This machine has very simple and therefore reliable units
«Parallel» Suzuki Baleno has been sold in Russia since last year, but this year the price has increased: if in April the minimum price was 1.55 million rubles, now it has increased to 1.9 million rubles. But compared to the domestic flagship Lada Vesta, even this price does not seem high. For example, the Vesta Techno sedan costs 1.8 million rubles (this is according to the official price list), but it does not and will not have an automatic transmission, which the Baleno has. No «automatic» and Lada Vesta Sportline for 2.2 million rubles.
But that’s not all; in terms of equipment, the Japanese car is clearly superior to the domestic one. Already in the simplest versions there is climate control and cruise control (Vesta only has air conditioning, and although cruise control buttons are on the steering wheel, they do not work), an all-round viewing system, all-LED lighting, heated front seats, and a projection screen .
Suzuki Baleno is equipped with a simple 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine producing 105 hp. with distributed injection and cast iron cylinder block.
