Tires on Maruti Baleno (Марути)

Maruti Baleno has been part of the Indian brand's lineup since 2015. The compact sedan stood out from its "classmates" with a combination of modern technology, practicality, and attractive pricing. However, in essence, it was one of the variants of the Suzuki Baleno, adapted to the specifics of the Indian automotive market.

Design Features

The car is built on the same Suzuki platform as the original model, but in a modified version with a simplified structure of power elements and a different calibration of deformation zones, which is related to local safety standards and cost reduction. This reduced the weight of the car, which, depending on the configuration, weighs between 900 and 960 kilograms. At the same time, in terms of torsional and bending stiffness, the model's body still surpasses most of its "classmates" in the B segment.

The car's engine range includes atmospheric gasoline engines with a volume of 1.2 and 1.0 liters, as well as a 1.3-liter diesel engine from the DDiS series, well-known from other models of the alliance. The 1.2 Dualjet gasoline engine develops about 83 horsepower and features a chain-driven timing belt and distributed fuel injection, which has a positive effect on resource and maintenance costs. Unlike the Japanese Suzuki Baleno, where the emphasis was on stricter environmental standards and an expanded range of transmissions, the Indian version is limited to a 5-speed "mechanics" and a robotized AMT transmission with a single clutch.

The suspension is traditional for the class: McPherson struts at the front and a semi-dependent beam at the rear. However, the settings of the springs and shock absorbers are noticeably softer than those of the Suzuki Baleno for the Japanese market. This is done deliberately - the model better filters out bumps and road joints, sacrificing only a small part of handling. The braking system is combined: discs at the front and drums at the rear, while the Japanese version used rear disc mechanisms in some trim levels.

Salon and Equipment

The interior is made of simpler, but more practical materials. Rigid plastic is resistant to wear and temperature fluctuations, which is important for the hot climate. Unlike the "Suzuki Baleno", the Indian version has a reduced set of electronic assistants, a simplified multimedia system, and a less complex architecture of on-board electronics. However, the saloon layout remained almost identical: comfortable seating, logical placement of controls, and sufficient space for second-row passengers.

Most of the released instances were equipped with 15-inch wheels, but some factory-equipped options provided for the use of wheels with a 16-inch mounting diameter. In both cases, the tires had a high profile, which fully corresponded to the concept of the car, in which comfort prevailed. The selection of disks and tires in the "Mosavtoshina" online store is convenient because the assortment immediately takes into account the factory parameters of the car and the permissible loads.
