Suzuki Baleno 2018
Carsguide Contributing Journalist Andrew Chesterton had this to say at the time: The city-car segment is stacked to overflowing with quality contenders, all wearing dirt-cheap price tags. And that's what makes this Baleno a bit of a tough sell. It's perky and fun from behind the wheel, sure, but the safety package and short warranty dents its appeal.

Suzuki Baleno 2018 Q&As
Check out real-world situations relating to the Suzuki Baleno 2018 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

What is the ANCAP rating for the 2018 Suzuki Baleno?
The Baleno sold in Australia was fitted with six air-bags in total. That was made up of two front bags, two front-side bags and two full-length curtain air-bags that protected those in the rear seat as well. But it missed out on other safety tech including autonomous emergency braking and lane-keep assistance.
The Baleno wasn’t crash-tested locally, but it was tested by Euro NCAP and didn’t perform too well. Combined with that lack of active safety gear was a relatively poor chest-protection rating in the pole-impact test, leaving the Suzuki with a safety score of just three stars.

Hyundai Accent 2016: Is a used Hyundai better than a new Suzuki?
Both are good cars and should give you reliable motoring for many years to come. The servicing costs are similar. The Hyundai is only three years old and has only done minimal kilometres, so should by in near-new condition if it has been looked after and well serviced. Against that the Baleno is new and has a five-year warranty.
There is no reason to think that you would need to change either car within the period you mention.
