Suzuki Fronx Launch

author: FutureCar Staff    

Suzuki has cleverly combined the words "frontier" and "cross-over" to create the name "Fronx" for their new vehicle. This name represents how the vehicle crosses a frontier for Suzuki in the market segment and how its design crosses a frontier between SUV and coupé. The inclusion of the letter "X" emphasizes the crossover nature of the Fronx.

The Suzuki Fronx is a vehicle that offers excellent value for money. In South Africa, approximately 79.3% of all volume sales are within the price range of R300,000 to R375,000. The Fronx is priced ideally between R279,900 and R335,900, making it an attractive option for buyers looking for a great deal.

The Fronx introduces a new styling concept to the Suzuki lineup - that of a coupé SUV. It combines style, performance, and value-for-money motoring, allowing buyers to enjoy a unique driving experience. According to Brendon Carpenter, the brand marketing manager of Suzuki Auto South Africa, the Fronx demonstrates that buyers in the compact SUV segment do not have to compromise on style, performance, and safety.

The design of the Suzuki Fronx shares similarities with other recent models in the Suzuki lineup, such as the Grand Vitara and the Suzuki Baleno. The design language, called Crafted Futurism, combines well-built quality with forward-thinking styling. The Fronx features signature Suzuki SUV design elements, including a distinctive grille, as well as new design elements like a swooping roofline and bold wheel arches.

Suzuki understands that buyers who choose the Fronx want to stand out from the crowd. Therefore, the Fronx will be available in a variety of colors and color combinations. Buyers can choose from Arctic White Pearl, Splendid Silver Pearl Metallic, Grandeur Grey Pearl Metallic, Celestial Blue Pearl Metallic, Lucent Orange Pearl Metallic, and Bluish Black Pearl exterior paint options.

The Suzuki Fronx offers a spacious cabin with numerous convenient features. All versions of the Fronx come equipped with a leather-clad multi-function steering wheel that includes buttons for Bluetooth connectivity, audio controls, and cruise control. Cruise control is standard across all Fronx models. The steering wheel is adjustable for height, and GLX models also offer reach adjustment.

Additional features found in the Fronx include electric windows front and rear, automatic climate control with rear-seat ventilation, central locking, electric power steering, dual rear-mounted USB charging points, a front-mounted 12V charging socket, and a center console box that serves as both an armrest and storage compartment.

All versions of the Suzuki Fronx are equipped with the K15B engine. This 1.5-liter four-cylinder petrol engine delivers 77kW of power and 138Nm of torque. Buyers can choose between a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic transmission.

Suzuki has seen significant growth in the South African car market, with models like the Swift and Jimny winning awards. The Fronx offers a comfortable ride and handling, with an average fuel consumption of around 5.7 liters per 100 kilometers. It provides excellent value for money and features a spacious interior that can comfortably seat five adults, along with ample boot space.
