I owned it for a while now, awesome mileage, reliable and low maintenance. Loved it
those alloy wheels are alot better than what we get in india..
even the built quality safety features and everything is far better than the indian version
Aman Pal learn to ignore buddy
Agree Robin Indians really love cheap ass
@@bytheway997 in india baleno sucks
@@djme5348 yes
A fuel consumption heart attack, I love this guy
Suzuki produces good value city-drive compact /small vehicles. they are GREAT!
Love your review😊
good enough in every aspects. gonna buy one
1:55 “4.2 inch LCD display between the instruments here, which display some pretty cool but ultimately useless information” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 love the Baleno!
Suzuki's 6 AT is 100% much better than VW, Audi 1.0 DSG or Ford 1.0 powershift series, at least you won't stuck on road and spend a lot of money and time to get repair. fuel efficiency and economical reliablity is everything.
Is the automatic a torque converter auto?
@@gtibruce it is a CVT
@@gtibruce3:54
Uk spec slightly different 1.0 turbo and 1.2 normal petrol I like the review honest and helpful
Nice review!
Fuel efficiency settings can be changed in menu of that instrument cluster.
Good clip lad!
Alloy wheels here in India look like wheel caps
You can change the km/l to l/100kms. The process is in the car manual.
Used a swift for 4 years and I will always recommend a Suzuki anytime anyday. Next move Baleno
Can't believe how expansive cars have become in 2023. These were the days
LMAO a g-force meter in this.. Seems like a pretty nicely equipped car and the design is a lot more successful than the new Vitara imo.
good review man! I own the 1.2 petrol manual here in India...been 3 months now..its definitely a good car to drive..really easy to drive around...silent and refined!
is this the urban blue?
Do yoy still use it
Suzuki should never have left the US... 😫
Why the hell we are getting an ugly alloy design in India 😁
This is the top-spec trim in Australia. The base GL model has much more simple looking wheels.
+CarAdvice.com I have the top spec Alpha in India, but the engine is a 1.2L 4 Cylinders Petrol. Also, the alloy design is different than what you have in Australia (the Indian one looks bad 😡).. How smooth is the 3 Cylinder Turbo to drive? Does it have a long term reliability concern being a 3 Cylinder?
Not sure about long-term reliability, the car has only just launched. Three cyl engine is good and quite fun to drive.
Absolutely right Bro.I was also thinking the same :) .Look how beautiful they designed alloy wheels outside India and look what the shit they providing us in India....
I have exactly the same question I am asking everyone
how does the acceleration feels as comparison to other petrol engine ..is it a huge difference within the city traffic.Also , does it have the low end torque as compared to the diesel engine of the similar configuration ....as it always comes handy for urban usage at low speeds ..please do share your experience
Greetings from Italy! Here we have problems with suspensions. Suzuki has replaced only some components of the rear suspension system, regardless of the car equipment and production year. The result is that now to suffer is the front suspension system. Do you have any experience to share?
Hello, which one is better? Kia picanto 2017 $13800 AUD or Suzuki Baleno 2016 14500? Need some opinion.
I know both are Fuel economy cars, which one has the edge? Which one is good on driving motorway/long drive? Which one is low maintenance and low to service the car? Thank you.
this or troublesome fiesta 1.0 turbo?
In Baleno Alpha, since the tail lamp is different from other variants, is the bottom most part (white part below turn Indicator) is fitted with dummy lamp?
You can change the way the fuel consumption reads in the trip computer settings
What are the safety features?
Nice looking car
Strange! We in india find the steering too light 😂
But it weighs up quite well though!
I have 09 dzire diesel, it has a hydraulic steering and in comparison to the electric power steering i find it very light at given speed!
That's what Maruti Suzuki offers,great urban driveability. But Baleno weighs up quite good and its chassis is stiffer to counter higher speeds.
To many deference per country in design, engines I can understand, but safety , colors, rims, etc I don't understand . BTW there all build in India isn't?.....just got mine in Indonesia , also not the same options as in India and the rest of the world ...pretty confused
Have you reviewed the new swift?
It would sell like hot cake if it were available with the Swift Sport turbo engine.
is it the Urban blue ???
baleno or i20 which one is better
How is the suspension setup of the Baleno as compared to the new generation swift? In terms of ride quality and comfort which one is better?
Swift is bit firm compared to baleno more concentrated on comfort
Is it good ?
I love Austrália !!!! I was there in 2010.
We love it too, and we're here right now! :)
Enjoy your time there. It will be unforgettable.
+Lima LOL
I was there in 1977 and still am
Too many gangs here go back it’s very dangerous here and unsafe I am going back to India my motherland
Factory in India is an
Suzuki factory.Not a general gactory with a lot of cars-products.You can see that in google or in youtube video.
Suzuki factory here from 1980 and well established with world best supplier base. Others entered in 2010 and confused with Indian taste.
This car is also available in India with the Turbo-3 and Naturally-aspirated-4 and it is quite a seller for Suzuki.
Australia gets the NA 4 in the base GL too.
Adit Gupta don't forget the old fiat multijet from 2005 lol.
Does this car really worth for money since Suzuki calls its a premium hatchback?Forget about the interior i need to know the ride quality.Please give me an honest reply.
The ride is one of the best points of the Baleno. As we state in the video, it is really comfortable even over cobbles and speed humps. It's not darty and direct, but as an urban runabout is surprisingly comfortable.
thanks for the quick responce
Ride quality of the Indian version is mediocre. If you are looking for ride quality, get a Polo or Punto in India. Even TATAs these days produce cars with better ride than most Suzukis and Hyundais.
Suzuki ruled India from 1980, now very tough market. Suzuki learned a lot in India and has contacts with best supplier base in India.
Which would you choose swift or baleno?
Hey sir check put the indian baleno 2019
if im tight on budget, should I get Baleno GL or second hand Corolla? Please advise thanks..
Get new baleno
I hope you went with the Corolla
is this the australian version of the swift or they are sold side by side?
No they are two different cars
Mr Dreamer is super correct! And yes, Swift and Baleno are sold side by side.
It has booster jet engine but in india we get booster jet engine in rs only 😤😤😤
they have to upgrade things in order to compete with other manufacturers logically..
in india we get this for 13000$ lol
i am from india and i have baleno
Is this japanies or indian
This car has heavy demand in India... waiting time for car is more than 6 months.
Buy one in Australia and drive it back ;)
What is waiting period in Australia for this car ?
when did he told me ?? u idiot
+vishal shetty you're the idiot eho didn't understand the reference. he means that it is readily available.
koi waiting nahi hai hindi mei krh deta hun ab samagh jaa
LEAVE IT MAN , THERE'S A REASON WE'VE CASTE SYSTEM AND MULTIPLE RELIGIONS
IN THIS COUNTRY
Uhm caradvice.... I HAVE A QUESTION
WHY THERE IS A KIA SORRENTO COMMERCIAL WITH GRAND CHEROKEE SHOWING WITH RUBBER DUCKIES EVERYWHERE,!
not testet on country highway is a bit of an omission
We did for the written review - just not the video. You can read it here:
www.caradvice.com.au/465867/2016-suzuki-baleno-glx-turbo-review/
3:00 wrong it's not 1.4 liter, it's 1.2. A 1.4 suzuki engine won't create only 90hp logically.
Mehmet, the reviewer is not wrong. Here in Australia, the engine choices are 1.4 litre naturally aspirated or 1.0 litre turbo.
He is sat too close to steering wheel / air bag
This car is good except the front end.its way too curvy..at least made the front flat and muscular..nd..Where are rear air con vents,flat bottom steering wheel,soft touch plastics,sunglass holder,cooled glovebox?..seriously??if it wont come in facelift m going for elite i20 2018
Rented one in Jamaica, 2019. It was an okay car, not great.
He didn't talk about safety
Заебись обзор!
makes a funny noise
cardiac arrest...
Heart attack...
He neglected to mention Suzuki's terrible 6 month/10,000 km service interval. For shame, Suzuki, for shame..
jq747 yeah but only $175 each service
It’s 12 months, u like the swift bud.
Zerodha
NO! NO! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DASH LIKE A 1980s silver painted Hitachi ghetto blaster. Shame, since this is a very reasonable, attractive over all package. Just do something with that dash. How about piano black plastic instead of the imitation silver painted plastic trying to look like satin chrome, but failing miserably, in a cascading design which is like something from the cover of a 1970s E. L. O. album. Nonetheless, a decent looking car at an enticing price. looks like it might be a winner.
I am renting one as my car is getting repaired, it's garbage, the base 1.4 with the horrible horrid 4 speed, my mums 2002 kq laser is better to drive, doesnt even have a boot light, a mirage even has that and that's a coke can on wheels. The transmission whines like an asthmatic, and the steering wheel is extremely ergonomic, build quality is also atrocious, cabin materials rival that of a vl commodore but at least the vl had soft door cards. And is that primer underneath the bonnet? And it displays in km per liter because they didn't even bother switching it for our market, it's built in India where that is the norm.
In closing save yourself some time and money and get a Skoda Fabia.
OMG who unlease this stupid car in US
But here at United States 🇺🇸 Suzuki cars 🚘 are trash shit. Not business anymore. Suzuki Forenza piece of junk it’s Daewoo rebadge then GM too parts from Holden
pathetic review of an Amazing car...
is this the australian version of the swift or they are sold side by side?
Nicolas Bozzo side by side
