Is the Design Discerning?

We wanted to incorporate new design into the style of the vehicle without losing its individuality. The Baleno combines a low and wide form for outstanding stability with a body shaped by dynamically owing curves. This painstaking attention to design is what grabs the viewer’s heart and refuses to let it go.

Does It Compromise on Spaciousness?

Our focus on style didn’t lead us to neglect the pursuit of spaciousness. The Baleno offers best-in-class cabin space*, with plenty of room for adults to ride in comfort while also securing generous storage capacity for luggage. This sense of comfort and openness is what makes going out fun.

A Stylish User-friendly Instrument Panel The Baleno instrument panel follows the low and wide design concept of the exterior, creating an expansive interior space.

The innovative design of the instrument panel centre, with easily operated audio and automatic air conditioning controls, accentuates the cockpit.

Advanced Multi-information Display When you slip into the driver’s seat, the first thing you notice is the information display at the centre of the instrument cluster, which gives a clear picture of the state of the car. This advanced multi-information display has a 4.2-inch colour LCD screen (GLX) that intuitively conveys a range of information such as fuel efficiency, engine output, average vehicle speed and driving results.

Displays traveling fuel efficiency and average past fuel efficiency.

Displays power and torque in real time.

Displays average vehicle speed and average past vehicle speed.

The high-contrast LCD panel ensures excellent legibility of the display. The system plays radio (AM/FM), CDs as well as USBs. The audio system features six speakers as standard, with wireless connectivity via Bluetooth®* (GLX and GL) for smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices.

The automatic air conditioner (GLX) has a unique circular display, with a high-contrast LCD panel. GL and GA grades come with a manual air conditioner.

A cruise control system (GLX) boosts convenience, especially when cruising on highways, by keeping the car moving at a constant, driver-set speed without requiring the driver to keep pressing the accelerator pedal.

A New-Generation Platform that Pursues an Ideal Form

Need for reinforcing parts minimised by smooth, owing form.

Collision energy dispersed smoothly and eďŹƒciently.

Simple Shape Resistant to Deformation Developing the Baleno led to huge leaps in the evolution of its platform. The ideal form of a framework with smooth and continuous curves disperses energy and heightens rigidity while also achieving light weight by eliminating the unnecessary. This new-generation platform elevates fundamental automotive functions like cruising, turning, and stopping to the next level.

The frame with smooth, curving lines with fewer joint points enables reduction of the reinforcements that were required on the joint points in previous frames, resulting not only in lighter weight, but dispersing collision energy more eďŹƒciently.

N e w H e i g h t s i n C r u i s i n g , Tu r n i n g , a n d S t o p p i n g Suspension that Contributes to Stable Handling The highly tuned suspension enables maintenance of an optimal line when cornering and a stick-to-the-road sense of stability on straightaways. Enjoy direct-response and exhilarating handling.

Essential Safety Features for Greater Peace of Mind Knowing you're well protected can make driving more fun. For greater peace of mind, the Baleno is equipped with preventive and collision safety features designed to mitigate injury in the unlikely event of an accident. These features include an Anti-lock Brake System, a energy-absorbing body, and multiple airbags, as well as protection for pedestrians.

Braking Assistance:

Pedestrian Protection:

In an emergency braking, an Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) keeps tyres from locking up and adds stability to evasive maneuvers. In addition, a braking assistance function augments stopping power, while Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) helps maintain control by sending the optimum amount of force to the front and rear wheels.

To mitigate the extent of injuries in the event that the car comes into contact with a pedestrian, the Baleno’s bonnet panel, cowl top, wipers, and bumpers are built to absorb impacts.

ABS is a device that assists the driver during braking. It does not eliminate the need to drive safely, for example by slowing down when approaching a corner.

Greater Safety Ensures More Enjoyable Driving Light, Energy-Absorbing TECT Body and Airbag System for Protecting Occupants The cabin is protected in the event of a collision by a body structure that efficiently absorbs and disperses energies from the front, side, and rear.

Another layer of protection is provided by SRS airbags for the driver and front passenger. Safety is further enhanced by SRS side airbags and SRS curtain airbags on the GLX grade.
