Suzuki has finally launched the new Fronx in South Africa, the more affordable of its two crossovers meant to replace the fan-favourite Vitara Brezza.
Prices for the Fronx range from R279,900 to R335,900, meaning even the range-topping variant is cheaper than the brand’s other new SUV, the Grand Vitara.
Based on the Suzuki Baleno hatchback, the new vehicle is available in four specifications with a single 1.5-litre petrol engine between them.
This provides 77kW and 138Nm, and can be paired to either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic gearbox, resulting in a consumption of 5.5l or 5.7l/100km, respectively.
Standard kit includes black 16-inch alloy wheels, automatic LED headlights, climate control, a multifunction steering wheel, hill assist, ABS, two airbags, cruise control, a reverse camera, and a 7-inch infotainment screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The higher-spec units substitute the black wheels with polished ones, and add keyless entry and start, a heads-up display, a 4.2-inch driver’s display, a 360-degree camera system, a wireless charger, and four additional airbags to the equipment list.
Each purchase also includes a 5-year/200,000km warranty and a 4-year/60,000km service plan.
