10 A New-Generation Platform that Pursues an Ideal Form Need for reinforcing parts minimised by smooth, flowing form. Collision energy dispersed smoothly and efficiently. Developing the Baleno led to huge leaps in the evolution of its platform. The ideal form of a framework with smooth and continuous curves disperses energy and heightens rigidity while also achieving light weight by eliminating the unnecessary. This new-generation platform elevates fundamental automotive functions like cruising, turning, and stopping to the next level. Simple Shape Resistant to Deformation The frame with smooth, curving lines with fewer joint points enables reduction of the reinforcements that were required on the joint points in previous frames, resulting not only in lighter weight, but dispersing collision energy more efficiently. New Heights in Cruising, Turning, and Stopping Suspension that Contributes to Stable Handling The highly tuned suspension enables maintenance of an optimal line when cornering and a stick-to-the-road sense of stability on straightaways. Enjoy direct-response and exhilarating handling

11 Essential Safety Features for Greater Peace of Mind Knowing you're well protected can make driving more fun. For greater peace of mind, the Baleno is equipped with preventive and collision safety features designed to mitigate injury in the unlikely event of an accident. These features include an Anti-lock Brake System, a energy-absorbing body, and multiple airbags, as well as protection for pedestrians. ABS Brakes applied Braking Assistance: In an emergency braking, an Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) keeps tyres from locking up and adds stability to evasive maneuvers. In addition, a braking assistance function augments stopping power, while Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) helps maintain control by sending the optimum amount of force to the front and rear wheels. ABS is a device that assists the driver during braking. It does not eliminate the need to drive safely, for example by slowing down when approaching a corner. Pedestrian Protection: To mitigate the extent of injuries in the event that the car comes into contact with a pedestrian, the Baleno s bonnet panel, cowl top, wipers, and bumpers are built to absorb impacts. With ABS Without ABS Greater Safety Ensures More Enjoyable Driving Light, Energy-Absorbing TECT Body and Airbag System for Protecting Occupants The cabin is protected in the event of a collision by a body structure that efficiently absorbs and disperses energies from the front, side, and rear. Another layer of protection is provided by SRS airbags for the driver and front passenger. Safety is further enhanced by SRS side airbags and SRS curtain airbags on the GLX grade.
