Suzuki has introduced the Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) feature in the Fronx in the Indonesian market. It is the second country to manufacture the Fronx after India. The compact SUV is sold in over 70 countries around the world, including Africa and Latin America. Will India get the state-of-the-art ADAS safety feature? At the moment, Maruti Suzuki has not revealed anything on that front, but the automobile manufacturer is working on a hybrid version of the Fronx.

Suzuki Fronx: Engine Specs
The Indonesian Fronx model is powered by the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol mild hybrid powertrains, which are available in the Brezza and the Grand Vitara. The 1.5-litre has an output of 100 bhp and gets two transmission options — the 5-speed manual or the 6-speed automatic torque converter. The Fronx in India, on the other hand, is available in two engine options — the 1.2-litre naturally aspirated or the 1-litre turbo petrol. The former is available with either a 5-speed manual or a 5-step AMT, while the latter gets the same manual gearbox or the 6-speed AT.
