Suzuki Baleno 2017 Review | Driver's Seat

[@PaulSebastianM]

First time seeing this reviewer. Very convincing and concise conveyed information.

[@TestAutomobila]

Very good review, I think its fun to drive, its very close with price with Ford Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost, Fiesta for Europe is from Germany and this Baleno is from India.

[@sunilayya8948]

But offers much better reliability and space than euro rivals.

[@sunilayya8948]

Concise and informative review. But, i chose a swift over the baleno because i couldn't live with that korean inspired dashboard. But, i acknowledge its far better for family use than the swift.

Why spare tyre is R15 instead of R 16 ?

[@Panzerfury18]

I have this car. I'm not satisfied.I bought it factory new in september 2017. Maybe i got a bad car, but here are my issues. 7 Months after we bought it, a sensor died, and the car couldn't start. The rear suspension is making a weird noise when we drive over speed bumps. I have taken it into the shop for it 1 time, and they did something which helped for 2 weeks. The driver seat has begun making noises whenever i turn to the right. This also happened in a similar model I had for 2 days when my own was at the shop for service. The autopilot is useless if it's snowing, because the sensor gets covered in dirt (this might be a problem with all cars having adaptive autopilot, i don't know, since it's the first car i have with adaptive autopilot). The ride is noisy on the highway. The car began to make a high "singing" noise after 9 months. The suzuki seller charged me money to clean the brakes, because they had collected a lot of dirt and brake dust (it did help though), i just thought the warrenty would cover it. I have never tried that with the two other cars I have owned. Which I had for way longer.

I really don't know why Suzuki a Japanese car maker making these cars in India for the wider international market, particularly the European and UK markets. I agree having driven this car for a couple of months on borrowing and I agree with you. Spot on. I prefer my Nissan Micra, VW Golf, Peugeot 207 Meridian or Vauxhall Astra all of which were good machines.

This is a good review👍

[@gianniaonoottimista]

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?

[@lankhombasingh9099]

Yes and this car is little bumpy too

[@simonmiller5165]

Why would you say the 1.2 is the top of the range when it isn’t ? The 1.0 has 111bhp. It’s way faster. The top of the range is the sz5 - nothing to do with the engine.

[@cx24x]

Good long review. Thanks!

[@s1Lence_au]

how similar is this model to the 2018? pls do answer!

[@llyre7451]

Which is less bumpy and has safer ratings? Pulsar or Baleno?

[@saveriollo]

Is this the normal white or the metallic pearl white?

[@BasuCharu]

Good review.

[@attilakhan4606]

nice family car indeed

[@friendlyhorseuk7220]

It's hardly huge it is 3 9 9 5 mm long which makes it smaller than the i20 and the Polo and the Corsa but a little larger than the swift.

[@FearCraddss]

Baleno-the best in segment.

[@foruonly7283]

swift 2017 or baleno?

[@driversseat659]

foru only all depends what is key for you. Swift is better and more fun to drive. Baleno is roomier and practical.

[@rayy4216]

Neither...i20 is the way to go

[@FearCraddss]

@@driversseat659 What do you mean- Swift is better?

[@FearCraddss]

BALENO

[@shadowthrone3695]

kia rio 1.2 or baleno 1.2 petrol?

[@driversseat659]

Shadow Throne new Rio.

[@shadowthrone3695]

Driver's Seat rio or i20 or theres not much difference? Thank you

[@driversseat659]

i20 but not a huge amount in it. Just drives a little better (in our opinion).

[@driversseat659]

Incase you haven't seen them, we've reviewed both - kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6irgYB7mMl3nqs - kzbin.info/www/bejne/i53SfGaprsusaqc

[@gtibruce]

@@driversseat659 Do you know if the 3 cyl engine is sound on these cars and doesn't burn oil like some of these modern day engines do like the Aygo own?

[@mohitsachdev3905]

fun to drive n space

Mohit sachdev what about a Skoda Fabia? kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYaVq4uifJVgfLM

[@bhagawatisharanu]

Can you please tell the difference between indian version vs others

[@DK-yb3re]

Bhagawati Sharan Upadhyay indian version is shit version 😂😂

[@JensiT1]

Indian version has fewer airbags and is in general less safe

[@hafizhandikapitoyo3240]

Suzuki is cool i have suzuki ertiga

[@CosgroveNotts]

Just buy a 1.2 sz3. Better fuel consumption. Same performance and a lot cheaper

[@mohitsachdev3905]

polo or baleno which one is better

[@driversseat659]

Mohit sachdev different cars really. Build quality verses space and tech. New Polo arrives later this year which will be interesting. What is most important to you in a supermini?

[@mohammedadhil7554]

baleno

[@Richdadful]

Polo is way better. Its the king of hatchbacks. But has less mileage, costlier to maintain, has less space. Resale value isn't good in India. Looks smaller than Baleno. Basically if in Europe: Polo> Baleno India: Baleno>Polo

[@friendlyhorseuk7220]

Hardly huge. It's 3995 long

[@aatifkhan26]

Detailed review.

Fiesta beware
