Suzuki’s new Fronx Sport SUV, packed with a 1.5L engine and sporty styling, debuts in Malaysia. Learn if it will soon arrive in Vietnam – read more now!
Suzuki Malaysia has just unveiled the limited‑edition Suzuki Fronx Sport, a bolder, more aggressive take on the brand’s popular B‑segment crossover. The model debuted alongside the Jimny AllGrip Plus and Jimny Rhino Plus, signalling Suzuki’s push for sportier styling across its lineup.
Price and Availability
The Fronx Sport is priced at RM 130,888, roughly US$28,200. At the same time, Suzuki trimmed the price of the standard Fronx Hybrid to RM 118,888 to keep the range competitive in the Malaysian market.
Exterior Design – A Sportier Persona
Compared with the regular Fronx sold in Vietnam, the Sport version adds a host of visual upgrades. A lowered front splitter creates a more planted look, while the side skirts are reshaped for a muscular stance. The entire front grille and Suzuki badge are finished in glossy black, complementing a rear‑deck spoiler and under‑body diffuser.
Signature sport decals run along the flanks, and buyers can choose 17‑inch alloy wheels wrapped in Continental UltraContact UC7 tyres (215/50R17) instead of the standard 16‑inch units.
Interior and Technology
Inside, the cabin retains the original layout but receives a notable tech boost. A high‑resolution 4K dual‑camera system records both front and rear views, enhancing safety and parking assistance. Other premium features include a three‑spoke leather‑wrapped steering wheel with paddle shifters, a 4‑way adjustable steering column, and a 9‑inch touchscreen that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a convenient wireless phone charger.
Powertrain
The Fronx Sport is powered by Suzuki’s 1.5‑litre K15C naturally aspirated inline‑four engine, delivering 103 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 138 Nm of torque at 4,400 rpm. Power is sent to the front wheels through a six‑speed automatic transmission.
Colour Options
Two exterior colour packs are offered: a pearl‑white body with a Cool Black roof, or an all‑black Cool Black scheme.
Will the Fronx Sport Reach Vietnam?
Suzuki currently sells the Fronx in Vietnam in three trims, priced between VND 520 million and VND 649 million. The model competes with A‑segment SUVs such as the Kia Sonet, Hyundai Venue and Toyota Raize, rather than the larger B‑segment rivals it faces in Malaysia.
If the Sport variant performs well in its home market, Suzuki could consider bringing it to Vietnam. Enthusiasts should keep an eye on official announcements and local dealer updates.
Conclusion
The new Fronx Sport adds a dose of athletic flair to Suzuki’s compact SUV offering without compromising the practicality that has made the Fronx popular. Whether it will soon appear on Vietnamese roads remains to be seen, but the chances are growing as Suzuki expands its sporty portfolio.
