The Suzuki Baleno, a new hatchback model from CFAO Motors, has been unveiled to satisfy the market's rising need for fuel-efficient automobiles.

A 1500cc petrol engine with strong performance and fuel economy will power the Suzuki Baleno. It will cost Kes2.73 million at retail.

Most automobile purchasers now favour smaller, less fuel-efficient vehicles due to high gasoline prices and an increased cost of living.

Currently, a litre of fuel costs Kes177, while a litre of diesel costs Kes162.

CFAO Motors, Managing Director Arvinder Reel noted that the Suzuki Baleno is designed explicitly with young motor enthusiasts, families, and budding entrepreneurs in mind.

"This is due to its unique features and fuel efficiency fit for customers seeking to make bolder moves," he said

A 4-speed automatic transmission, 360-degree camera with heads-up display, six airbags, LED headlights, a 9-inch infotainment system display, and improved fuel efficiency of 14–17 km/l are all included in the new sporty and fashionable model.

The car will be offered across the country through the 33 branches and dealerships of CFAO Motors' expanded network.

Customers are assured a 3-year or 100,000-kilometer factory warranty, and they may finance their car purchases through major financial institutions in Kenya while also taking advantage of a thorough after-sales service.
