Suzuki has cleverly combined the words "frontier" and "cross-over" to create the name "Fronx" for their new vehicle. This name captures both the idea of crossing a frontier in the market and the design that combines elements of an SUV and a coupé. The Fronx is not only cool-sounding, but it also offers an exceptional driving experience.

The Suzuki Fronx is a vehicle that truly represents value for money. In South Africa, the majority of volume sales fall within the price range of R300,000 to R375,000. The Fronx is priced from R279,900 to 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, combining the features of a coupé and an SUV. This unique combination offers motorists style, performance, and excellent value for money. According to Brendon Carpenter, brand marketing manager of Suzuki Auto South Africa, the Fronx demonstrates that buyers don't have to compromise on style, performance, and safety in the compact SUV segment.

The design of the Fronx is influenced by the Crafted Futurism design language seen in other recent Suzuki models. It combines well-built quality with forward-thinking styling. The Fronx features signature Suzuki SUV design elements, such as the grille, as well as new design elements like a swooping roofline, bold wheel arches, dual-layer front lights, large alloy wheels, and LED tail lamps.

Suzuki understands that buyers of the Fronx want to stand out from the crowd, which is why they offer a wide range of exterior paint options. 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.

The interior of the Suzuki Fronx is spacious and packed with convenient features. All versions of the Fronx come 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 versions. Other features include electric windows, automatic climate control, rear-seat ventilation, central locking, electric power steering, USB charging points, and a center console box that doubles as an armrest and storage compartment.

All versions of the Suzuki Fronx are equipped with the K15B engine, known for its fuel efficiency. This 1.5l four-cylinder petrol engine delivers 77kW of power and 138Nm of torque. It can be paired with either a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic transmission.

Suzuki has established itself as one of the fastest-growing car brands in South Africa. Their Swift and Jimny models have been recognized as category winners in the 2019 Car of the Year competition. The Fronx offers a comfortable ride and handling, with an average fuel consumption of around 5.7l per 100kms. It provides excellent value for money and spacious seating for five adults, along with ample boot space.
