- The Suzuki Baleno is one of the go-to hatchbacks for our Indian consumer because of its amazing fuel efficiency, spacious interiors and because it's easy to maintain. But, Suzuki had come out with a performance oriented version of the Baleno called the Baleno RS and it sported the 1.0L Turbo 3-Cylinder engine called the Booster Jet! This was the first car to get such an engine and in fact, VW's Polo 1.0 TSI and the Hyundai i20 N-Line have actually followed the Baleno RS' footsteps. Want to know why you should buy the Baleno RS, watch the whole video to find out!
Boosterjet 1.0 was not the first car with a 1.0gdi engine, it was ecoboost 1.0 on the ecosport. It was available in India since 2013. It is still the most powerful 1.0 gdi on paper.
Hot hatchback ** he said
Ecosport was the best hatchback I knew then😌
This booster jet engine is making a comeback in Baleno crossover SUV called 'Fronx'. I hope it becomes a more tuner friendly engine this time around. It'll also have better mileage as it is coming with hybrid system too.
Finnally someone did video on this underatted car ❤️
What the RS desperately needed was a good suspension tune. Get a good coil over kit (like Blitz or Tien) and the magic will unfold. You will find that you actually do not need an iota more of power to enjoy this car. Also what was not said in the video is that this has rear disc brakes as well.
Actually it's Ecosport that started 3cyl turbo in India. And around world to in a lot of markets.
Its not 3 cylinder trend, its 3 CYLINDER EPIDEMIC. Just can't tolerate the clatter odd cylinders make. I prefer 4 cylinder santro engine over this anyday.
Very true bud! I own 1.0 TSI Polo and when I drove 1.2 GT it was such a good when it comes to vibration and feel.. no doubt 1.0 is a good performance engine but 1.2 was the one which really makes damn good feeling
@@iamjkjay do you wanna sell it?😶🌫️

@@iamjkjay but it can match with performance of 1.0 tsi
@@adithyam9313 yes anyday!
Practically N LINE King of Market in terms of Performance Features & Great looks if you go for Stary Night Color.
Ask Maruti to develop a 4 cylinder turbo charged small engine to get edge over rivals.
And it has slight exhaust note as well, even when bone stock ❤️
FORD ECO BOOST ENGINE IN THE FORD ECO SPORT WAS THE FIRST 3CYL TURBO CHARHGED 1.0 LITRE ENGINE INTRODUCED IN 2012 - 2013
There is one Baleno RS rusting behind my society. Owner actually died in Covid sadly so just sitting from years like it has been abandoned
Buy it from their relatives and mod it to hell
Are they selling it??
Ya bro it was a nice car
But people tough it was overpriced maruti
Bro, I think you know grand i10 Nios turbo. Which has same engine of i20 n line and puts 20 less hp but same amount of torque as i20 (100hp & 172nm) and also weighs almost 100 kg lighter than i20 n line. Mainly it has proper manual transmission. This is also stopped production, bought somehow we got the the new one as it was in stock Pune. I'm from Bengaluru, this flies compare i20 n line. I drove i20 n line dct but this feels much more faster than i20 and in 0-100 it has slightly faster time than polo as well.
iMT is good as well for people who know how to use it
@@venf41t27 Ya, It may be good but it can't match the feel and control you would get over a Proper Manual.
@@manojsinghs4839 Right
How come Baleno RS has more space than I20 Nline?
Exactly that car is widest and longest wheel base in the segment, sometimes these people really over exaggerate a little bit by not doing good research.
kuch bhi bolte hain yeh log
Some kind of wizardry space management by maruti.....yes it has more space than an i20.
@@souravsagar8371 in Baleno if 3 people sit there is problem of shoulder room , which is not in case of i20. You can verify this.
Baleno has more leg room than i20, I have both
Let the customer decide about the performance. Don't try to exaggerate.
I have driven this car and it really sucks it has terrible driving dynamics.
1. Abarth Punto
2. VW Polo GT
3. Abarth Urban Cross
4. I20 N line
5. Fiat Palio S10
These are the top 5 hot hatches who were and are budget friendly.
Baleno RS doesn't have a chance to be even there or considered in this list.
Abarth Punto is the king
Can't argue with this list honestly
I20 nline is best handling in segment u drive and thrill the fun with paddle shifters
I2o nline dct gear box initial lag but cross 2000 rpm puchy power 💥
@@harisreesanth620 Then you haven't driven Abarth Punto or the VW Polo GT. They are still the kings of this segment. I would put the I20 N Line behind the Palio S10 and that's the reason why no one sells these cars.
Raced her against my 1.5 diesel Logan. She's quick but doesn't go that fast literally my Logan was slaying her for the whole highway
What is a logan?
What abt rear disc brakes...?
Ford aspire diesel titanium 2017 (2nd owner) 55k km driven- 3.70lakh. it has 2 airbags.
Problem- Steering is not coming to its original centre position after turning( what would be the cost to repair it?) And one tire is not good.
Is it good deal?
Or Honda jazz s diesel 2016 2nd owner-50k km driven. Asking price-3.50lakh
I have an RS and am driving it daily since the past 5 years & believe me the mileage is between 13-14in the city, and yes on highway it definitely gives a mileage around 18. 21 is overated bro, u wont see that kind off mileage.
Ford's ecoboost 1.0 was the first 3 cyl turbo charged mass produced car in India.
Come u guys this car is 6 years old , it’s an amazing car
Actually it was ford who introduced 1L turbo petrol first time with the Ecosport.
Everything he says in the video is true about the car.......the only downside of this car is the suspension tune.....damn does this car likes to roll,float,squat and dive...........a set of wider rubbers and a suspension tune would make this a hoot to drive.
Plz make video on Tiago jtp
what do you think about cross polo's
Well you guys clearly don't know about the Ford's ecoboost engine
Can you do a video on Figo s the diesel pocket rocket
I drive a 2020 Figo 1.2.
Its a fun car to drive... Sadly (or happily) it's stilll in Warranty until 2025.
Are there engine remaps available in the market for Ford 1.2. I need a little more torque and I am good
Baleno rs engine was good the baleno car is light weight due to which you don’t get confidence like vw and ford at high speeds. Moreover the suspension of baleno was not that great.
Audio issues are permanant....
I Have one.
Must be regretting?
My gt 1.2 tsi dsg gives 15-16 Knol in city with AC💪
Doesn’t the new fronx has that engine?
Yes it does
But if you look closely it has 2 PS less power and 2 Nm less torque and not to forget that fronx is around 65 to 80 kgs heavier than the Baleno RS and it's also going to be less aerodynamic too!!
@@arkaprabhamondal4441 BS6 norms really affect the tune and output
But hope that crossover sells well and we get the 1.0 tune in india
The one litre turbocharged engine trend was started by Ecosport
Was searching for this comment
definitely youve forgotten about TIago jtp
Maruti shud offer built on demand..for the enthusiasts..it can match Polo gti
MT >> over anything *Period*
You definitely forgot Tiago JTP, Altroz i-Turbo.....Or purposefully left....???
Bro JTP can be considered although I tried taking a test drive of that car many times but I never got one because it never came to Showrooms in Indore and Bhopal as far as ik. It was really short lived. And to be frank a 1.2 NA Baleno would defeat an I-turbo Altroz!
Yes...agreed JTP was very short lived....
But N.A. Baleno and Altroz i-turbo...nope....
@@gautamkurkute8826 I have driven both that’s why I am saying. When Baleno is launched from 0kmph at 4k rpm and that too with minimal wheel spin (using clutch extensively) then it does a great job in 0-100 part. But the thing is Altroz I-turbo has a turbo which gives it an edge in ingear acceleration, while NA baleno needs to be kept over 2.5-3k rpm to gain the most power out of it….
Wrong first 1L 3Cylinder starts ford ecosport 1L ecoboost
I think ford turbojet was first 3cylinder turbo engine much before beleno, Beleno driving dynamics was pathetic ,after 100 car will not be under your control
This man really shat on DCT huh
What about 1 litre ecoboost peeps?
yeh log nayi nayi discontinued gaadiyan nikalte hain daily basis pe, just to compare to N line. Kitna virgin view hai aapka.
i have owned baleno rs real review is,
its totally waste of money for me personally i will not pay such a huge amount just for performance secondly its mileage as it is a performance based engine i could not get more than 10 km/pl even after a smmoth driving and on the highway it may give around 15-16
Very poor steering response hard suspension
Thirdly and the important point its maintenance is 5x of normal petrol baleno and when it come to part replacement be ready to empty your pockets and also you will not get the spares easily once car gone to workshop for replacement it's not returning to home within 2-3 days i would rate this car 2.5 out of 5
its much better now to maintain as the boosterjet is not made in India, for eg. a baleno rs oil filter costs 860rs but the same filter for the indian version costs 80 rs only.
the Fronx with this engine is muchhh better in terms of all the things you mentioned as well.
Polo still owns them
I have one 🙂
Your sarcastic smile reveals the pain in your heart i can understand as i too own it
it feels fun because it weights 800kg (shitty tin box)
No its not
Polo for the win 💪

why is this kid calling the IMT a crappy transmission in all his videos? IMT is the best transmission available for Indian conditions and this kid seems unaware of this calling 1.0 litre engine car hot hatch. 😆🤣
Mate 😂, these cars are the closest things to "hot hatches" we can get in India, and I think have elaborated that pretty well. Moreover, you aren't a real enthusiast if you think the iMT is a good transmission. It's literally the worst sort of transmission. You don't get the satisfaction of changing gears nor do you get the quick shifts of an auto. You're just lazy and ignorant if you get the iMT.
@@SohamSaraf Bro, I would have agreed with you if Hyundai had given an imt transmission in their 'i20 N'. i20 N line is not a hot hatch, neither does Hyundai claim it to be a hot hatch. Its a sporty looking family car made for day to day driving on streets. Just because companies doesn't give their real hot hatches in India doesn't mean we can call it a hot hatch or pass judgements based on that. See it for what it is and what it is made for. Yes manual transmission is a better pick, but at what cost ?
The city traffic is absolutely on it's peak throughout the day, people spending 10 lakhs on a car then going for therapy to fix knee joints after driving in city traffic, instead the IMT was introduced to reduce the cost of an automated transmission so that even a person on low budget can afford the convenience and luxury of an automatic.
Neither you are nor am i a NASCAR professional driver that we need a downshift or upshift on the blink of an eye. Try to keep up with the technology and research that the car makers are investing for their customers to make their driving experience wonderful. The IMT transmission has been designed according to the ideal driving habits that one should have even while driving a manual transmission. Btw IMT can be faster than DCT. See this for proof www.zigwheels.com/news-features/news/hyundai-venue-turbo-imt-vs-manual-gearbox-vs-dct-performance-fuel-efficiency-compared/39602/#leadform.
Autocar India test results also show that i20 imt is faster than i20 DCT
Car companies should make only automatic cars so that people stop complaining about knee pain and so that they can make their cars even pricier
@@thurules Bhai iMT is very good even if you're looking for hot hatch performance, it's just a matter of mastery. I'd pick iMT over DCT anyday plus he is shitting on iMT too much
Comparing Pappu with our PM Narendra Modi ji is not as insult to just Modi ji but to everyone on this planet!
Same way, for the love of humanity, please don't compare Baleno to Polo 🙏
Brother I love Polo but your comment doesn’t really make any sense. Baleno RS is a great alternative to Polo GT. I know it because our family has both these cars and I have driven them extensively.
@@iSVX1103 My only question to you!
Will you drive Baleno with your family in highways? I won't 🙏
It's never about drive quality but built quality. We are not in GTA multiverse where cheat codes will never get you killed or comes with unlimited life! We just got one and can't risk driving this piece of junk. Hope you understand my point of view 🙏
@@deepaksahariaify Yeah I got that point. I thought you were talking about the performance and enthusiasm offered by Baleno RS… I wish MS gave Baleno a better build quality which would have increased its safety ratings as well as the driving dynamics too🙌🏻
@@iSVX1103 We can't blame engineers working day and night on performance but we need balance with built quality and performance. VW Polo is 4* rated and not 5* but it's the combination of built and performance which does the magic and both cost similar. Anyways, Suzuki decided to completely neglect built and I don't even consider MS. Not even short listed and this is after owning MS 800 and the very first WagonR which came to India. Hope this changes and I'll definitely reconsider. Now I'm owning a VW Taigun Topline AT and really not happy with cost cuttings done.
Well, you are right about some part of it. Comparing pappu with mass murderer from 2002 is surely an insult.
Plastic engine haha
People extracted 27km/l to 30km/l on polo tsi,videos are posted on youtube.
27-30 kml is not an everyday fuel economy for a polo tsi… i drive an polo tsi and I roughly get around 10-11 kmpl in normal city conditions…(not heavy traffic) on highway if i drive the car on 70kmph i get 25+ but thats only for certain kms after that it starts to drop off also if you drive the car on highway on 90-100 u get 15-16 which is good but Maruti suzuki cars just give better fuel eco
Hi Saatvik! Interestingly enough, we have done two thorough tests on fuel economy on a stock 1.0 TSI AT and a Stage 2 1.0 GT TSI. Both videos will come out very soon but the thing with the TSIs is that, those numbers are unicorns. You can extract those numbers in very specific conditions and only on wide open highways. In the city, 1.0 TSI drinks fuel like no one's business and that's where the Baleno RS shines. It is fuel economical throughout, maybe it's peak isn't as high as the TSI but the lows aren't low either.
@@yashharmalkar5929 of course marutis are known for fuel economy i agree,i too drive polo gt tsi,my car is used for highway touring,clocked 24k kms in one year and am very happy with my car,yes fe drops once you floor it but when you are cruising at 80-90 km/hr its very pocket friendly and secondly the tank like build is missing in rs😜
@@TheDriversHub waiting for the video 🤙🏻
@@saatviksharma13 ikr... Biggest problem I face with polo is it's tough to drive on a cruising speed. ।always end up pulling the car because it's so much fun 🥺 then end up with 5-6 fe and yet do the same again🙂
