- In the late 1990's Maruti launched the Baleno to take on the Honda City and Mitsubishi Lancer which were ruling the roost till then.
The Baleno was initially misunderstood and underestimated, and saw limited success compared to the other two. Soon after , people realized what this car had to offer, and things started looking up for this lil gem. Do tune in to learn about the Baleno in detail!

We owned a Blue Suzuki Baleno in UK around 2007-09 period. It was a very simple car and so easy to drive and handle... It was one of our last two cars there before we left that country.. Your video polished some memories associated with that car....Cheers..!
Was waiting this for a long time"BALENO 1.6" The G16b magic 🔥🔥🔥
വണ്ടി സൂപ്പർ ആണ്...ഹൈവേ ഡ്രൈവ് നല്ല സുഖം ആണ്, overtaking ഓക്കേ ഈസി ആയി ചെയ്യാം. കുലുക്കം അറിയുക പോലും ഇല്ല...ആകെ പ്രശ്നം ഗ്രൗണ്ട് ക്ലിയറൻസ്, milage, ഇൻഷുറൻസ് എമൗണ്ട് , ഹെഡ്‌ലൈറ്റ് ത്രോ.. പാർട്സ് കിട്ടാൻ താമസം ഉണ്ട്, replacement അധികം ചെയ്യേണ്ട ആവശ്യം വന്നിട്ടില്ല... ബോണറ്റിൽ തേങ്ങ വീണിട്ട് പോലും ചെറിയ ഒരു ഡെൻ്റ് ഉണ്ടായിട്ടുള്ളൂ, അത്രക് ഹെവി മെറ്റൽ ആണ്... ബലേനോ ❤️❤️
Love the way of explaining the details in a simple form but technically strong. Probably not seen even few specialist does it.
Thank you !
I love those rubber gear lever covers which maruthi cars had those times...
Ritz also has the same*
Another great episode!! As JD mentioned, when it first came out it didn't look that good but now it looks really cool. Also some very good camera shots of the car driven through the woods, looks like poor JD had to get into the woods with the camera while Vivekji was ripping it through the beautiful road 😀.

I bought Baleno 1.6 2006 an year back. Didn't had much ideas about cars. But started loving my rides after it. Still loving it. Such an amazing engine with awesome driving experience. And I'm very proud to own a Baleno. And feeling lucky to have one at least this early😉
And Thanks for giving this video as a tribute. Loved it. ❤️
what is the mileage?
@@tharakeshs6152 Actually it depends on your mood to drive.😅 Generally, If I drive thinking that mileage is important, I'll get 11.5 KMPL(City) 13.5(Highways) with full AC . . At the same time, My worst Mileage is 9 KMPL(City) 11 KMPL(Highways) with full AC. *Note: You'll get 1.5 - 2 km additional with AC turned off
@@tharakeshs6152 But It is really fun to drive. Even the hydraulic steering that 1.6 Engine grunts, amazing cornering due to the weight of SGP, that'll give you a extreme feel of riding some car that is not any car.
thankyou for the response 👍🏼

Baleno is my first car.. It was like love at first sight..
Driving it for more than 2 years... Its just amazing..its 1600 cc engine is so powerful..By design prospective it may feel outdated but its a features rich car..
Its AC, Rear defogger, Electric adjusted ORVM and even high adjusted seat belt makes you realize that this car was way ahead of this time..
Honestly, I love this more than the OHC VTEC. Anyone with me?
Me
I second you in this aspect.
It may look simple and gentle car but its a 1600 cc beast .. After driving it its a perfect car to fall in love
Sorry, not with you
Yes it is the best choice
Ok..now I'm gonna kick start my afternoon with this video!!
Please make a video on Maruthi Suzuki Then vs Now
First swift vs new swift 😅
@@ameenmuhammad1655 Apart from Raw feel, New Swift is better than old Swift in every possible way.
@@nsyoutubemedia Nope. It's not percentage, Maruti sold 32k units, Hyundai sold 24K, Kia sold 10k, total 34k. Reason for this sale is Maruti suzuki is the only manufacturer to shutdown the manufacturing facility in May to produce Oxygen for Covid-19. During this period Maruti Suzuki launched multi-speciality hospital at Sitapur Gujarat..May sales won't tell the whole story, check the sales figure of April, 8 out of 10 are MS cars, they are the market leader in india with 50% market share.
@@nsyoutubemedia Teambhp links says, what I said. Hyundai group sold 2k cars more than Maruti in 2021 May that's it, that too with this circumstances. May2021 top seller is Creta with only around 6k, April top-selling car is selling around 20k..this doesn't mean Hyundai takes leadership over Maruti, no one gained percentage over previous month's. Maruti was and is the Market leader in India.
@@nsyoutubemedia You have to argue with valid points. hyundai has 17.1% market share total. Whereas Maruti has over 45% total. No way an manufacturer can beat MS in one month figure, that too covid situation..All the details are here to read www.team-bhp.com/forum/indian-car-scene/236626-april-2021-indian-car-sales-figures-analysis.html
This is the best looking Baleno I have ever seen. Nice taste Vivekji. 👌🏽
Thank you😊

My friend having a 2004 baleno vxi, gives so engaging drive, yes the sgp parts are very expensive as it having a independent suspension at rear, the bumpers , headlights .. but because it is maruti some outside maruti workshops here in tvm will do this job for affordable price and parts are also somehow available or can be sorted from some total lossed cars or cars taken for engine swap , the car is very beautiful to drive and the engine is torquier if we are cruising at higher gears if we give a sudden tap the engine will respond and also the 2nd gear pull upto 110 may be because car weights below 1000 kg, i think this engine has some features like air pre heater something like that which will help while overtaking i don't remember that exact name, the car is lengthier but we won't feel that length while inside cabin but struggle while reverse parking as the side mirrors don't give that much view, also need to take care while going through bumps may hear some underbody scrapping, when madly driven we can see the fuel gauge dropping quickly better not to calculate mileage at that time, nowadays in roads can see some well maintained clean stock baleno's not much abused by freakanmar as they are behind modifying existing v-tec's , it would be nice if you included more videos of rushing in twisty roads to see its planted handling like need a video itself for that with background having only engine note
I have seen this baleno on another channel, great content. I have 2 balenos. Loved those G16B
How much mileage giving ur Baleno in city and highway
@@atheeqpasha5078 city 10 to 11
Highway 14 to 15 maximum

One of the best review video from you. Mentioned the technical aspects with bit of humor. This what the standard of review videos be. Compared to your other videos which are 30-40 mins long this was just 20min, I finally manged to finish watching the whole video. Keep it up, 🤘🏼

Hi Vishnu can you share your number please .. need to ask some query on Baleno 2005
ആദ്യമായി ഈ car കാണുന്നത്‌ Readers Digest ന്റെ ഒരു കോമ്പറ്റിഷൻ ൽ ആണ്.. വർഷങ്ങൾക്ക് മുൻപ്.. അവരുടെ first prize ആയിട്ട് Baleno ആയിരുന്നു.. ആ സമയത്ത് അവർ വലിയ wallpaper ഒക്കെ അയച്ചു തന്നിരുന്നു.. ഇപ്പൊ അതൊക്കെ നൊസ്റ്റു ആയി.. Nice Review 👌👌.. Sx4 കഴിഞ്ഞാൽ എനിക്ക് ഏറ്റവും ഇഷ്ടം ഉള്ള വണ്ടി Baleno ആണ് ♥️♥️..

I actually didn't like the styling when I first saw one. I preferred the looks of the esteem. But over the years, this design has grown on me
Hi i am proud to inform that i own baleno vxi since aug 2004 I was using spairingly once in 6 months for one month as i was abroad. So far i hv not come across with any breakdown or accidents or any parts replacements except consumables. I love this car although i now own a new merc and another maruti celerio vxi amt 2014 then newly introduced. Still i love baleno n wl not part with n keeping in my fleet.

Great video guys... Took me back to days when Baleno was my fav car😂
I remember my uncle bringing in a Rented Baleno VXI as backup car after his swift being in an accident.
Both my cousins were too excited and blabbered a lot about the car which 10 year old me didn't understand.
A small drive in the car with Uncle and cousins gave me a unique sensation which i never experienced in other cars.
But thats all i needed to have that car in my mind as my most favorite car, which i craved to drive in future
When i finally drove the LXI varient in my 20s The skinny tyres and poorly maintained condition shattered my expectations about how Baleno would have felt to drive.
I wish i could come across a well maintained Baleno in near future.
There is no replacement for displacement .Baleno 1.6 🔥
I own a Suzuki Baleno/Esteem Wagon in the Philippines. I hope, your video would come with an english subtitle so I can fully undertand your video. By the way nice rolling shot 🙏
P.S. what is your steering wheel came from the suzuki cars?

Ford Mondeo is a forgotten car I guess so , bros can u do a review of that car 😁😁
A beat up Baleno is also seen in the famous show "Better Call Saul". It is the previous gen boxy car and it's know as the Esteem there. I noticed that the Baleno we got in India has the same rear design as the previous gen boxy Baleno.
Yes!
G16B ❤️ Baleno 🔥
What a coincidence it is!! I was listening to your video while driving back to my home and I saw an estate.. I got wondered because it's the first time I saw an estate in person.

We viewers will be happy if u bring Grand vitara also. It was an amazing engine. Few days back I heard the ignition sound of an Grand vitara, seemed like an electric car.
They spoilt a Baleno in the malayalam movie Chunkzz 😖
Your love for such cars should be appreciated. Keep making such informative videos. If possible please review Ford Fusion.
We will try to do this
Great video guys! Especially found VivekG's thrifty maintenance tips cool👍
I remember seeing the Baleno abroad in the late 90s along with the Swift (Esteem) Hatchback. It used to be really cool to see cars sold in India abroad back then. How the times have changed, now we have most cars from abroad available here!
I think the viewers would also enjoy VivekG's previous video on this car as much as I did - ruclips.net/video/KTG9joN33yg/видео.html
Awesome... Awesome... Really enjoyed each and every bit.... Hatsoff to vivek jee for maintaining this car like this... Please bring back the stock steering wheel back that will be good. Also eagerly waiting for the old schools like Esteem , City VTEC n 1.3 , Lancer , Tata Sierra , n all

I had an old wagon R. The radiator cap was an SGP. It costs around 450₹ compared to MGP which costs 120₹
Can use Toyota qualis
Yes, Better call Saul സീരീസിൽ നായകൻ കൊണ്ടു നടക്കുന്നത് ഒരു പൊളിഞ്ഞ esteem ആണ്, which shows his financial situation as well.
Baleno is a gem... But you all forgot about another sedan at that time.. the Hyundai 1.5 Accent CRDI !!! Had 4 powered windows, powered antennas, and that pleasant looks!!! Above all, add a nice looking spoiler and a good set of wheels, it'll be hot AF.

Another unsung hero💝🔥
Baleno is one of the best looking cars by suzuki , Very immersive road grip too.
And if I am not wrong baleno kk oru Awd varient indarnu sadly not available in indian(as usual ). But athinde awd is a bolt on part some one onwns and runs a awd baleno in north India .the whole awd conversion cost about 1.5- 2 lkh (imported parts) And can be bolted on to it ! Which makes it one of a kind car! And good tuning potential too !
Woww

Baleno has one of the best high torque in the category. You can skim the power between 3 and 4 gear.City 1.6 had a tough fight with this. It has four struts I think for suspension and Moreover the design is such that it keen centre of gravity to the lowest and improved the ride quality beyond imagination.. 👍
Only regret till date , selling our Baleno which was and still is a good car and miss clipping it along old Kawdiar roads. Good old days.
