Whenever we talk about striking coupe-SUV design, the Suzuki Fronx is one of the names that easily stands out. The model already has a sporty shape, but Suzuki has now taken things a step further with the launch of the new Fronx Sport in Malaysia.
The new version sits above the regular Fronx Hybrid and brings several visual upgrades while keeping the same mild hybrid powertrain underneath. It is priced at RM130,888, which is around Rs 30.7 lakh. The standard Fronx in Malaysia starts at RM118,888.
Price Comparison
| Variant | Price (Malaysia) |
|---|---|
| Fronx Hybrid | RM118,888 |
| Fronx Sport | RM130,888 |
Unlike India, the Fronx sold in Malaysia is imported from Indonesia as a completely built unit, which is one reason for its higher price.
Sportier Look With New Exterior Parts
The biggest changes can be seen in the design package added to the Fronx Sport.
New additions include:
- Black finished front grille
- Black Suzuki logo
- Front bumper lip extension
- Side skirts
- Large Fronx Sport graphics on the doors
- Rear diffuser
- Tailgate spoiler
These additions make the crossover look lower, wider and more aggressive than the standard version.

Bigger Wheels Available
Suzuki is also offering larger alloy wheels with the Sport variant.
| Feature | Fronx Base | Fronx Sport |
| Wheel Size | 16-inch | 17-inch |
