Suzuki Fronx Launch

author: FutureCar Staff    

Suzuki has cleverly combined the words "frontier" and "cross-over" to create the name "Fronx" for their latest vehicle. This name represents the vehicle's ability to cross frontiers in the market and its design that combines elements of an SUV and a coupé. The name is catchy and easy to remember, just like the driving experience of the Fronx.

If you're looking for a vehicle that offers great value for money, look no further than the Suzuki Fronx. 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 affordable option that doesn't compromise on quality and features.

The Suzuki Fronx introduces a new styling concept to the Suzuki lineup - that of a coupé SUV. This unique combination of style, performance, and value-for-money motoring sets the Fronx apart from other vehicles in its segment. According to Brendon Carpenter, the brand marketing manager of Suzuki Auto South Africa, the Fronx aims to show South Africans that they can have style, performance, and safety in a compact SUV.

The design of the Fronx is influenced by the Crafted Futurism design language, which is also seen in other recent Suzuki models like the Grand Vitara and the Suzuki Baleno. This design language 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, 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 colors. Buyers can choose from options like Arctic White Pearl, Splendid Silver Pearl Metallic, Grandeur Grey Pearl Metallic, Celestial Blue Pearl Metallic, Lucent Orange Pearl Metallic, and Bluish Black Pearl.

Inside the spacious cabin of the Fronx, you'll find a range of 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, central locking, dual rear-mounted 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 is available with either a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic transmission.

Suzuki has become one of the fastest-growing car brands in South Africa, 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 great value for money and has a spacious interior that can comfortably seat five adults, along with ample boot space.
