When one thinks of the Suzuki Baleno, value for money immediately comes to mind. The Baleno is more on the budget end of the spectrum, but it doesn't at all feel cheap in any respect. We have a long-term Baleno in our fleet, and stay tuned for more stories surrounding this vehicle.

The current generation Baleno ramps this up and follows a new design language called 'Crafted Futurism'. This language follows a mix of organic and dynamic lines and is a refinement of the previous Baleno's Liquid Flow design language. In addition to the crafted futurism of this vehicle, you'll find a whole host of creature comforts in the Baleno, but surprisingly, when you look at the bill, you'll be a bit baffled at how much value there is in such a package. With this in mind, how much will you pay monthly for a Baleno? We have four variants for you to check out. Our long-term unit is a 1.5 GLX Manual.
How much will it cost?
Here's how we'll calculate the costs for a Baleno. On AutoTrader, we use a standard finance model for car repayments. Know what you qualify for, though? Then, you can go right ahead and try out the AutoTrader Finance Calculator tool to see your potential repayments for a Baleno. In order to calculate the monthly repayments, though, we'll use a typical finance agreement with a 72-month term and a 10% deposit. You can have a balloon or residual payment, but we won't use that in this calculation. For this calculation, we'll use an interest rate of prime plus 2% for an interest rate resulting in 13.75%. Your individual credit profile determines the interest rate, so you'll have to check what interest rate you qualify for. After our calculation, your payment will look like this for the four available variants:
