AutoExec Summary
The 2021 Suzuki Baleno GLX, priced at $18,990, serves as a competent budget hatchback with a 1.4L four-cylinder engine, 68kW power, and 130Nm torque. It offers decent space, a 355L boot, and a 7.0-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. However, it lacks advanced safety features like autonomous emergency braking and has no ANCAP rating. While it handles urban driving well, it’s less suited for freeways. Its simplicity and affordability make it a viable second car, though not a standout in the sub-$20K segment.
