Suzuki Fronx gets 5-star rating from ASEAN NCAP

MANILA: The Suzuki Fronx has received a five-star rating from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) New Car Assessment Program (NCAP), under the organization’s stricter 2021-2025 protocol. 

Per the Japanese carmaker, the crossover — manufactured in Indonesia — achieved “outstanding performance” in all four categories (Adult Occupant Protection, Child Occupant Protection, Safety Assist Technologies, and Motorcyclist Safety) used to measure a new car’s safety rating. 

In addition, the company highlights the car’s structural design, advanced driver-assist systems, and comprehensive safety equipment as key factors that helped it secure the highest rating given by the non-profit institution.

Here are some of its notable safety technologies:

The Suzuki Fronx is built on the company’s HEARTECT platform, which the brand noted, was designed with high-rigidity materials that intelligently absorb and disperse impact energy to reduce cabin deformation during collisions. 

In addition, the structure is complemented by six airbags that cover the front, side, and curtain areas to surround occupants with all-around protection during unforeseen impacts. 

Further, the Suzuki Fronx packs standard ISOFIX anchor points and top tether hooks, which answers the needs of car buyers who prioritize the safety of their families. To top it all off, each of the seats in the crossover’s cabin is fitted with seatbelt reminders, reinforcing safety as a daily habit for every passenger, from front to back.

Other standard safety features include anti-lock braking, electronic stability control, electronic brake-force distribution, and hill hold control. 

Bolstering the aforementioned safety staples is a suite of advanced driver assist systems, dubbed Suzuki Safety Support. These include technologies like forward collision warning, autonomous emergency braking, lane departure warning, lane departure prevention, and lane keeping assist. 

“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 five-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,” the company wrote in a press release. 

“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,” it added.
