Suzuki Fronx launching in Malaysia tomorrow, Nov 18, according to Naza countdown teaser – 1.5L mild hybrid

The Suzuki Fronx will be launched in Malaysia on November 18. That’s according to a countdown-style teaser posted up by Naza Eastern Motors – four days to go from November 14 equals to tomorrow. The crossover has been open for booking since September.

We detailed the Fronx at the recent Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS), where it was trying to attract punters with a price range of 259 million to 321.9 million rupiah (RM67k to RM84k) for a CKD model. Word is that the Malaysian-market Fronx will be a CBU import with ADAS in its highest variant, and will be priced at over RM100k.

The Fronx, which has a rebadged Toyota twin called the Urban Cruiser Taisor in India, is 3,995 mm long, 1,765 mm wide and 1,550 mm tall, with a 2,520 mm wheelbase. That makes it 70 mm shorter but 55 mm wider than a Perodua Ativa. The P2’s wheelbase is 5mm longer, so that’s the ballpark size.

Indonesians can choose between GL, GX and SGX variants, and two powertrains including a mild-hybrid for the latter two grades.

The mild-hybrid combines a 101 PS/135 Nm 1.5L four-cylinder NA engine, a 12-volt lithium-ion battery, an integrated starter generator (ISG) and either a five-speed manual or a six-speed automatic gearbox. The base GL is a non-mild hybrid with a very slightly more powerful engine (105 PS/138 Nm) that’s mated to either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic.

All variants get a 37-litre fuel tank, 16-inch alloys with 195/60 tyres, six airbags, front ventilated disc brakes and rear drum brakes. Available kit include LED headlamps and DRLs, auto air-con, shift paddles and wireless phone charging. Only the top variant gets an ADAS pack, which includes AEB, ACC, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert. There’s also a 360-degree camera, high beam assist and a head-up display. What do you think of the Fronx?
