When it comes to Luxury Sedan it might be easy to miss Calboni's Baron. But don't worry! We the full scoop on this Luxury Sedan. We'll let you know where it stands between the Senator and the Senator. So continue reading to find out more about the Calboni Baron.


On first glance the Calboni Baron seems to have everything you'd want in a daily driver on the track. It is not overly powerful, but it packs enough punch to get up and go. While you won't win any races, you won't hold up any traffic. The Luxury Sedan's 103 hp @ 4962RPMs 2551 cc I4 engine does well enough under load to keep you satisfied. The Baron is able to top out at 100 mph and accelerates at 25.660s 0 to 60 mph. With this 88 lb-ft of torque can tow 22 lbs. Once again. Not great, but not bad. Ultimately the Calboni Baron is your average Luxury Sedan on the track. Compared to its peers in the Luxury Sedan class the Calboni Baron selling point should not be driveability. The Baron offers bare bones handling. There is just enough grip in the wheels to keep you from flying off the side of a cliff... But not much. On the track, it is not much better.


When we got to interior testing on the Calboni Baron we found it to be below average. While you wouldn't want to use this vehicle on a road trip, it is comfortable enough for short rides and tiny commutes.

In terms of passenger and cargo space the Calboni Baron's 34 cu-ft could be considered quite adequate for its class. The seats are roomy enough for almost every person, it can store what you would expect, and there is still enough room left over to have a bunch of knickknacks. It's hard to see where Calboni could improve this car. It's good. Very good.

The Calboni Baron was made by below average workers, using below average materials, for a below average company. What do you expect the vehicle quality to be?


The Calboni Baron is not a particularly reliable car. In fact, it is quite downright bad. We suffered a catastrophic brake failure in just a couple of days testing a new car. While this might be a fluke, we wouldn't bet on it from the complaints we've heard.

The Calboni Baron's fuel economy is impressive, but not in a good way. The Baron's 19.0 mpg is one of the worst in class. This might not be troublesome when you look at the numbers, but it will be when you actually have to pay for it.

While being safe is important, Calboni did not believe it was a priority in the Baron. The vehicle does provide enough safety features to be consider average for its class. It does not add anything more than that however.


Some may be able to point to other Luxury Sedan and say this is better. This is prettier. This is the best Luxury Sedan. But they would be wrong. Because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Behold the Calboni Baron it may not be everything for everyone. But it is certainly something for someone.
