A word from the editorial department about Toyota India’s new “Urban Cruiser Tizer”

Personally, I found Toyota’s new Urban Cruiser Tizer to be a truly attractive model. In particular, I find this design and price really appealing. If it appears in the Japanese market in the future along with Suzuki’s FRONX, it makes me wonder if a new market will be created. Recently, overseas-produced models have been brought to Japan. For example, Honda’s “WR-V” was originally an overseas model, but it has now been introduced in Japan. For this reason, there may be a tendency for overseas models to be introduced in Japan in the future.

The Suzuki FRONX uses Suzuki’s latest Heartect platform, with an overall length of 3,995mm, an overall width of 1,765mm, an overall height of 1,550mm, and a wheelbase of 2,520mm. With the same wheelbase, it is 5 mm longer, 20 mm wider and 50 mm higher than the Suzuki Baleno. The footprint of the Fronx is almost the same as that of the Suzuki Brezza.

About the exterior of Suzuki’s new “FRONX”

Fronx is targeting “young pioneers who want to stand out.” The front end is similar to the Grand Vitara with split headlights, a chrome insert in the grille, and an aluminum-style skid plate. 17-inch aluminum wheels, prominent fenders and rear shoulders, and a sportier profile. At the rear, a sloping rear glass capped by a roof spoiler is Suzuki’s first attempt at the coupe-SUV trend. This model features full-width LED taillights and a sizable aluminum-style skid plate that doubles as a diffuser.
