Suzuki Fronx Sport variant launched in Malaysia with enhanced ADAS

Suzuki has introduced a new Sport variant for its Fronx model in Malaysia, with a price tag of 130,888 ringgit (around $27,000 USD).

The Fronx Sport distinguishes itself with a sportier exterior, featuring enhanced body kits. These include a revised front bumper, new side skirts, a blacked-out grille with a matching logo, and a larger rear spoiler. It also sports 17-inch alloy wheels fitted with Continental UltraContact UC7 tires (215/50R17).

While the exterior receives a significant styling update, the mechanical specifications remain largely unchanged from the standard version. The vehicle retains its MacPherson front and torsion beam rear suspension, along with disc brakes at the front and drum brakes at the rear. The weight stays at 1,480kg. Power comes from a 1.5L K15C naturally aspirated four-cylinder gasoline engine with an integrated starter generator (ISG), producing 102 horsepower and 138 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission driving the front wheels.

The interior sees minimal changes, with the most notable addition being a 4K dashcam that records both front and rear footage. However, the safety features have been enhanced. The Fronx Sport in Malaysia is equipped with a more complete Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) package compared to the Vietnamese version. It includes adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-change assist, lane departure warning, and lane-keeping assist. Notably, the Malaysian model adds lane departure prevention and sway warning functions, further improving driver support.
