The 2023 Suzuki Fronx boasts a bold design theme that is inspired by the Grand Vitara up front with a slim two-tier light setup and a large mesh grille. The side profile features squarish wheel arches, a tapered roof with a floating effect, and some thick black claddings adding to the ruggedness of the vehicle. At the back, there are distinct LED taillamps that are connected by an LED light bar while a massive silver skid plate is there at the bottom of the bumper.
Inside, the dual-tone design theme consists of flat-bottomed steering, an infotainment system, and an instrument cluster that is reminiscent of the Baleno. Fronx also gets a 9.0-inch free-standing SmartPlay infotainment system supporting Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a wrieless charging pad, and comes equipped with a 360-degree camera as well. In terms of safety, the 2023 Suzuki Fronx comes equipped with 6 airbags, ESP, ABS with EBD, Hill Hold Assist & Roll Over Mitigation, and ISOFIX anchorage.
Fronx SUV comes with two engine options. A 1.0L Boosterjet turbo engine with 100hp and 147Nm is available, as well as a 1.2L K-Series naturally aspirated petrol engine with 89hp and 113Nm. Likewise, there are two gearbox options: a 5-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters.
