The all-new Suzuki Baleno’s role in the Japanese automaker’s lineup is to offer a more affordable and more practical alternative to the Swift. It’s a very simple and unpretentious role it has to play, as the next-generation Swift will become more lifestyle-oriented.

But does that mean that the Baleno should be denied sportier-looking versions in the future? Photoshop manipulator Theophilus Chin tends to disagree and after seeing his renderings I have to say I’m on the same page.

He envisioned a more attractive version of the car called Baleno Sport, much like the Swift has its own Sport variant.

Changes include redesigned bumpers, new alloy wheels, two chromed blades on the lower part of the doors as well as satin silver mirror caps and door handles. The front bumper also gains two chrome elements under the fog lights, while the rear bumper houses a diffuser. What do you think?
