+1 i agree with him, you work within Suzuki group?Main spanner operator says K15C
leka man, nice to knowYes. In new vehicle sales
PM me lolIndications are that it will be R20k to R30K more than the current Baleno. We are getting around 28 Fronx's and XL6's today to prepare for head office for the launch. We are not allowed to take any photo's.

Main differences on the GLX is leather interior, sunroof, wireless phone charging, different mags, 360 degree camera system, 2 tone color options etcQuick q - the Grand Vitara has me confused with the pricing.
What's the difference between the two auto models? The engine and automatic dimming on the rearview mirror? I'm seeing marginally lower specs on the 60k more expensive GLX vs the GL.... What's that about?

I used the comparison feature here:
Grand Vitara
Choose the right car for you, whatever your needs Suzuki has a stunning car that suits your style, your pocket and will go with you on many adventures.www.suzukiauto.co.za
Why would a dual injector engine have less output than the single? Also, no mention of auto start-stop, was that not introduced with the new Grand Vitara? Is the K15C also not paired with a 6-speed AT? I think Suzuki have dropped the ball here somewhere...
Management have been told October 2023also, when is 5 door Jimny coming ?
Wow, OK. Now if I was about to buy, I would have totally been put off based on what the website showed. The website guys need to fix that lol.Main differences on the GLX is leather interior, sunroof, wireless phone charging, different mags, 360 degree camera system, 2 tone color options etc
forwards message to india, yip they dont care.....Wow, OK. Now if I was about to buy, I would have totally been put off based on what the website showed. The website guys need to fix that lol.
Check the 'full specs' section on the site - there's literally no difference between the two. If you use the comparison feature, the engines are different, but that's not under full specs. Terrible.
Also, I assume these aren't leather seats on the Grand Vitara GLX, but fake leather?

2023 Maruti Fronx Review - Team-BHP
Maruti Fronx Pros
• Smart looking crossover with sharp & attractive styling
• Feels better built than some other Maruti cars
• 1.0L Boosterjet turbo-petrol engine is quick and has minimal turbo lag. Driveability is satisfactory
• Smart Hybrid system ensures excellent fuel efficiency. ARAI = 20.01 to 22.89 kmpl
• Nicely tuned suspension glides over small bumps, potholes and road imperfections
• User-friendly cabin with loads of space! Can easily seat 5 adults (unlike many competitors)
• Long feature list includes LED auto headlamps, LED DRLs, cruise control, 9-inch touchscreen HU paired with an Arkamys sound system, 360-degree camera, head-up display, rear A/C vents, wireless charging, footwell lighting, tilt & telescopic steering adjustment, connected car features etc
• Safety kit includes 6 airbags, 3-point seatbelts for all, ESP, traction control, hill-hold assist and ISOFIX
• Maruti’s excellent after-sales service, wide dealer network & fuss-free ownership experiences
Maruti Fronx Cons
• On the inside, it’s almost identical to the regular Baleno. Differentiation should’ve been more
• Quality of some plastic parts and fabric upholstery is mediocre
• 1.0L turbo-petrol although quick, is not exciting enough for enthusiasts
• 308-litre boot is among the smallest in the segment
• No diesel option like some rivals
• Rear seat’s under-thigh support is lacking for taller passengers
• A few missing features like sunroof, TPMS, rear armrest, drive modes, auto wipers and front parking sensors
• Lesser height means, despite the smart styling, it doesn’t have the road presence of typical crossovers

Mercedes is using fake leather in their cars why would you think a Suzuki built in India has real leather? Ofcourse it’s vinyl just like most “low end” manufacturers.Wow, OK. Now if I was about to buy, I would have totally been put off based on what the website showed. The website guys need to fix that lol.

Sure, just don't call it leather.Mercedes is using fake leather in their cars why would you think a Suzuki built in India has real leather? Ofcourse it’s vinyl just like most “low end” manufacturers.
Agree. Call it plastic because that is exactly what it is. It will probably hold up better than what you get in a Mercedes though.Sure, just don't call it leather.
Not sure about that. My daughter's C class is pretty decent.Agree. Call it plastic because that is exactly what it is. It will probably hold up better than what you get in a Mercedes though.
Yeah if you have never experienced The pinnacle of German engineering you will probably think that.Not sure about that. My daughter's C class is pretty decent.
