In Karachi, Suzuki unveiled its all-new compact SUV, the Fronx, creating fresh excitement among buyers. After the Vitara faced market challenges, the company now seems ready for a strong return with this bold new launch.
Local Assembly Strategy
The Fronx stands out as Suzuki’s largest and most expensive model so far. It is also the company’s first locally assembled SUV, a decision meant to fix the issues of the imported Vitara, which suffered from high pricing and limited spare parts. Suzuki now aims to offer better value and easier maintenance by assembling the Fronx within Pakistan.
Market Competition
The Fronx enters a crowded segment, competing directly with the Honda HR-V, Kia Stonic and Toyota Corolla Cross. Although Suzuki has not revealed its price, the early release of specs and exclusive images has already raised anticipation among potential buyers.
Specs and Features Overview
The Fronx measures 3995 x 1765 x 1550 mm with a 2520 mm wheelbase. It carries a 1.5L engine producing 103 hp and 138 Nm of torque, paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission. It has a 37 L fuel tank and a spacious 605 L luggage capacity when the rear seats are folded. The SUV features 16-inch alloy rims.
Interior and Safety Additions
Inside, drivers get a 9-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Digital climate control, rear AC vents, a wireless charger, steering controls, keyless entry, push start and rear USB ports add comfort. Safety features include six airbags, ABS, vehicle stability assistance, hill-hold control, a 360-degree camera and parking sensors. These specs reflect the international version, and the local variant may come with minor changes.
What Comes Next
With its official reveal now complete, the biggest unanswered question is its price in Pakistan. Suzuki has kept this information hidden, leaving fans guessing and sparking lively discussions across social platforms.
