I own a Suzuki Baleno. I bought it brand new in 2017. Unfortunatelly my country is in European Union and because of the hypocrite CO2 emission rules, Suzuki stopped selling Balenos in EU, tho I would buy this upgraded Baleno... It's still a practical, nice car with little fuel consumption and good price.

I love this little car. So much features for such a great price. Makes the Polo seem so ridiculously overpriced. Also, I don't even know why people buy small SUVs. They're so unnecessary. SUVs don't handle well and use more fuel. Anyway, what I like so much about the Baleno GLX is the LED lights. It makes a massive difference to night time driving. The surround view camera is also such a great feature. It's also so much better value than the Toyota Starlet clone. I can't express how much I like this little car. If only it had a small capacity turbo engine which is so nice on the highway since they rev lower and a turbo makes it feel better when overtaking. But at least it's a 1.5 and not a 1 litre or 1.2

Great review! I have the GL manual. I have had excellent experience with it over the past 6 months. There's everything I need in this car. It cruises nicely and feels safe and solid at 120. I average 4,9 on the freeway and 5,2 urban, although it was 5,9 in the beginning. R700 for full tank and it goes 600km. MrHowMuch is right...if you're thinking about it, go ahead.

The auto is a torque converter. Its set up to run similar to its manual sibling and also runs at 3000rpm at 120km/hr. Its fuel consumption in city reaches about 7.1. its not slow either. Performs quite well for a 4 speed. Suzuki has tuned it to adjust to your driving style. It will shift up earlier at lower rpms when it detects throttle input for low speed driving. It holds rpm longer when throttle input is for high speed paced driving. This automatically adjusts the fuel efficiency. Great tuning on suzukis end!

To point out one thing, for you to also get great fuel economy and the maximum performance of the car it is better to use 95 unleaded petrol rather than 93 since 95 is more stable and it reduces the risk of igniting, allowing better performance and efficiency, so currently if you use 93 and averaging 6l/100km you can easy get a lower figure of 5,7l/100km using 95 unleaded.

Great review, thank you. Please if you could add rpm to your kW, & Nm that be awesome 🙏🏻 Max torque comes in at 4400rpm, so be interesting to see at how many kph you'd get 4400rpm in 5th gear 😊 And going past 6000rpm to reach your max kW output is not feasible towards your engine. I think it's a fun drive if push each gear to around 4000rpm, just under it's max, should keep the steady, or hold out it's maintenance plan....

Yeah after Muzi Sambo bought this car I instantly liked it. It is a great package at a very decent price. Compared to it's rival, the Polo, it really can be seen as bargain. The heads up display is a really nice touch. What I'm not a fan of is the power and torque figures but I guess it's okay🤔. As for Sizwe, I like the name cause it does look like a Sizwe.

How long does it take to reach those figures.. I have the auto for 4 days now.. With 200km on it, I am sitting at 8.1l/km..100km city drive and 100km highway done so far.. Do I need more mileage before this economy drops. By the way I'm happy with the auto gearbox. It's smooth shifting if you drive with light foot. You don't even notice the gearshift. Only on hills it will obviously be in lower gear for a little while till it builds speed but that's minimal. All depends how you drive.. If you calm driver it does its job well. Female drivers will not even know what's going on. My wife has this car as a daily town driver and is extremely happy with auto. So light on takeoff with more than enough power for urban drivers
