a lifesaver when kids or animals are around. |
 | SAFETY-ENGINEERED BODY Baleno’s body incorporates Suzuki’s state-of-the-art HEARTECT high-rigidity platform for lightness and occupant safety. Crumple zones efficiently absorb and dissipate energy from frontal, side and rear impacts, for maximum safety. |
 | ESP® Electronic Stability Programme or ESP® helps you stay in control when you’re cornering by counteracting understeer and oversteer. It also improves traction and reduces the possibility of skidding. |
 | ABS WITH EBD The braking force on each wheel is automatically modulated to provide the right amount of pressure and bring the Baleno to a safe, controlled stop. Ventilated front disc brakes provide powerful stopping performance. The RS model complements this with solid rear discs. |
Extraordinary economy
The Baleno not only looks classy, it gets you from A to B without spending any more than it needs to. From its lightweight platform to its powerfully efficient engines, every component is designed for maximum efficiency, practicality, and safety. The Baleno is smooth, and responsive, with superb all-around visibility and maneuverability; it quietly does its job so you can enjoy every part of your day.
 | 1.0 BOOSTERJET TURBO The RS’s advanced BoosterJet direct injection turbo petrol engine delivers the power and torque of a much larger engine. Coupled with a 6-stage automatic transmission it delivers amazing fuel efficiency and performance. Power: 82 kW Torque: 160 Nm Fuel: 5.2 L/100 km combined |
 | 1.4 VVT The GLX’s VVT engine is optimized for outstanding fuel economy and smooth performance. Matched to a smooth electronic 4-stage automatic or 5-speed manual transmission it delivers willing power when needed. Power: 68 kW Torque: 130 Nm Fuel: 5.1-5.4 L/100 km combined |
 | LIGHTWEIGHT PLATFORM The Baleno’s smooth flowing frame with fewer joints means increased strength and rigidity for improved safety and handling. Significant weight savings in both the frame and components result in the Baleno offering an incredible amount of space along with enhanced performance and outstanding fuel economy. |
