Is the Design Discerning?
We wanted to incorporate new design into the style of the vehicle without losing its individuality. The Baleno combines a low and wide form for outstanding stabiligy with a body shaped by dynamically flowing curves. This painstaking attention to design is what grabs the viewer’s heart and refuses to let it go.
Does It Compromise on Spaciousness?
Our focus on style didn’t lead us to neglect the pursuit of spaciousness. The Baleno offers best-in-class cabin space, with plenty of room for adults to ride in comfort while also securing generous storage capacity for luggage. This sense of comfort and opennnes is what makes going out fun.
A Stylish User-friendly Instrument Panel
The Baleno instrument panel follows the low and wide design concept of the exterior, creating an expansive interior space. The innovative design of the instrument panel centre, with easily operated display audio and automatic air conditioning controls accentuates the cockpit.
The Smartphone Linkage Display Audio works with Apple CarPlay and MirrorLink.
By connecting your compatible iPhone, Apple CarPlay allows you to make calls, access music, send and receive messages, get directions by voice command or a tap on display.
Likewise, MirrorLink lets various apps appear on the vehicle’s display, allowing access to your smartphone’s features.

Is It Exhilarating to Drive?
The Baleno not only offers outstanding performance but also makes driving fun. To achieve such excellent driving performance, the Baleno incorporates a new powertrain and a lighter new-generation platform. This is a car that tempts you to keep driving on and on.
High Levels of Performance and Fuel Efficiency
Beneath the flowing lines of the bonnet are two engines designed in the pursuit of maximum energy efficiency. Newly designed with downsizing in mind, the 1.0 BOOSTERJET direct-injection turbo engine reduces engine displacement while achieving higher power output and torque comparable to a larger engine, resulting in improved fuel efficiency and performance. The other is the new 1.2 DUALJET engine, which incorporates a unique dual injection system to improve fuel combustion efficiency and achieve strong running power, even with natural aspiration. Combined with the new SHVS (Smart Hybrid Vehicle by Suzuki) mild hybrid system, the DUALJET engine offers greatly improved fuel performance.
A Clever Hybrid with Exceptional Overall Balance
In our quest for even greater efuel efficiency, we developed a new mild hybrid system called SHVS (Smart Hybrid Vehicle by Suzuki). The SHVS assists the engine using a light, compact ISG (Integrated Starter Generator) that has an electric motor function and a high-efficiency lithium-ion battery with outstanding charge and power supply performance. This is an optimal hybrid system for compact cars, designed to offer not only fuel efficiency but also space efficiency and overall balance.
A New-Generation Platform that Pursues an Ideal Form
Developing the Baleno led to huge leaps in the evolution of its platform. The ideal form of a framework with smooth and continuous curves disperses energy and heightens rigidity while also achieving light weight by eliminating the unnecessary. This new-generation platform elevates fundamental automotive functions like cruising, turning, and stopping to the next level.
Advanced Safety Features for “Just in Case” Support for Drivers
Knowing you’re well protected can make driving more fun and yet many drivers have surely felt a chill when the car in front of them braked suddenly or behaved unexpectedly. In order to ease the burden on such drivers as much as possible, the Baleno is equipped with advanaced preventive safety features such as Radar Brake Support and Adaptive Cruise Control.
