Seems like a rather competent car but oh so dull looks. Very good standard spec in the UK.
Local versions get no touchscreen system...

I haven't viewed all the attachments.
At first only the 1.4 will be available, which is common knowledge.
I think that the 1 litre turbo is a long, long way away for South Africa.
Perhaps the 1.4 Swift will fall away and be replaced by the Baleno.

New Suzuki Baleno arrives in SA: here’s how much…
The new Suzuki Baleno has arrived in South Africa, priced from a whisker under R200 000, with the likes of the Volkswagen Polo, Ford Fiesta and Renault Clio firmly in its sights.
The local Baleno hatchback range comprises three derivatives, with the range-topper coming in at around R245 000.
So, where does this new model fit into the Japanese automaker’s local line-up? Well, the Baleno slots in just above the slightly smaller Swift hatchback (it’s some 87 mm longer), although it may end up replacing the 1,4-litre Swift models altogether, leaving the Indian-built 1,2-litre variants to soldier on.
At launch, the new Baleno – which is also produced in India and runs on an all-new platform – is powered by the brand’s familiar K14B 1,4-litre, naturally aspirated petrol engine, which already does duty in the local Swift, Ertiga and Ciaz line-ups. Although not yet confirmed, a 1,0-litre, three-cylinder mill (dubbed Boosterjet, which we sampled on the international launch) may well arrive at a later date. Dependent, as ever, on exchange rates.
The free-breathing, 1,4-litre four-pot makes 68 kW at 6 000 r/min and 130 N.m at 4 200 r/min. Local buyers have the choice of two gearboxes: a five-speed manual and a four-speed automatic transmission.
Suzuki says models fitted with the manual gearbox are capable of accelerating from 0-100 km/h in 10,9 seconds, before topping out at 180 km/h. The automatic model takes 11,6 seconds to hit three figures, before running out of puff at 170 km/h. The automaker claims an average fuel consumption of 5,1 L/100 km for the manual, and 5,4 L/100 km for the automatic.
Two trim levels are on offer: the entry-level GL and the better-equipped GLX, the latter available with either the manual or automatic transmission.
GLX variants feature model-specific headlamps (with HID projector elements and LED daytime running lights), fog-lamps, plenty of chrome-effect exterior trim, a rear spoiler, 16-inch alloys (the GL makes do with 15-inch steel wheels), a 6,2-inch TFT colour screen, a leather-trimmed steering wheel, cruise control, rear parking sensors and keyless starting.
All models come standard with ABS with EBD, although the GL employs drums at the rear (the GLX has discs all round). Dual front airbags are standard, too, although GLX models add side and curtain airbags, taking the total to six. Other standard safety features include IsoFix child seat anchors and an alarm/immobiliser system.
A four-year or 60 000 km service plan is also included with intervals of 15 000 km.
Pricing:
Suzuki Baleno 1,4 GL: R199 900
Suzuki Baleno 1,4 GLX: R229 900
Suzuki Baleno 1,4 GLX (auto): R244 900

Local models miss out on two fronts:
1) No local engine options of the new 1L T Boosterjet motor
2) Overseas models get a fairly good 7" infotainment system that includes CarPlay & AA. Top local models only get an aftermarket 6.2" Pioneer system.
--------------------------------------------------------
Launched in SA: new Suzuki Boleno
After making its world debut at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show, the new Suzuki Baleno will go on sale in South Africa in November 2016.
The Baleno will be offered in two specification grades, says Suzuki. The more affordable GL spec level is offered in conjunction with the manual gearbox only, while the GLX versions can be ordered with either five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmissions.
The new Baleno is covered by a standard three-year or 100 000km warranty, as well as a four-year or 60 000km service plan. Services are at 15 000km or 12-month intervals.
Engine and transmission
The Suzuki Baleno is powered by a 1.4-litre engine that produces 68kW/130Nm.
Both manual gearbox derivatives accelerate from 0-100km/h in 10.9 seconds and onto a top speed of 180km/h, while the single automatic model boasts figures of 11.6sec and a top speed of 170 km/h.
Average fuel consumption for the combined cycle comes to 5.1-litres/100km for the manual models, and 5.4-litres/100 km for the automatic.
Specifications: Baleno GL
Standard exterior features include colour-coded exterior mirrors and door handles, blacked out A and B-pillars, multi-reflector halogen headlights, and green-tinted windows.
The Baleno GL runs on 15” steel wheels with full wheel covers. The spare wheel is a space saver, located under the luggage compartment floor.
The driver’s seat is height-adjustable, while the rear bench seat is split 60:40 and can be folded flat individually or completely.
Electric windows front and rear are standard, as is manual air-conditioning with a pollen filter, remote central locking, and electrically adjustable exterior mirrors, says Suzuki.
The audio system comprises an MP3-compatible CD player, Bluetooth, USB compatibility, a 3.5mm auxiliary input, and a 12V power socket.
Specifications: Baleno GLX
The GLX specification grade offers everything on the GL list, but with some notable additions and upgrades, says the automaker.
The headlights feature HID projector elements and LED daytime running lights. Additional exterior features include chrome-finished door handles and chrome tailgate garnish, while the tailgate features a roof-end spoiler.
GLX models are fitted with 16” alloys.
Inside, a 6.2” TFT colour screen sits in the centre of the dashboard and a 4.2” colour screen relays info to the driver. The steering wheel features a leather-trimmed rim, and is adjustable for both reach and rake.
Also available is fully automatic air-conditioning and rear park distance control.
The luggage compartment is 355 litres for both models with the rear bench seat raised, and can be extended to 756 litres with the rear seated folded flat.
