The Fronx, Suzuki’s Baleno-based SUV coupe, has arrived in the Nepalese market. The pricing of this new SUV coupe will be announced on July 24.

Because the Fronx is based on the Baleno, this means that is also underpinned by Suzuki’s Heartect monocoque platform. Apart from a few body panels shared on the outside, the Fronx gets a more upright nose and a split headlamp set-up similar to the Grand Vitara.

The revised front and rear bumpers are more pronounced, with dedicated faux skid plates at both ends and a subtle chrome action. It gets 17-inch alloy wheels with a new design that is exclusive to the Fronx and not shared by any other Suzuki car. The Fronx also incorporates styling cues from the Baleno hatchback, such as the rising waistline with a significant hunch over the rear wheels and the roofline with a prominent dip towards the tailgate. The Fronx is 3,995mm long, 1,550mm high, and 1,765mm wide, and has a generous ground clearance of 190mm.

The Fronx shares several interior components with the Baleno, including the dashboard, seating, and equipment list. However, there are variances in textures and colors, among other things, between the two models. In terms of features, the Fronx gets Head-Up Display with Turn-by-turn navigation, 360 view camera, Wireless smartphone charger, 22.86cm (9”) HD Smart Play Pro+ infotainment system with Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, among others.

The Fronx will be available in a 1.2-litre K-series (89hp and 113 Nm) naturally aspirated petrol engine with a 5-speed manual or an AMT automatic transmission in the Nepalese market. The Fronx offers best-in-class fuel efficiency of up to 22.89* km/l and superior ride, as per the company.

The Suzuki Fronx is equipped with advanced safety features including 6 airbags, 3-point ELR seatbelts, ESP with Hill-Hold Assist & Roll Over Mitigation, ISOFIX child seat anchorages, etc.
