I realise that, by now, this comparison has probably been done a hundred times. Still, here’s my take on the differences between these cars and a few more considerations before you sign on the dotted line.
Baleno
Launched: 2022 Suzuki Baleno
The Suzuki Baleno has for long been the dark horse of the hatchback segment. There are several reasons as to why this Maruti product is so popular and why other manufacturers are even looking at incorporating this into their own product line. Now, the Japanese manufacturer has once again launched the latest version of the new Baleno.

Comparison: Suzuki Baleno vs Toyota Starlet
It had to be done. I’m sure it’s already been done a couple of times but when two near-identical cars pitched up in my driveway, and less than a month apart, I simply had to compose this comparative review.

The darkest horse of them all
The Suzuki Baleno was introduced into the Southern-African market in 2016 and while it has not created many waves since, we at NamWheels believe it to be the other way around. Why look away from a car with outstanding fuel consumption, massive amounts of space, a reliable engine, and a B-segment price, even if it challenges the price offering of most C-segment cars?

Een Baleno (Bah-leno) asseblief!
Die nuwe Suzuki Baleno het in 2016 op Suid-Afrikaanse grond geland. Ietwat langer (87mm) as die Swift model, val die Baleno dan reg in kompetisie met die Volkswagen Polo, Ford Fiesta, Renualt Clio en Opel Corsa. Dit is ook selfs genoem dat die Baleno dalk die Swift reeks heeltemal mag vervang, maar dis egter net bespiegelings. Die groot vraag dan: Is die Baleno ‘n meetbare kompiteerder in hierdie gewilde mark?
Launched: Suzuki Ignis

#LikeNoOther was the main topic at the recent launch of the brand-new Suzuki Ignis. First shown at the 2015 Paris Motor show and launched in South Africa at the end of May 2017, this car should attract an abundance of attention.
