Suzuki Baleno reaches the Spanish market associated with two petrol engines that stand out for their efficiency for its power. Its price, from 12,655 euros.

He Suzuki Baleno 2016 It premiered at the Geneva Motor Show and can now be purchased on the Spanish market. With the beginning of the marketing, we tested the two engines offered.

East Suzuki Baleno It belongs to the B segment being located near the C-segment, but staying in 3.995 meters long. That does not reach the 4 meters, because in India, a country where it is manufactured and which has a major market, is a higher paying taxes, so good for them to stay somewhat shorter length. The Suzuki Baleno is positioned one notch above its little brother, the Suzuki Swift, which allows it to offer a more generous interior space and a trunk with 355 liters capacity (with the lower tray removed). Thanks to the new platform that uses, benefits from a lower weight 1,000 kg (100 kg less than Suzuki Swift) And an improvement in behavior, the latter thanks to gains in torsional rigidity.

If we move into the model, we found a finished correct, they are not known for using high quality materials. The passenger seat is comfortable and allows depth adjustment and height, not the passenger, who can not be adjusted in height and can be something right for a person of great stature. The row of rear seats has more than enough space for the legs, though the roof can also be too close to the head, especially for taller passengers.

The instrumentation box Suzuki Baleno 2016 has a nice colorful background in sight and that displays unusual options such cars as the G’s forces, power and torque and management used gasoline engine with the electrical device ISG (Integrated Starter Generator), The latter in the case of version SHVS, the system micro-hybridization.

The available finishes are called GL, GLE and GLX.

He Suzuki Baleno GL (Only available with the 90 hp engine) has wheels 15 inches, electric heated door mirrors, tire pressure gauge, air conditioning, LED daytime running lights type, automatic headlights on, trip computer and MP3 radio, among others. completion GLE, meanwhile, adds 16-inch wheels to the above.

The highest completion is the model GLX, has drawn chrome accents on the door and the door moldings, fog lamps integrated into the exterior mirrors flashing lights, browser, rear view camera, touch screen 7 inches, depth adjustable steering wheel (for the rest only in height), cruise control and adaptive cruise Predictive Brake Control (RBS).

We tested engines Suzuki Baleno 2016

He Suzuki Baleno It is available in the Spanish market associated with two petrol engines, a 1.2 Dualjet atmospheric four-cylinder 90 CV power (available with option SHVS micro-hybridization ISG) And tricilíndrico 1.0 Boosterjet turbocharged 111 hp. In our country, both engines are offered coupled to the manual gearbox five-speed, except in the case of Suzuki Baleno 1.0 Boosterjet with GLX (highest) finish, with automatic transmission hydraulic converter type (such as also it referred to torque converter) with six gears.

We were able to test the Suzuki Baleno 1.2 Dualjet SHVS and Suzuki Baleno 1.0 Boosterjet, both coupled to the manual gearbox five speeds, because the brand did not provide any turbo unit with automatic transmission.

The model system micro-hybridization ISG It has an electrical device supports the gasoline engine during acceleration, both during the first few meters of torn as during acceleration faster. Electricity is produced by the energy released during engine withholding releasing the accelerator pedal and during braking. A small lithium ion battery (capacity 3 kWh) Is responsible for accumulating energy.

The response Suzuki Baleno 1.2 Dualjet SHVS It is nice, but its 90 hp and torque limited make steeper slopes require down to third gear to climb without propellant ‘comes down’. Yes, the consumption according 5.1 l / km combined cycle during our test make it an interesting option. This version would fit me more for those who make more urban, but not rule out occasional stretches of motorway and dual carriageway. Miss transmission CVT (continuously variable) type, which itself is available in other coupled to this mechanical safe and can contribute to the expected softness by such versions markets.

He Suzuki 1.0 Boosterjet stretches better marches and does not go as forced as the least powerful. Obviously, growing consumption in the combined cycle and placed in a 6l / 100 km according to our test drive, a figure within the margins of the segment with this engine. The overall response of this engine is much better than the previous one, which makes it more interesting for those who are traveling by car or for those who want a car quicker acceleration and overtaking maneuvers option.
