Maruti Baleno Facelift Drive Impressions - Less Power But More Drivable | Faisal Khan

Who all miss the old K-series engine?

I'm just glad I bought it early and got the 4 cylinder engine

I had seen Suzuki and Gillette check-in in a OYO hotel 9 months ago!

Front end of the car looks like someone sliced it through the sword parallely

A new car that feels old than the older generation 😭

High time they change the interiors of their cars, every Maruti interior feels the same!

It's weird that India gets the 1.2l while South Africa gets the 1.5l K15B engine. Both are made in India

Meanwhile the sales team earlier about 3 cylinder 🤡 vs now 🥷🏻

12:23 bro have a chill pill 😂

I don't understand the reviewers obsession with LEDs in the taillights and Indicators. I mean on expensive cars I agree, If you are paying premium money then you should get the premium equipment. But on budget cars I would much rather have halogens as they are easily replaceable and cheap to change too, where as LEDs are expensive to replace. A LED taillight would cost anywhere from 2000-3000 or even more to replace depending on the car, but an halogen bulb you could get for less than 200-300 Rs. And halogens are good enough on the illumination side, I agree they are also prone to more failures than LEDs but if I am buying a budget car I would also expect the repairs to be a bit budget friendly.

Tbh Most People buy the Baleno for the Features and Suzuki's Reliability and Service Network. And this time it would sell more than ever with all the segment first feature. People who knows the value of the K-Series engine will miss it but that portion of people is actually quite a small percentage. Most buyers buys baleno for premiumness and Mileage which the new Baleno will definitely attract more buyers now. Sad to see K-Series go but if Suzuki won't meet Emission Norms then Baleno like hatchbacks would be stopped completely.

Saying again this car needs 1.0L boosterjet 📈🚀

Old baleno still looks better than the new one. But the interior of the new one is better then the old one

13:55. The hell with the spresso pro Max man 😂😂😂😂😂

I still have the 2016 full option alpha petrol and it's design is still looking better than whatever they have done to it. Even the interiors are still good.

Far better than a sleepy Hyundai 1.2 kappa 4 cylinder

Even when polo was on sale it could never outsell maruti

even if this one is bttr. istill like the old one man. man i saw this baleno once in silver color with no mods, pure stock stock , straight out of the factory look. It was like the car had low tire pressure and was low to the ground. It was coming slowly and looked like a heavy car; it looked so daymm cool to me. ive been a fan ever since.

Suzuki’s AMT technology has come a long way—moving from crude solenoid actuators to precise electro-hydraulic systems. Paired with the PB03A 1.5L strong-hybrid setup, it proves what the transmission is capable of. Mating that refined architecture with the Z12 engine for India would have been an absolute game-changer. ​Instead, Maruti is leaning into a Z12-based series hybrid setup. All they need to do is benchmark a Toyota Raize or Daihatsu Rocky (which run a similar 1.2L 3-cylinder series-hybrid system) to realize it’s strictly an urban commuter and a pathetic all-rounder once you hit the open highway. Despite Maruti accounting for more than half of Suzuki's global footprint, it’s frustrating to watch them treat the Indian market like a technology graveyard.

Should get 1.0 ltr boosterjet as an option
