Drivers value its strong reliability record and generous boot, making it a viable choice for families or anyone looking for an efficient all-rounder. The Suzuki Baleno offers plenty of room, comfort and easy ownership. Launched in the UK in 2016, this generation was on the market until 2019. It slots alongside the sporty Swift in Suzuki’s range, focusing on practicality over playful looks. It rivals the Ford Fiesta, Hyundai i20 and Skoda Fabia, often undercutting them on price while matching them for usable space. Most used models are powered by a lively three-cylinder 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine, with a mild hybrid (MHEV) 1.2 also available. Even basic versions are well kitted out, with higher-spec variants adding advanced safety tech and sat nav. Today, the Baleno is sought after for its roomy boot, affordable running costs and practical motoring experience.
