The Suzuki Baleno (Japanese: スズキ・バレーノ Hepburn: Suzuki Barēno) is a subcompact car produced by the Japanese manufacturer Suzuki in India since September 2015 with a hatchback body style.[3]
Prior to this, the "Baleno" nameplate had been applied to the Cultus Crescent in numerous markets and also for sedan version of Aerio and SX4 in Indonesia. Unlike the previous generations of Baleno when it was offered as a sedan, wagon, or a 3-door hatchback, the model sold since 2015 is exclusively offered as a 5-door hatchback.
Since June 2019, it is also marketed at Toyota dealerships in India as the Toyota Glanza,[4][5] and since September 2020 in several African countries as the Toyota Starlet.[6]
The word "baleno" means "lightning" in Italian.[7]

Facelift
The facelifted Baleno was launched first in India on 28 January 2019.[13] Suzuki redesigned the Baleno’s exterior with remodeled front bumper with new grille design and new 16-inch alloy wheels design with dual-tone colour. The interior also upgraded with a dual-tone black-and-blue colour scheme.[13] The interior noise and ride comfort are also improved.[19]
The facelifted model is not available in Europe, Japan and several other countries, after Suzuki decided to not continue selling Baleno in those markets in 2020 and focused on the more popular Swift.

Markets
Europe
The Baleno was announced first in Italy in December 2015, but the sales was postponed until April 2016.[20][21] European market Baleno is powered by 1.0-litre three-cylinder direct injection turbocharged K10C Boosterjet petrol engine, generating 111 PS (109 hp; 82 kW) and a 1.25-litre four-cylinder dual injectors K12C Dualjet petrol engine, generating 90 PS (89 hp; 66 kW). Mild hybrid variant is also available for the 1.25-litre engine. Due to low sales, the Baleno was discontinued in Europe in 2020.
United Kingdom
The Baleno was launched in the UK in June 2016 with two trim levels; SZ-T and SZ5.[22] The cheaper SZ3 trim was added in April 2017.[23] It was discontinued in August 2019 alongside the Celerio city car.[24]
Asia
India
The Baleno was introduced in India on 26 October 2015.[25] Slots above the Swift, the hatchback was built to maximize interior space while retaining Indian GST structure benefit for vehicles with length dimension under 4 meters and powered by either 1200 cc petrol or 1500 cc diesel engine. The Baleno is exclusively sold through Maruti Suzuki’s premium NEXA outlets across India. The car is available in four trim levels - Sigma, Delta, Zeta and Alpha.
There are three engine options for the Indian model: a four-cylinder 1.2-litre K12M petrol engine that generates 83 PS (82 hp; 61 kW) of power and 114 N⋅m (11.6 kg⋅m; 84 lb⋅ft) of torque, a four-cylinder 1.25-litre Multijet/DDiS 190 diesel engine that generates 75 PS (74 hp; 55 kW) of power and 190 N⋅m (19 kg⋅m; 140 lb⋅ft) of torque, and a three-cylinder turbocharged 1.0-litre K10C Boosterjet engine which is the same engine that is found in the European market Baleno.[26] All the engines get a 5-speed manual as standard, while the K12M engine is offered with a CVT option (initially only available for Delta trim, followed by Zeta in April 2016 and Alpha in August 2017).[27][28] All variants are equipped with dual airbags, ABS and EBD as standard.
A performance variant for Indian market called Baleno RS ("Road Sport") was launched in March 2017.[29] The Baleno RS was first displayed in India as a concept model at the 2016 Auto Expo, alongside the Ignis.[30][31] The styling is almost similar to the 2015 iK-2 concept car. It is powered with a 1.0-litre three-cylinder direct injection Boosterjet turbocharged petrol engine, generating 102 PS (101 hp; 75 kW) and paired with the same 5-speed manual transmission gearbox that was offered in the standard versions of the car. It was also provided with full-black alloy wheels (which was removed in the 2019 upgrade), disc brakes on all wheels (14 inch front and 13 inch rear) and tuned suspension.[32] The Baleno RS was supposed to launch by the end of 2016, but the launches got pushed to the beginning of 2017, due to a lot of pending deliveries for the regular Baleno and the Vitara Brezza and production constraints.
The facelifted regular and RS models were introduced on 28 January 2019.[13] A new model with a 1.2-litre K12N Dualjet dual injector petrol engine with mild hybrid technology which produces 90 PS (89 hp; 66 kW) was launched in April 2019,[33][34] It is only available for Delta and Zeta trims and without CVT option.
The Baleno RS was discontinued in January 2020 after Maruti Suzuki decided not to upgrade the 1.0-litre Boosterjet engine to meet the Bharat Stage 6 emission standards.[35] Despite positive reviews from critics, the Baleno RS was not well received by the market despite multiple price cuts and readily available units at showrooms as compared to a long waiting period for the regular Baleno.[36]
In May 2020, the 1.25-litre turbodiesel engine was discontinued due to stricter emission standards.[37]
By the end of 2021, Maruti Suzuki sold over one million (10 lakh) units of the Baleno.[38]

The Baleno began its sales in Japan on 9 March 2016.[39] Initially, only base model XG with 1.25-litre K12C Dualjet four-cylinder petrol engine was available, followed by the more expensive XT with 1.0-litre K10C Boosterjet three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine in May.[39] In November 2016, the middle trim called XS was added with 1.25-litre engine and XG trim was axed later in December. To gain wider range of customers, the 1.0-litre turbocharged engine was reworked to be able to run with regular petrol octane (89–94 RON) in May 2018.[40] This changes made the engine power and torque dropped from 111 PS (109 hp; 82 kW) and 160 N⋅m (16 kg⋅m; 120 lb⋅ft)[41] to 102 PS (101 hp; 75 kW) and 150 N⋅m (15 kg⋅m; 110 lb⋅ft).[42] In July 2020, Suzuki stopped selling Baleno in Japan.[43]

It is offered in sole GL trim level with a 1.4-litre four-cylinder petrol engine inherited from the Swift, generating 92 PS (91 hp; 68 kW) and 130 N⋅m (13 kg⋅m; 96 lb⋅ft) of torque, paired with either 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission.
