The Suzuki Baleno has been sneakily revealed (in side profile only) ahead of the Frankfurt motor show next month. The Baleno is a follow up from the iK-2 Concept shown at last year’s Geneva motor show. No official details have been announced regarding the Baleno apart from that it is a compact car. Suzuki has loads of compact cars already with Splash, Celerio and Swift all considered compact. The Baleno’s size in concept form was 4023mm long and 1920mm high, suggesting it may be more VW Golf sized. The Baleno will also feature Suzuki’s new 1.0-Litre turbo engine, which it comically calls BOOSTERJET direct injection turbocharging. The engine will compete with other tiny turbos in power and efficiency so expect between 60 and 90 kW with torque between 140 Nm and 180 Nm. More details will be officially revealed when the car takes to the stage at the Frankfurt motor show, where Cars.co.za will be reporting from live. Meanwhile, watch this short video on the Baleno.
