Suzuki Cars Malaysia has introduced the new Suzuki Fronx Sport, alongside the updated Suzuki Jimny Allgrip Plus and Jimny Rhino Plus in Malaysia.
At the same time, Suzuki has also reduced the price of the standard Fronx Hybrid. The mild-hybrid crossover, which was launched in Malaysia last November, is now priced at RM 118,888 on-the-road without insurance. The new Fronx Sport is priced at RM 130,888 on-the-road without insurance, positioning it RM 12,000 above the standard Fronx Hybrid.
The Fronx Sport is based on the existing Fronx Hybrid, but adds a more aggressive exterior package. This includes a front bumper lower lip extension, side skirts, a blacked-out front grille and logo, optional 17-inch alloy wheels with 215/50R17 Continental UltraContact UC7 tyres, a rear diffuser, tailgate-mounted spoiler and Fronx Sport side decals.
Mechanically, the Fronx Sport remains unchanged. It continues to use Suzuki’s K15C 1.5-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine with an integrated starter generator (ISG). The mild-hybrid powertrain produces 103 PS at 6,000 rpm and 138 Nm at 4,400 rpm, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission driving the front wheels.
Suspension setup also remains unchanged, with MacPherson struts at the front and a torsion beam layout at the rear. Braking is handled by ventilated front discs and rear drums.
Inside, the Fronx Sport carries over the same dashboard design as the standard Fronx Hybrid, but adds a 4K front and rear dashcam. Other equipment includes a leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel with paddle shifters, tilt and telescopic steering adjustment, a nine-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as wireless phone charging.
Safety equipment is also carried over from the standard Fronx Hybrid. This includes six airbags, electronic stability control, ABS with EBD and brake assist, hill hold assist, high beam assist and Isofix child seat anchors.
The ADAS suite includes adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitor, rear cross traffic alert, lane change assist, lane departure warning, lane departure prevention, lane keep assist and vehicle sway warning.
The Suzuki Fronx Sport is fully imported (CBU) from Indonesia and is offered in two colour options, Pearl Snow White with Cool Black, and Cool Black. It is covered by a three-year or 100,000 km vehicle warranty, along with a five-year or 100,000 km battery warranty.
Alongside the Fronx Sport, Suzuki Cars Malaysia has also launched the updated Jimny Allgrip Plus and Jimny Rhino Plus three-door variants. The Jimny Allgrip Plus is priced at RM 158,900, while the Jimny Rhino Plus is priced at RM 173,900. Both prices are on-the-road without insurance. The Jimny Allgrip Plus is priced identically to the existing Jimny Allgrip Pro, which continues to be sold in Malaysia while stocks last.
Both updated Jimny variants receive additional safety, comfort and convenience features. These include a reverse camera with millimetre-wave radar, Dual Sensor Brake Support II, lane departure warning and prevention, weaving alert, adaptive cruise control, automatic high beam, emergency stop signal, side and curtain airbags, front and rear parking sensors with clearance sonar, electrically foldable and heated side mirrors, and a nine-inch display audio head unit.
The Jimny Rhino Plus builds on the Allgrip Plus with several additional exterior features. These include 15-inch polished alloy wheels, a spare wheel cover with Rhino logo, front grille, front bumper under garnish, side under garnish, door visors, and red front and rear mud flaps.
Powering both new Jimny variants is the same K15B 1.5-litre VVT naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine, producing 102 PS and 130 Nm. This is paired with a four-speed automatic transmission and a part-time four-wheel drive system with 2H, 4H and 4L modes. The Jimny continues to use a ladder-frame chassis with rigid axle suspension, while rolling stock consists of 195/80R15 tyres on 15-inch alloy wheels.
Standard equipment on both Allgrip Plus and Rhino Plus includes automatic LED headlamps with washers, auto high beam, a leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel, tilt-adjustable steering column, fabric seats, 50:50 split-folding rear seats and electric windows.
The nine-inch touchscreen infotainment system supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with Bluetooth, USB, auxiliary audio input and radio.
Colour options for the Jimny include Kinetic Yellow with Bluish Black Pearl and Chiffon Ivory Metallic with Bluish Black Pearl, both priced with a RM 1,000 surcharge. Other colours include Jungle Green, Medium Grey, Bluish Black Pearl and Pure White Pearl.
For Malaysia, the updated Suzuki Jimny Allgrip Plus and Jimny Rhino Plus are fully imported from Japan and come with a three-year or 100,000 km warranty.
