Suzuki Thailand has announced a new pricing structure for the Suzuki Fronx, offering discounts of up to 100,000 baht on select models. The entry-level GL 4AT now starts at 599,000 baht, down from the original 689,000 baht. The MHEV GLX 6AT is available for 649,000 baht, while the MHEV GLX Plus 6AT begins at 699,000 baht, a reduction from 799,000 baht. All variants are completely imported from Indonesia (CBU).

Two ways to buy

Customers have two distinct options when purchasing a Fronx. The first is a direct price cut, which is available exclusively to “Suzuki Family” members. To qualify, a buyer must either own a current Suzuki vehicle in their name or have a registered account in the Suzuki Family application with a family member’s car listed. The second option involves a zero-percent interest financing scheme for lease-to-own customers, provided they make a minimum down payment of 25 percent and spread payments over 48 months. This zero-percent option is open to everyone, including those switching brands.

Specs and dimensions

The Fronx is offered with two engine choices. The standard model uses a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated petrol engine producing 105 horsepower, paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission. The MHEV model utilizes a 1.5-liter mild-hybrid setup with 101 horsepower and a 6-speed automatic. Technically, the car measures 3,995 x 1,765 x 1,550 millimeters and sits on a 2,520-millimeter wheelbase. It offers a ground clearance of 170 millimeters, which is lower than the Toyota Yaris Cross or Honda WR-V but comparable to the Mazda CX-3.

Practicality is a key selling point, particularly for families. The cargo area provides 290 liters of space, which expands to 1,009 liters when the rear seats are folded. Standard equipment includes a 7-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 16-inch alloy wheels, and LED daytime running lights. Safety features consist of a 3-point ELR seatbelt in the front with height adjustment, rear 3-point seatbelts, ISOFIX child seat anchors, and electronic stability control (ESP).
