    Suzuki Baleno first appeared in concept form during the 2015 Geneva Motor Show as i-K2. Half a year later in Frankfurt Suzuki launched the production Baleno. Interesting bit is the Dualjet SHVS hybrid system.
    SHVS stands for smart hybrid vehicle by Suzuki. SHVS is not a classic hybrid, like in a Toyota Prius. If you want to impress your friends you can tell them it’s more like KERS from F1. Kinetic energy recuperated during deceleration is stored in batteries under the front seats, and used to power AC, when the engine shuts off, to turn the engine back on, and then to aid the engine during acceleration. However at the car is never powered solely by electric energy.

    You can be happy you survived this review.... Surprisingly my new Baleno SHVS feels very comfortable and driving works very well and save. I still can't believe I get this high efficient lightweight car for this little money. I think Suzuki has a very special clientele who is far away from being a car show-off.

      @@commentguy7 It's a car for rational people and not for irrational ones. I consider it the best car in it's class as far as value for money and especially reliability is concerned. The car drives awesome without body roll and the brakes are fantastic with a lot of feel and feedback. I leave a 1000cc Polo turbo behind me because my 1.4l, 5 spd manual Baleno is a quarter ton lighter. The reviewer is an idiot!!!

  • @richardarcher3435
    @richardarcher3435 Před rokem +4

    I'm in the UK and I find this car very interesting but what I can't understand is why it is not popular here and people buy the Swift instead. The Swift costs about the same second hand, is a smaller car, has less boot space, doesn't do as much to the gallon, and has a weird looking rear end. What am I missing? BTW, for me, you may aswell be talking Martian when giving figures in kilometres / litre instead of mpg.

    • @MarekDrivesENG
      @MarekDrivesENG  Před rokem

      That's why we have Google "x L/100 km to mpg" and then choose US or Imperial. This gets more than 50 mpg (as far as I remember). The problem with it was that when it was offered new with the allegedly revolutionary MHEV, it cost significantly more than the non-MHEV variant, and was just a compliance exercise. The Swift by comparison was cheap and cheerful. Also Suzuki couldn't make up their mind, whether this was a compact or a supermini, so it was hard to compare it against the competitors.

    • @richardarcher3435
      @richardarcher3435 Před rokem

      @@MarekDrivesENG Thanks. Actually I think it's more like 60mph average. I've just realised this review was 6 years ago. The only part I find worrying about your review is the ride. The roll, feeling the bumps, that is very important for me, I've never heard a reviewer say that before, although it's the bumps that are more important. I don't know about cornering roll, that can be more subjective depending on how fast you expect to be able to go round corners. I'll have to look at more reviews.

    The interior looks fine. Materials are probably trying too hard with their budget to be light and durable, sacrificing perceived quality.

    Marek, have you a new Sx-Cross on your schedule? I am interested in a 1.0 turbo variant, after they ditched the terrible nose. Oddly enough, it is cheaper than Baleno with the same engine.

    CZcams please please please don't advise me this poor reviewer again... good facts behind the jokes and the sarcasm... But you should think about the viewer, who would buy this car or search about this car... may they like your review? Is your job drive the car? Or enjoy driving the car? In the end I don't know if I can trust you or is just like you where unhappy and you did this crappy review because you had to

      Let's put it this way: I have to drive various cars to give you my opinion about them. My opinion about this car is what it is. Value for money, not quite a driver's car though.

    Wow, excellent review!
    It's very polished and well done, with everything that a test drive should contain: exterior shots from all angles, interior shots, trunk, engine, and even a suspension and underneath! A little drive and explanation, a very good subjective opinion, and all in 9 minutes!
    Well done, Marek!
    You've come a long way since your first reviews!
    Keep up the good work!

    It's amazing how Suzuki make the Swift - which is truly fun to drive but now soon to be replaced - and the Baleno which is, unfortunately, neither. Clearly they must have 2 engineering teams because some of their cars are fun and some are rubbish to drive. I come from India, so we know our Suzukis well. Shame with the Baleno, it's lighter and as powerful as the Swift, so it should have been much much better.
