South African Reviews the Made-in-India Suzuki Fronx – Is She Impressed?

In the latest instance, a South African car expert reviews the made-in-India Suzuki Fronx. In India, it is called the Maruti Suzuki Fronx. However, it is essentially the same car. Maruti Suzuki exports numerous models from India to South Africa. Fronx is based on the Baleno premium hatchback. Both these are underpinned by HEARTECT platform. There are two variants on offer – GL and GLX with manual and automatic transmission options. The host has the GLX MT version. Let us take a look at the details of what the reviewer thinks about the Fronx in South Africa.

South African Reviews Suzuki Fronx

This video comes from Reba S Cars on YouTube. The host has the Fronx for the day. She likes the way the Fronx looks from the outside. The LED DRLs on the bonnet and the main headlamp cluster on the bumper is a modern setup that she finds aggressive. Apart from that, the elegant and stylish 16-inch alloy wheels elevate the side profile. On top of that, the squared-off wheel arches highlight the adventurous demeanour of the crossover. At the rear, one finds the LED taillamps connected via glass panel and the rugged skid plate lends it SUV-ish stance. The roof rails and side body cladding complete the overall appearance.

Interior and Features

Once the host sits inside the cabin of the made-in-India Suzuki Fronx, she mentions that the interior feel quite nice and modern. There is a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment display with smartphone connectivity functions, leather-wrapped steering wheel with controls, part-digital driver’s instrument cluster, automatic climate control, rear AC vents, manual IRVM, fabric on door panels, physical buttons for HVAC, wireless charging, 360-degree camera, head-up display, and a spacious cabin with a deep boot compartment.

Specs, Fuel Economy and Price

Unlike the Indian model, the South African version gets a 1.5-litre K Series engine which generates a familiar 77 kW (103 hp) and 138 Nm of peak power and torque. There are options of choosing between either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed torque converter automatic transmission. It offers a fuel economy of a healthy 5.5 l / 100 km. The prices range from R 297,900 for the GL MT to R 354,900 for the GLX AT. This engine has enough grunt to take the owner on city, as well as highway runs.
