  • The all-new Suzuki Fronx secured a coveted 5-star safety rating from the ASEAN New Car Assessment Program (ASEAN NCAP) under its 2021–2025 assessment protocol.
Suzuki has achieved another major milestone as the all-new Fronx secures a coveted 5-star safety rating from the ASEAN New Car Assessment Program (ASEAN NCAP) under its 2021–2025 assessment protocol. This top rating is a powerful validation of Suzuki’s commitment to delivering vehicles that not only excite, but also protect the growing needs of today’s families and young professionals.
The tested MY25 Fronx model, manufactured in Indonesia, scored an impressive 77.70 points overall — an achievement that reflects its outstanding performance across Adult Occupant Protection, Child Occupant Protection, Safety Assist Technologies, and Motorcyclist Safety. Its strong structural design, advanced driver-assist systems, and comprehensive safety equipment all contributed to this 5-star result.
At the heart of the Fronx’s safety performance is its robust HEARTECT platform, designed with high-rigidity materials that intelligently absorb and disperse impact energy to reduce cabin deformation during collisions. The structure is complemented by six airbags—covering the front, side, and curtain areas—to surround occupants with all-around protection during unforeseen impacts.
For families, child safety is an absolute priority. The Fronx features standard ISOFIX anchor points and top tether hooks, ensuring child seats can be securely and confidently installed. All seats are equipped with seatbelt reminders, reinforcing safety as a daily habit for every passenger, from front to back.
A large part of the Fronx’s 5-star achievement lies in its suite of Suzuki Safety Support technologies. These intelligent systems are designed to prevent accidents before they happen. Features such as Forward Collision Warning, Autonomous Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Departure Prevention, and Lane Keep Assist help the driver stay alert and in control at all times. On busy roads, Blind Spot Detection and Rear Cross Traffic Alert provide crucial awareness of surrounding vehicles, especially motorcycles—one of the key considerations evaluated by ASEAN NCAP.
For everyday driving confidence, the Fronx is equipped with Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), and Hill Hold Control, all working together to maintain stability and traction on varying terrains and sudden road situations. Visibility is further enhanced with Auto High Beam, helping drivers maintain optimal lighting without causing glare to oncoming vehicles.
For young professionals navigating city streets and weekend adventures, and for parents prioritizing the safety of their loved ones, the all-new Fronx delivers a reassuring blend of protection, intelligence, and reliability. Its recent ASEAN NCAP 5-star recognition is not just a badge of honor — it is a clear statement that Suzuki is committed to empowering every journey with unmatched safety.
With the All-New Suzuki Fronx, peace of mind comes standard — ensuring that every destination is reached securely, confidently, and with the people who matter most.
