HNC, Huzuki has officially launched the 2025 Suzuki Fronx, a vehicle that is set to make waves in the global automotive market. Equipped with a state-of-the-art hybrid engine and an impressive suite of safety technologies, the Fronx promises a seamless driving experience that blends innovation with practicality.
Available in two engine options— a 1.5L naturally aspirated (N/A) engine and a 1.5L mild hybrid— the new Fronx introduces the first-ever Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) by Suzuki in Indonesia. So, what can buyers expect from this exciting new model?
Dynamic Design and Compact Dimensions
The Suzuki Fronx 2025 is a masterclass in modern SUV design, blending strength with sophistication. The vehicle adopts a Dynamic Coupe-Style SUV concept, boasting sleek, aerodynamic lines that make it stand out on the road. At the rear, the Fronx features a stylish coupe silhouette, accentuated by bold, thick fenders and bumpers that enhance its robust appearance.
With a compact size—measuring 3,995 mm in length, 1,765 mm in width, and 1,550 mm in height— the Fronx is perfect for navigating busy urban streets. Its 2,520 mm wheelbase and 4.8-meter turning radius provide excellent maneuverability, making it more agile than many of its competitors in the same segment.
Interior and Cutting-Edge Features
Step inside, and the Fronx delivers a spacious and comfortable cabin designed with modern sensibilities. The interior features a combination of black and Bordeaux colors, giving the cabin an upscale feel. The seats are a mix of leather and fabric, ensuring comfort on longer drives. For premium models, Suzuki has incorporated a 9-inch touchscreen head unit, a wireless charging pad, and a 360-degree camera for enhanced visibility.
The Fronx also comes with a tilt and telescopic adjustable steering wheel, paddle shifters, and adaptive cruise control for the highest trims, offering a more personalized and enjoyable driving experience. The mid-range GX variant comes with standard cruise control, while advanced safety features like Lane Keep Assist and Blind Spot Monitor are part of the package.
Performance: Hybrid Power for Efficiency and Power
When it comes to performance, the Suzuki Fronx offers two engine options. The entry-level GL variant comes with a 1.5L K15B engine, available with either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission. The higher-end GX and SGX models feature the K15C 1.5L mild hybrid engine, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission (6AT).
This hybrid system is designed to improve fuel efficiency without compromising on performance. Additionally, it includes a regenerative braking system that recovers energy during braking to further enhance the vehicle’s energy efficiency.
Safety Features and ‘Self-Driving’ Technology
One of the most standout features of the Suzuki Fronx 2025 is its cutting-edge ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System). This suite of safety features includes Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEBS). These systems work seamlessly to assist drivers and prevent accidents, making the driving experience more secure and stress-free.
The Fronx is equipped with Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEBS), which can detect potential collisions and automatically apply the brakes if necessary. It also features Lane Departure Warning and Vehicle Swaying Warning, alerting drivers if they are unintentionally leaving their lane or showing signs of fatigue. With these features, the Fronx is as close as ever to realizing the dream of self-driving technology.
Furthermore, the Suzuki Fronx has earned a solid reputation for safety, scoring an impressive 84% overall in the 2024 JNCAP (Japan New Car Assessment Program) crash tests. While it didn’t reach the maximum 5-star rating, it still ranks as one of the safest compact crossovers tested this year, particularly for its advanced safety systems and sturdy build.
JNCAP Test Highlights
The Fronx’s safety performance in the JNCAP tests is worth noting. It achieved a perfect score of 100% in the Advanced Automatic Emergency Call System (AECS) test, which automatically contacts emergency services in the event of a crash. Additionally, the Fronx displayed strong pedestrian protection, particularly during daytime testing.
However, there is still room for improvement in the detection of pedestrians at night. Despite this, the Fronx showed excellent results in various crash tests, including side impact and frontal offset protection, earning it a reliable score in crash safety.
Comfort and Premium Features
The Suzuki Fronx doesn’t just focus on safety—it also offers exceptional comfort. The cabin is outfitted with premium entertainment and comfort features, such as a top-tier audio system, customizable seating, and a spacious boot for luggage. Suzuki has also included automatic climate control to ensure a comfortable environment for passengers in all weather conditions.
Pricing for the Suzuki Fronx 2025 in Indonesia
As for pricing, the Suzuki Fronx 2025 is expected to be priced competitively. The base GL variant, which features the 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, is anticipated to start at around IDR 250 million. Meanwhile, the more advanced GX and SGX variants, which come with the 1.5L mild hybrid engine, will likely be priced between IDR 290 million and IDR 330 million, depending on the selected trim level and features.
