铃木近日透露了Baleno五门紧凑型掀背车最初细节，该车将在9月15日开幕的法兰克福车展亮相。此前，铃木曾在年初的日内瓦车展发布了iK-2概念车，而其量产版外观并不如那款概念车那般千瓦，它采用了更为保守的设计。虽然不知道车身的具体尺寸，但按照铃木的说法该车定位为紧凑型掀背车，考虑到概念车的长度为4023毫米，宽1920毫米，高1450毫米，轴距2520毫米，另外从图片看，这是一款超小尺寸车型，因此量产版的车身尺寸也会非常小。铃木透露，该车内部空间很宽敞，同时将搭载全新引擎，包括一台1.0升BOOSTERJET直喷涡轮增压汽油引擎。铃木虽然未透露细节，但表示，该引擎可提供充沛的动力和优异的燃油经济性，搭配轻量化车身，足以为车辆提供“优异的动态性能表现”。

 

Suzuki Baleno compact hatchback previewed prior to IAA launch

Suzuki has released preliminary details and a side profile image of its all-new Baleno five-door compact hatchback. 

 

The production model is a follow-up to the iK-2 concept shown earlier this year in Geneva and obviously it looks less exciting as Suzuki has decided to play it safe and go for a more conservative design which is perhaps more suitable for a budget hatch like the Baleno.

 

We don't have details about the car's size, but Suzuki mentions it's a compact model, although from what we can see in the attached image it looks more like a supermini-sized vehicle, especially since the concept was 4023mm long, 1920mm wide, 1450mm tall and with a 2520mm wheelbase.

 

According to Suzuki, their new model will provide a spacious interior cabin and will implement new technologies, one of which is the 1.0-liter BOOSTERJET direct-injection turbocharged gasoline engine. Without going into details, Suzuki says this newly developed unit will offer enough power and great fuel efficiency all wrapped around in a lightweight body which will enable the model to deliver "dynamic performance" levels.

 

More details will be disclosed on September 15 when the Baleno will debut at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show.
