What's different about the newer EG Baleno versus the old EW model?

The EG dropped the turbo option and runs a single 1.5L 77kW petrol four, but it looks sharper, gains a bigger 9-inch touchscreen with a 360-degree camera and head-up display on the GLX, and moves to LED projector headlights. Ground clearance is 150mm and it still returns strong economy from a 37L tank.

Is the EG Baleno GLX worth the step up from the GL?

The GLX adds keyless entry and push-button start, a 9-inch display with 360-degree camera, LED projector headlights with DRLs, head-up display, alloy wheels and rear privacy glass. The GL is well-equipped for the price with six airbags and a 7-inch screen, so it comes down to whether you want the camera tech and nicer lighting.

ANCAP, by exact grade

No data

A rating belongs to the exact variant ANCAP tested and is never carried across to a grade or a build year it does not cover. A rating older than six years is marked expired because ANCAP’s own test has moved on.

The second-generation EG Suzuki Baleno (2022-on) grew up on the same 2520mm wheelbase but swapped to a bolder, coupe-inspired body and a single 1.5L four-cylinder (77kW/138Nm) driving the front wheels through a 5-speed manual or 4-speed auto. It's a well-equipped light hatch for the money: even the GL gets six airbags, a 7-inch touchscreen and cruise control, while the GLX steps up to a 9-inch display with a 360-degree camera, LED projector headlights, head-up display and keyless start. Like the earlier car it has no local ANCAP rating, so lean on the equipment list rather than a star score.

The EW-series Suzuki Baleno (2016-2022) was a light hatch that punched above its class for space, with a big 355L boot and a roomy cabin on a 2520mm wheelbase, all in a sub-1000kg package. Buyers chose between a naturally-aspirated 1.4L (68kW) in the GL and GLX, or the punchy 1.0L BoosterJet turbo triple (82kW/160Nm) in the GLX Turbo, which pairs a 6-speed auto with a genuinely quick, frugal drive. It's cheap to run and easy to park, though it was never ANCAP-tested in Australia so there's no local star rating.
