2016 Suzuki Baleno

[FiestaST]

This is the new Baleno hatch.

"Suzuki is not releasing much in the way of information ahead of its Frankfurt Motor Show debut scheduled for mid-September, but the company does mention that a brand new 1-litre direct injection turbopetrol engine will be offered."

Looks dated...

I agree. Looks like a cross between the old Nissan Qashqai (front) and the Hyundai IX35 (side profile).

I saw this in Braamfontein last week. Looks better in flesh.

What do you mean saw; it's only to be unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

Unless you mean a heavily camouflage test car?

"The Baleno features the 1.0 BOOSTERJET engine, which has a maximum output of 82kW and a maximum torque of 170Nm."

The back reminds me of a Chevrolet Cruz. That's not a good thing.

Why do people always say stupid things like this.

It looks like 90% of other vehicals out there. Why is it ugly ? are you going to try have sex with the exhaust ?

Because its ugly (Like most of their cars.) compared to other 2016 vehicles? Only one's that look very decent are the Vitara and Swift.

In fact - I said the same thing on a thread covering the launch of the Jimny locally 7/8 years ago...

If something is not ugly - do you usually have sex with it?

Besides ugly it actually looks "dated" for a 2016 model. Again IMO
