The Suzuki Baleno, produced from 1995 to 2002, was a compact hatchback that aimed to capture the growing demand for stylish and practical vehicles in the late 1990s. The 1997-2000 model years, specifically, offered a range of improvements over the initial model, including a refined interior, updated engine options, and enhanced safety features. The Baleno's design was characterized by its sleek and aerodynamic lines, showcasing a modern aesthetic for the time. With its compact dimensions, the Baleno was particularly well-suited for urban environments, offering nimble handling and ease of maneuverability. Under the hood, the 1997-2000 Baleno offered a range of petrol engines, primarily the 1.3-liter and 1.6-liter units, known for their fuel efficiency and smooth operation. These engines were coupled with either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission, providing drivers with a choice depending on their preference and driving style. The Baleno's suspension system, utilizing MacPherson struts in the front and a torsion beam in the rear, contributed to a comfortable and balanced ride. Although not renowned for its sporty driving experience, the Baleno provided a pleasant and reliable daily commute, making it a popular choice for families and individuals alike. Its practicality was further enhanced by a spacious interior, offering adequate legroom and headroom for both front and rear passengers. The Baleno's versatility was further emphasized by its generous cargo space, capable of accommodating luggage for weekend getaways or groceries for a large family.
