The vehicle follows a 'Liquid Flow' design theme that is suggestive of an energetic mass of liquid in motion and permeates throughout, articulated by curving lines and expressive surfaces. It has a low and wide silhouette that helps underline an elegant sporty look. The cabin seats five people with generous shoulder room in front and legroom in the rear, and has a boot space of 355 ltrs. Interior highlights include an advanced multi-information colour display, adaptive cruise control with speed limiter and a Smartphone Linkage Display Audio compatible with Apple CarPlay. It also has Radar Brake Support and other comprehensive safety features.

The Baleno would be available in three powertrains which offer excellent fuel economy: the new 1.0 BOOSTERJET direct-injection turbo engine with high torque output; 1.2 DUALJET engine; and SHVS (Smart Hybrid Vehicle by Suzuki) with 1.2 DUALJET engine.
