The Suzuki Baleno Esteem, a compact sedan that was produced from 1995 to 1998, represented Suzuki's foray into the North American market. It was a rebadged version of the Suzuki Baleno, a popular hatchback model primarily sold in Europe and Asia. The Esteem aimed to offer a budget-friendly and reliable alternative to larger and more expensive sedans. Although it shared the same underpinnings as the Baleno hatchback, the Esteem received a unique sedan body style, featuring a more conservative and traditional design that appealed to the North American market. The Esteem was offered with a choice of two engine options: a 1.3-liter 4-cylinder engine or a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine, both of which were known for their fuel efficiency and reliability. The car was also known for its spacious interior, offering ample room for passengers and cargo.

The Suzuki Baleno Esteem gained a reputation for its affordability, fuel efficiency, and reliability, making it a popular choice among budget-conscious buyers. However, it faced stiff competition from other established players in the compact sedan market, which ultimately contributed to its discontinuation in 1998. Despite its relatively short production run, the Baleno Esteem left a mark in the automotive landscape by establishing Suzuki's foothold in the North American market. Its reliability and practicality resonated with a segment of the market seeking an economical and reliable transportation solution. The Esteem also contributed to Suzuki's growing reputation for building reliable and fuel-efficient vehicles, paving the way for its future success in the North American market.
