Naza Eastern Motors had on Friday, launched the 2026 Suzuki Fronx Sport variant. This is a new addition to the existing Suzuki Fronx B segment crossover SUV line-up here in Malaysia. It introduces a sportier appearance package together with enhanced value for customers. The new Fronx Sport is priced at RM130,888 (on the road without insurance). As for the standard Fronx, the compact SUV now comes with a new price of RM118,888 (on the road without insurance). Wayyyy cheaper than when it was initially launched.
The new Suzuki Fronx Sport receives a host of dynamic accessories making this a sportier looking variant. Notable add ons are the Front lip, Rear spoiler, Rear bumper kit, Side skirting, Left and right side stickers, Roof top wrap, 17-inch alloy wheels with Continental UltraContact UC7 tyres, Special painting for front lip, rear diffuser, side lip, foor visors and rear spoiler for the exterior.
The interior basically gets the same cabin features with the addition of a Front and rear Digital Video Recorder (DVR).
The Suzuki Fronx Sport measures 3,995mm long, 1,765mm wide and 1,550mm tall with a wheelbase of 2,520mm. It has a 1.5-litre four-cylinder naturally-aspirated petrol engine with an Integrated Starter-Generator (ISG) that outputs 103PS at 6,000rpm and 138Nm of torque at 4,400rpm. The engine is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with paddle-shifters. This makes it a mild-hybrid vehicle and I think the powertrain is quite an efficient setup without going the whole extra full electric motor, larger battery and that engine setup.
Combined with a lithium-ion hybrid battery and its 37-litre fuel tank, the Suzuki Fronx Sport is capable of a WLTP-rated range of over 700 km.
The Fronx Sport is equipped with a MacPherson strut up front and a torsion beam suspension at the rear, and offers 170mm of ground clearance.
Standard Exterior equipment on all Fronx variants includes LED headlamps with LED DRLs, LED tail lamps, with front, side and rear skid plate trim.
Inside, the Fronx Sport comes with a two-tone fabric and synthetic leather upholstery, a steering column with tilt and reach adjustments, 60:40 split-folding rear seats, wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, and wireless device charging.
Safety wise, the Suzuki Fronx Sport gets a suite of ADAS features as standard, including adaptive cruise control, lane change assist, lane departure warning, lane departure prevention, lane keep assist, blind spot monitor, rear cross traffic alert, and vehicle sway warning.
On top of that, the Fronx Sport is equipped with High Beam Assist, Hill Hold Control, ISOFIX child seat anchorages and six airbags.
The Suzuki Fronx is available in seven colour options: Rising Orange + Cool Black, Ice Grayish Blue + Cool Black, Savanna Ivory + Cool Black, Pearl Mellow Deep Red, Cool Black, Pearl Snow White, and Magma Gray. In addition, the Suzuki Fronx Sport is available in two exclusive exterior colour options – Pearl Snow White and Cool Black.
Beyond its enhanced styling and much better value proposition - being fully imported from Indonesia (CBU) , the Fronx is also backed by a 5-Star ASEAN NCAP safety rating,. The car may still be pricier than locally assembled brands, but that entry level price of under RM120K now makes it a little more competitive. It allows for those that want Japanese, and want to stand out a little, would only need to fork out a little more than a Perodua Traz or a Toyota Yaris Cross.
Fronx Sport come with a 3-year or 100,000 km vehicle warranty (whichever comes first) providing added peace of mind to Malaysian owners. Specifically for the Fronx Sport, there is also a 5-year or 100,000km battery warranty (whichever comes first).
