suzuki baleno review australia

The Suzuki Baleno is the bargain hatch that prioritises space and thrift over fireworks. Its 1.4-litre engine is modest but the car’s featherweight feel keeps city hops easy and fuel use in the 5–6 L/100 km ballpark. Cabin and boot space punch above its size class, though interior plastics are about as fancy as a servo coffee. Ride and handling are tidy rather than thrilling, and safety tech on many models is basic (think fewer driver aids than newer rivals). If you want cheap, roomy, and simple to run, it’s a sensible buy; if you crave polish and gizmos, look elsewhere—or spend more.
