TANGERANG – Amidst the booming Indonesian automotive industry, PT Suzuki Indomobil Sales (SIS) has once again demonstrated its commitment to delivering quality products while simultaneously encouraging the growth of the local industry. One example is the launch of the Suzuki Fronx, a coupe-style SUV that combines modern design with cutting-edge technology, and, no less impressively, is manufactured directly in Indonesia.
Built at Suzuki's production facility in Cikarang, West Java, the Fronx is the third environmentally friendly SUV produced domestically, following the Ertiga and XL7 Hybrid. Its presence not only enriches the choices of Indonesian consumers but also symbolizes Suzuki's tangible contribution to strengthening the national automotive industry ecosystem.
Made with High Precision and Advanced Process
The Suzuki Fronx assembly process is carried out thoroughly and in detail, starting from pressing the base material to forming the frame and body structure. Plastic parts are also produced through a high-tech injection process. Next, the entire structure is precisely assembled by robots during the welding stage, ensuring the vehicle's strength and safety.
The painting stage is crucial for providing color and anti-rust protection, ensuring the Fronx not only looks impressive but also lasts. Meanwhile, in the powertrain department, the vehicle's engine is assembled with high precision. Seat production is also carried out locally in the Seat Production department, representing Suzuki's labor-intensive line in Indonesia.
After undergoing a rigorous assembly process, each Fronx must pass Final Inspection—a final test that includes body precision measurements, exhaust emission testing, and Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) functionality checks. All of this is done to maintain quality at Suzuki's global standards.
Proudly Made in Indonesia, Local Content Reaches 60 Percent
More than just locally produced, the Suzuki Fronx is also part of a concrete movement toward independence for the national automotive industry. This car has a Domestic Component Level (TKDN) of 60 percent, making it a vehicle that actively involves the domestic supporting industry.
"This is a source of pride. With this 60 percent TKDN figure, Suzuki demonstrates its commitment to supporting the growth of the local component industry," said Deputy Minister of Industry, Faisol Riza, at the launch of the Suzuki Fronx last May.
Guaranteed with the Presence of Many Dealers
Suzuki itself is a long-standing presence in the national automotive industry, having been around for over 50 years. In fact, to ensure after-sales service, this Japanese brand already has hundreds of dealerships spread across Indonesia. This makes it easy for customers to find the best service and after-sales support.
