LONG KNOWN FOR ITS SUPERB and well-priced compact SUVs, the latest release from Suzuki is sure to find favour with their loyal customer base, and bring new customers to the brand.
The new Suzuki Fronx Hybrid is a bold new contender in the compact SUV segment, blending style, smarts, and next-generation hybrid technology into one versatile package.
Its odd (and mouth-challenging) name is derived from “Frontier Crossover,” and marks the beginning of an exciting new era in Suzuki’s SUV story. The Fronx Hybrid is the first all-new Suzuki nameplate introduced to Australia in over a decade, and it’s here to shake things up with a confident presence and cutting-edge design.
From first glance, the Fronx Hybrid sets itself apart from traditional small SUVs. With its sleek coupe-style silhouette, futuristic front end, and high ground clearance, it brings a sporty, urban edge to the SUV category. Dynamic features like LED lighting, expressive colour range, 16-inch alloy wheels, and a roof-integrated spoiler add personality and polish from every angle.
Under the bonnet, the 1.5L Smart Hybrid Vehicle by Suzuki (SHVS) I2V system pairs intelligent electrification with Suzuki’s undeniable reliable performance DNA. The Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) provides smooth electric assist during acceleration and enables efficient stop-start functionality, keeping fuel consumption at a low 4.9L/100km without sacrificing drivability. Coupled with a six-stage automatic transmission, it delivers a confident, fuel-efficient ride whether you’re zipping through the city or cruising the suburbs.
Inside, the Fronx Hybrid impresses with a premium cabin experience. A black and Bordeaux interior theme, soft-touch surfaces, and ergonomic design create a space that feels both refined and functional. With advanced tech, intuitive controls, and generous space, every drive feels elevated and effortless.
But perhaps the Fronx Hybrid’s biggest strength lies in its universal appeal, whether you’re a first-time buyer, a growing family upsizing for space, a downsizer seeking efficiency.
