After more than six months and more than 5 000 km, time has come to bid farewell to our nuisance-free long-term flagship Fronx GLX.
Suzuki Fronx is no less than a fugitive success since the arrival of the South African market in the stages of 2023.
Success after success
In its first entire year of sales last year, a total of 7 355 units left the dealership floor, so far this year with an amount of 5 351 units, January is the only month where the sales failed to dissolve 1 000 points.

Although its name has been indicated, a combination of “Frontier Next”, the crossover stabolmet of the Baleno has also excluded its ribed Toyota cybuling, Starlet Cross, which has a total sales on 4 538 units so far for 2025.
Preliminary concerns…
The demand for supply earlier last year has maintained its popularity despite the additional criticism brought by Fronx created by the Maruti Division of Suzuki at its Ahmedabad plant at its Ahmedabad plant, despite additional criticism brought due to lack of turbocharged boosterjets offered at home.
A step that is most likely that pricing has increased significantly, tried and selected the 1.5 K15B petrol engine in general, but a disaster, not only in power and torque distribution but also in fuel consumption.
.. But a stellar partner
Reaching the end of last year, citizenFor a long time Fronx 1.5 GLX returned home after a long stay for six months, during which a total of 5 724 km was added to the odometer.
Often, for the commitments of the work, the editorial team was called by other members of the editorial team or the out-of-proteins were away from the office, it not only received significant praise from the point of view of a frugality, but also for its standard equipment that comes with its R342 900 price tag.
Its sticker has increased to R7 000 since its arrival, the recent and most unusual function of Fronx included Gerotek’s visit, where the road test editor Mark Jones placed it against the watch.
While initially a light-fashioned assessment, seeing the serious metal present during the day, Fronx only increased rapidly as its engine with each run, heated by a fellow colleague as “15B of MIT”, heated.
Despite the reef’s power sapping height, the Fronx counter, slicing a 1 010 kg inscribed mass and five-speed manual, sent it to the sprint 0–100 km/h in 12.2 seconds.
Although there is no possibility of any buyer being subject to a full-fledged standing, Fronx’s term became evil, although some swallows prevailed.
Yes and no
The standard on the GLX will not be for everyone’s taste to bring two-tone black-and-burger leather interior, and while its minder appreciated the underlying sporty look, a traditional single black option would probably echo better with more and more buyers.
Following India’s sub-four-meter rules, Fronx is 3995 mm long, 1 765 mm wide and 1 550 mm long, its wheelbase is spread to 2 520 mm.
When doing undramatically-withing on paper, the follicle sloping roof design robs the rear passenger headroom at the point where the long world will get a long journey, which will be uncomfortable despite the legroom being exceeded.
While the grandeur gray pearl metallic paint option did not really resonate with you at the individual level, the overall design was not as interrupted as a color can often make or break the permanent appearance of the vehicle.
Instead, it is, of course, the most striking and best looking product is available within Suzuki’s product portfolio.
Climbing the 16 -inch alloy wheels, Fronx has also thanked its wheel arch cladding, silver doors, and imitations satin silver in the front and back and back bumper.
Often ignoring, the rear fate design is very neatly executed with a slim light cluster associated with a round appearance and a full-width LED light bar.
Opening the door, and preventing the divisive color, the baleno roots of the fombous are an interior that is logically prepared and kept together well.
While the quality of the material varies uncertainly, from soft-touching to the surface to the surface to the surface, everything else feels bad simultaneously because no tingling or squeak develops throughout the six months.
As the payment line of many Suzuki models has been, the levels of GLX tools have been left too low to be desired, especially considering its price.
In addition to automatic climate control with rear vents, a multi-function steering wheel and push-button start, range-topping frix, a head-up display and a 360-degree surround surround-view-verse camera system as its specification headlights.
While the lower-bottom GL does with a seven-inch infotainment system, GLX also with a large nine-inch-apple carplay and android auto-which proved to be easy to scroll unlike overcamping setups of equally priced Chinese products.
However, an ergonomic success, one aspect of the interior deteriorating over time, was the front seats.
On arrival, the firm and comfortable, cushions softened at the point with time where seats required low-bolted and more padding.
To practicality, space barriers faced by rear travelers have not made it in the boot of Fronx.
With Baleno, boot loading is not aligned with lip, the result is a deep holiday that is capable of adjusting 304-liter.
While unable to completely bend the flat completely, the rear is reduced to an additional 301-liter for a total of 605-liter.
‘Powerful K15B’
Behind the wheel, Fronx seems attractive and, as the mark of the mark proved, Spritly gave 15% of its power deficiency at height.
Again the result of its mass and light but direct manual gearbox, the 77kw/138Nm of the K15B seems comparatively short, yet from the bottom, from the bottom, the fronx draws well and starts reaching a high level in the Rev range in its element.
Buzzy, unexpectedly on the national border, will need to release some kogas to place the engine on the song, with the number of ratio, closing the initial high-rave spikes and thrown into some mountainous classes.
Its ground clearance does not feel heavy to rival some SUVs at 170 mm, and thus, comes with anticipated handling, a soft ride that only gets bouncing on the thick and badly maintained roads, and feels a mild steering.
The largest highlight during six months, of course fuel consumption. Fit with a 35-liter tank, a distance of close to 600 km was often covered at a rate of six-liter per 100 km per 100 km.
In its lowest, the trip computer often beat up five-liter per 100 km, yet was keen to hover around 5.4 or 5.5 L/100 km.
conclusion
The straight simplicity is the mantra of the Suzuki Fronx without a sporton or dull as it never made his legs wrong during six months of migration.
In fact, it often became a safe shelter to be “normal” from the array of high performance or was to share it with the limelight with technically advanced vehicles.
Money products for a completely executed and spectacular value, it is a bitter goodbye, but, vice versa citizenThe latter will not apply to buyers who sign the dotted line.
