Suzuki has officially launched the Suzuki Baleno at the 2017 Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS). The Baleno is imported CBU from India with small changes – such as the higher 170 mm ground clearance – to suit local conditions.
The Baleno is a five-door hatchback that’s positioned higher than the Swift in India. The sub-4m car is powered by Suzuki’s proven K14B engine that’s already found in the Ertiga MPV and Ciaz sedan in Indonesia. The naturally aspirated DOHC VVT unit puts out 93 PS/130 Nm, and is paired to a five-speed manual and a four-speed automatic transmission in this sub-1,000 kg car.
Standard equipment include HID projector headlamps, LED tail lamps, fog lamps, 16-inch rims, four-point rear parking sensors, keyless entry with push start, auto air con, colour multi-info display, Bluetooth, leather steering wheel with audio/phone buttons and tilt/telescopic steering. Dual airbags, ABS and EBD are the only entries in the safety column.
Door visors, a side body moulding between the wheels and a colour touchscreen head unit are three items on the options list. The Suzuki Baleno is priced at Rp 195,000,000 (RM62,645) for the manual and Rp 207,000,000 (RM66,506) for the similarly specced auto. Inoffensive, but not nearly as cool as the Ignis it shares a stand with.

OCD’s detected when the gear knob misaligned with the infotainment knob. Why though
it is not misaligned, it is design in nature to conform ergonomic
Could’ve been new P1 Suprima
So exp for something so basic. Its about the same spec & same price as our Almari. Something must be wrong with indomee if follow basher logic.
In indo, this Baleno price is the cheapest small hatchback in the segment. About Rp 70,000,000 (RM 23000) different to Jazz and Yaris and Rp 100,000,000 (RM 33000) different to Mazda 2.
WTH?! For the price diff, can alredi buy a driving skool Axia here! Something somewhere must be wrong with indomee there, if using basher logic.
too bad not coming to Malaysia.
Can Geely chop off the colaboration with suzuki?
Ertiga is hardly seen on the road cos of sluggish Proton.

Theres more Er3 than ur sienta on the roads.

It will be a hit if proton rebadge this model and sell it under rm70k. Saved 20k from buying brv.
