It is worth remembering that the Suzuki Baleno Cross is based on the Suzuki Baleno facelift. Not the Suzuki Baleno pre-facelift which offered in Columbia as the Suzuki Baleno Respect. So, implicitly the Cross model signals the launch of the country’s facelifted sub-compact hatchback.
The Cross model features a new upper grille. With new lower grille, repositioned fog lights, updated front bumper, updated alloy wheels, and new upholstery. In addition to the roof bars, mudguards, and side moldings.

With a basic5-speed manual transmission. An optional4-speed automatic transmission, this 1,4-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine sold.
The Suzuki Baleno Cross is based on the Suzuki Baleno facelifted design launched last year.
The Suzuki Baleno Cross is available in a standard’ GL’ trim with features such as halogen projector headlamps. Electrically adjustable ORVMs. With 16-inch alloy wheels. Height-adjustable driver’s seat and steering wheel. Also, a 4-speaker audio system and 2 tweeters. And one-touch driver window control controls.
Suzuki has come up and shocked us all. In the Colombian market, Suzuki introduced the Baleno Cross. You read it right. A Cross in Baleno. A substance that hasn’t even been talked or spied before.
Although it just seems to be a one-off for that market. The fact that this Baleno Cross manufactured in India can not overlook. In India Suzuki produces the Baleno and exports it to other nations. This explains why the Baleno was released in India although it was first exhibited internationally in 2015.
