What's all this about?
Suzuki will launch the new Baleno at the Geneva Motor Show on 1st March with UK sales due to start in June.
What do we know about it?
Using a new platform, the Baleno promises to offer plenty of passenger and luggage space for its size. Two petrol-fuelled powertrains are available, a 1.0-litre direct-injection turbocharged 'BoosterJet' engine and 1.2-litre SHVS (Smart Hybrid Vehicle by Suzuki). The latter system uses an Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) connected to a lithium ion battery to assist the internal combustion engine. More details will be released once the Baleno is unveiled in Geneva.
