EG, 1995 Overview:
Suzuki Baleno (EG, 1995). With 127 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. It has moderate fuel consumption (~8.9 l/100km). Weighing only 945 kg, it’s quite light. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 11.2 s). The top speed reaches 175 km/h. A four-door car with a separate trunk, ideal for families and daily commuting. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.

While the automatic transmission offers convenience, it slightly dulls the otherwise competent performance of the 98hp engine compared to its manual counterpart.
Fuel Economy
The stated fuel economy is surprisingly good for an automatic, making it a practical choice for daily use, though real-world figures might vary.
