Introduction: The Fronx Just Got Future-Ready—But Not Here Yet
The Suzuki Fronx is no stranger to the spotlight, especially with its coupe-inspired design and global ambitions. But now, it’s making news for something bigger—safety. Yes, you heard that right. In a bold new move, Suzuki has rolled out Level 2 ADAS for the Fronx in Indonesia, marking a significant leap in its feature list. And while global customers get a taste of this upgrade, Indian buyers are still waiting in the wings. So what’s changing, and more importantly—what’s next for India?
A Smarter Fronx for the Global Stage
The Indonesian-spec Suzuki Fronx now features Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). We’re talking about tech that’s usually reserved for premium segments—Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring, and even Electronic Stability Control. It’s clear Suzuki is pushing the Fronx into serious safety territory.
Made in Cikarang, Bound for the World
Manufactured at Suzuki’s Cikarang plant in Indonesia, this Fronx variant is part of the company’s global game plan. With exports already spanning 70+ countries, including Japan, Latin America, and Africa, the Fronx is no longer just a regional player—it’s a global compact SUV with ambition.
India: Still Waiting, but Not for Long?
While Indian buyers get the Fronx with a choice of 1.0L turbo or 1.2L K-series NA petrol engines, they currently miss out on ADAS. But with the safety-conscious Indian buyer maturing rapidly and competitors upping their game, Suzuki is expected to bring the ADAS tech to India soon—especially after its solid Japan NCAP score of 84%.
Powertrains & Global Configurations
While Indonesia gets 1.5L K15B and K15C mild-hybrid options, India sticks with smaller engines to balance pricing. However, the 6-speed AT and turbo combo in India already appeals to performance seekers.

As safety becomes a bigger part of the car-buying decision, Suzuki India may have no choice but to match the global Fronx’s intelligence. Until then, we watch—and wait.
