The new Baleno that would have been ideal for Nexa outlets

No, this is not the Baleno that India got to see many years ago. That Baleno sedan flopped badly. In fact this Baleno should have been the one that made its debut at the new premium Nexa outlets set up in country... and not the S-Cross.

This all new Baleno, an ideal hatchback from compact car expert Suzuki is set to make its world premiere at the 66th IAA Frankfurt Motor Show. The debut of the full production version follows on from the iK-2 Concept seen at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year. The Baleno harmoniously combines stylish design, spacious interior and new technologies.

These new technologies include the first application of the newly Suzuki developed 1.0-litre Boosterjet direct injection turbocharged petrol engine that saves fuel while delivering driving pleasure. Fuel efficiency has been improved by reducing engine displacement; output and torque are boosted by using a turbocharger. Unfortunately, the new S-Cross should have also been fitted with a petrol engine...like the one they are promising for the new Baleno.

In addition to fulfilling fuel efficiency and dynamic performance expectations, the layout has been optimised and various technologies used to reduce weight in order to meet the rigorous size and weight requirements specific to compact cars. The new Baleno will be launched in the UK soon.

Further details of the Baleno will be disclosed at the Suzuki press conference at the Frankfurt Motor show. The conference will be held on September 15, 2015.
