Around two and a half years after it was revealed, the Suzuki Fronx is now arriving in Australia.
With the Ignis felled by Australian Design Rules (ADRs), the Fronx assumes the position of Suzuki’s entry-level SUV. It’s a replacement of sorts for the Baleno, which like the Fronx was also sourced from India.
In fact, the Fronx was designed and developed by Suzuki’s Maruti division in India, and is exported to markets like ours and Japan. It shares its platform with the updated Baleno, which wasn’t introduced to Australia.

Suzuki is offering the Fronx in just one trim level with a suite of active safety technology standard plus niceties like a head-up display and heated front seats, wearing a price tag of $28,990 before on-road costs.
It’s offered exclusively with a 1.5-litre four-cylinder mild-hybrid petrol powertrain, with drive sent to the front wheels only via a six-speed automatic transmission. In other markets, the Fronx is also offered with a turbocharged three-cylinder engine and all-wheel drive.
It competes on price with the entry-level ST grade of the Nissan Juke, the mid-spec Sport grade of the Kia Stonic, and the top-shelf Elite grade of the Hyundai Venue.
At under 4m long, however, it’s significantly shorter than all of them.
