After all you recognize the reply to the query above – these slim eyes are a giveaway. We noticed the factor in and out not too long ago on the Gaikindo Indonesia Worldwide Auto Present (GIIAS) and are completely satisfied to report that regardless of its extra budget-oriented Maruti Suzuki origins, the Suzuki Fronx doesn’t really feel like a bargain-basement SUV, even when it’s priced between 259 million and 321.9 million rupiah (RM67k-84k) in Indonesia (the place it’s CKD regionally assembled).
The Toyota City Cruiser Taisor twin is 3,995 mm lengthy (shorter than an Ativa!), 1,765 mm broad, 1,550 mm tall and has a 2,520 mm wheelbase. Indonesians can select between GL, GX and SGX variants, and two powertrains together with a mild-hybrid for the latter two variants.
The mild-hybrid carries a 101 PS/135 Nm 1.5 litre four-cylinder engine, a 12-volt lithium-ion battery, an built-in starter generator (ISG) and both a five-speed guide or six-speed auto. The bottom GL is a non-mild hybrid with a really barely extra highly effective engine (105 PS and 138 Nm of torque) that’s mated to both a five-speed guide or a four-speed auto.
Irrespective of the variant, Indonesia will get a 37-litre gas tank, 16-inch alloys with 195/60 profile tyres, entrance MacPherson struts, a rear torsion beam, six airbags, entrance ventilated disc brakes and rear drum brakes. You possibly can try the Indonesian-market spec variations between variants right here, however among the obtainable equipment contains LED headlamps and DRLs, auto air-con, shift paddles and wi-fi telephone charging.
Solely the highest variant has ADAS, together with AEB, ACC, a 360-degree digicam, lane maintain help, lane departure warning, car swaying warning, blind spot monitoring, rear cross site visitors alert, excessive beam help and a head-up show.
The Naza Japanese-era Suzuki Malaysia has hitherto been a distinct segment CBU-only participant (Jimny and Swift Sport). If the Fronx is certainly coming to Malaysia, will probably be the primary mainstream Suzuki within the nation in an extended whereas. As Naza doesn’t have an meeting plant anymore, can the Fronx be competitively-priced as a CBU automotive? Or is the CKD associate route attainable?
