The unique coupé SUV also has a name that might take some getting used to; it's called the Fronx.Suzuki has a brand new vehicle, and it will most likely be another bestseller. The name might leave you scratching your head, but the pricing is at the sweet spot most South Africans will love.
READ | Suzuki's automotive quartet: Why the Celerio, Swift, Jimny and Ignis are perfect for South Africans Brendon Carpenter, brand marketing Mmnager of Suzuki Auto South Africa, says:"With our new Fronx, we want to show South Africans that they do not have to compromise on style, performance and safety when buying in the compact SUV segment."The Fronx offers a fresh choice in this market segment, and the K15B 1.5 litre petrol engine promises great performance and low fuel consumption.
The result combines the signature Suzuki SUV design elements, such as the grille, first seen on the Grand Vitara and completely new elements. There's a swooping roofline, bold wheel arches that combine creased metal and black polycarbonate wheel arch extensions, dual-layer front lights with a follow-me-home function, large alloy wheels and LED tail lights. On the GLX model, the tail lights are connected by a LED light bar that runs the length of the vehicle.
The boot has 304 litres of space, even with a full-sized 16" spare wheel. And, when the rear seats are folded down, the space grows to 605 litres, while all models have a 60:40 split folding rear bench seat.The car has also has a good ride height with 170mm ground clearance, and its 16" alloy wheels shod with 195/60 tyres.Our launch rotation took place over two days in a typical wet and cold Cape Town winter.
Despite its size, the Fronx feels really good on the road, no matter how you drive it or the driving conditions, but frankly, that's what Suzuki has been proving with most of its cars and why they remain one of the top automakers in the country.We drove a lot during the launch and put the cars through their paces. Even so, the worst fuel consumption I noted was 7.1-litres/100km with spirited driving. When slowing down, and driving more economically, the reading came down to 5.6-litres.100km.
