The Suzuki Baleno Esteem, a compact sedan introduced in 1995, was Suzuki's attempt to capture a larger share of the North American market. This model marked a departure from its previous, more utilitarian offerings, aiming for a more refined and stylish appeal. The Esteem was based on the Suzuki Baleno platform, a compact car that enjoyed global success, and was available in both three-door hatchback and four-door sedan configurations. While the Esteem lacked the sporty flair of its Japanese counterpart, it offered a practical and affordable option for budget-conscious consumers.

The Esteem's styling, while not groundbreaking, was clean and functional, with a somewhat conservative design that appealed to a wider audience. Under the hood, it featured a 1.3-liter or 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine coupled with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission, offering adequate power for city driving and highway cruising. The Esteem was known for its fuel efficiency and relatively low maintenance costs, contributing to its popularity amongst value-conscious buyers. Despite its success in the early years, the Esteem faced growing competition from more feature-rich and stylish models, leading to its discontinuation in North America in 2002. However, it remained a popular choice in select markets worldwide for its reliability and practicality.
