What do people find appealing about these crossovers? They’re basically a dynamically worse version of the equivalent hatchback.

High seating position, they think crossovers are safer, better ground clearance and handle potholes better.
Crossovers usually have worse build quality(more plasticky) compared to the hatchback/Sedan equivalent but people don’t seem to mind.
Hmmm, coming soon?
Saw one in traffic today and thought I was hallucinating. I was like, "what is this Suzuki SUV thing that I've never heard of?"

At this point I am actually annoyed with Suzuki, Still the same 1.5L NA engine, no other options engines available in South Africa. What a disappointment.

Suzuki Fronx (2023) Price & Specs
The new Suzuki Fronx has officially touched down in South Africa, picking up where the Vitara Brezza left off. Here’s pricing for this fresh-faced coupé-style crossover…
Suzuki Auto South Africa has expanded its range by welcoming a new coupé-style crossover into the fold. Meet the new Suzuki Fronx, which slots into the local line-up below the Grand Vitara and indirectly takes over from the outgoing Vitara Brezza.
Revealed in India at the start of 2023, the Fronx is based on the Baleno hatchback but gains extra ride height (with a ground clearance of 170 mm), a “coupé-like sloping roofline” and other distinct styling elements (such as faux skid-plates, front and rear), along with model-specific suspension and steering set-ups. The Fronx measures 3 995 mm long, 1 765 mm wide and stands 1 550 mm tall, with a wheelbase of 2 520 mm. The luggage compartment is able to swallow 304 litres.
In South Africa, the new Indian-built Suzuki Fronx range numbers 4 derivatives, with pricing running from R279 900 to R335 900. The local range effectively mirrors that of the Baleno, comprising GL and GLX derivatives.
All models are powered by the Japanese firm’s familiar naturally aspirated 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder K15B petrol engine, which here generates 77 kW and 138 Nm (matching the peak outputs of the same engine used in the likes of the Baleno, Ciaz, Ertiga, Grand Vitara and outgoing Vitara Brezza).
The Fronx is offered locally with either a 5-speed manual gearbox or a 4-speed automatic transmission. The former bears a claimed combined fuel economy of 5.5 L/100 km, while the 2-pedal version sips at a 5.7 L/100 km, according to Suzuki. Interestingly, neither the atmospheric 1.2-litre motor nor the turbocharged 1.0-litre mild-hybrid powertrain offered in India is on the menu for South Africa (at launch, anyway).
The GL specification includes items such as black 16-inch alloy wheels (wrapped on 195/60 R16 tyres), automatic LED headlamps, a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system (with wireless Apple CarPlay), a reversing camera, automatic climate control, cruise control, a leather-trimmed steering wheel and roof rails. The dual-tone cabin (featuring black and burgundy trim) scores a trio of USB ports (2 Type-A and a single Type-C)

Yeah that is very disappointing, I can’t believe they are actually using the same engine for their Entire line up. The only thing that differentiates Suzukis is the body styling at this point. The interiors are all the same, the engines are all the same in every model. Just boring.
