Suzuki Cars Malaysia has launched the Suzuki Fronx Sport alongside the Malaysian launch of the Suzuki Jimny Allgrip Plus and Jimny Rhino Plus.
Based on the Fronx Hybrid that was launched in Malaysia last November, the Fronx Sport is priced at RM130,888 on-the-road without insurance, and Suzuki Cars Malaysia also announced a price reduction for the base Fronx, which now brings the mild-hybrid crossover to RM118,888 on-the-road without insurance.
Added to the base Fronx Hybrid are a set of exterior embellishments including a front bumper lower lip extension, side skirts, a blacked-out front grille and logo, optional 17-inch alloy wheels shod in Continental UltraContact UC7 tyres measuring 215/50R17 (the base Fronx Hybrid gets 16-inch alloys in 195/60R16 tyres), a rear diffuser and tailgate-mounted spoiler, and Fronx Sport side decals.
Under the skin, the Fronx Sport is unchanged from the base Fronx Hybrid, which means suspension is by MacPherson struts in front and a torsion beam layout at the rear; braking is by ventilated discs in front and drum brakes at the rear. The same gross vehicle weight of 1,480 kg is quoted for the Fronx Sport, as for the base Fronx.
Powertrain for the Fronx Sport is also carried over unchanged from the Fronx Hybrid, which means the use of the K15C 1.5 litre inline-four-cylinder, naturally aspirated petrol engine with an integrated starter-generator (ISG) that outputs 103 PS at 6,000 rpm and 138 Nm of torque at 4,400 rpm, sending drive to the front wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission.
Inside, the Fronx dashboard is carried over, and the Fronx Sport gains a 4K dashcam (front and rear), and is otherwise identical in specification to the base Fronx Hybrid. This means the inclusion of a leather three-spoke steering wheel with shift paddles, on a tilt and telescopic steering column. Infotainment is via a nine-inch touchscreen unit that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and wireless phone charging is included as well.
Likewise, safety and driving assistance systems are retained in the Fronx Sport from the base variant. The ADAS suite includes adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitor, rear cross traffic alert, lane change assist, lane departure warning, lane departure prevention, lane keep assist and vehicle sway warning.
Similarly, also included here in the Fronx Sport are electronic stability control, ABS with EBD and brake assist, hill hold and high beam assist, along with Isofix anchors in two seats, and six airbags.
Fully imported (CBU) from Indonesia, the Fronx Sport is offered in Malaysia in two exterior colour schemes; Pearl Snow White with Cool Black, and Cool Black. As with the Jimny duo launched concurrently, the Suzuki Fronx Sport is covered by a three-year, 100,000 km warranty, as well as a five-year, 100,000 km battery warranty.

Wherever the Chinese is you get low price with quality. Bersyukur.
in third world poverty disaster poor India start below RM40k, but Malaysia make it look like premium expensive german SUV price tag. Malaysians work hard so they cannot afford cheap rubbish outdated junk. Sad pathetic country.
No wonder India is a 4 trillion economy!!
Wow, regardless Sport or Base variant it is “handbrake” there. Is this Suzuki Fronx launched to promotes and helps boosting the Toyota Yaris Cross sales? Taking the Chery Tiggo Cross Hybrid vs this Suzuki Fronx, the Fronx looks like a junk then.
Beli Toyota yaris cross rm99k atau nak pratikal traz x rm76k jer lah, ni overpriced takpe, service center pun kurang tak tau nak servis kat mana.
Manual handbrakes for rm100k+?
Naza? Pass….
One of few Japanese cars that is non-CVT. And it is 6-speed AT. I could live with rear drum brakes.
If is aisin 6 AT then ya, it could lasted for lifetime. But rear drum brake…later years hard to be repaired or adjusted, need to open the hub to clean the brake dusts.
Manual handbrake no problem and it actually less headache.
No no no. Accurately, drum are more cheap and easy to service than the disc one. Plus it’s service life is longer than disc too. So, about manual handbrake thing. It comes with sets of package. If you want e-brake, you cannot get drum brake just disc only… but if you want handbrake, you have the option to choose between disc brake or drum.
Mimi, with the kuno equipment and overprice offerings, this is just an upper class B segment WRV. Don’t be stupid pls. Be smart. Be like Mazda
the performance is subpar.
still pricey – did they doing price survey at 1st? or wanna be niche status quo segment like jimny
