JAKARTA Suzuki officially launched the front line, the latest SUV model, which is now part of the Japanese big family. Interestingly, Suzuki frontx was not only launched for the Indonesian market, but was also produced locally by PT Suzuki Indomobil Motor (SIM) and was directly distributed by PT Suzuki Indomobil Sales (SIS).

In addition to enriching the choice of vehicles for Indonesian consumers, the presence of Tronx brings a bigger mission. Suzuki emphasized that this car plays a strategic role in strengthening its contribution to the national automotive industry, as well as a clear proof of Suzuki's long-term commitment in Indonesia.

Indonesia has always been an important part of the development of Suzuki technology globally. We are committed to making a positive and significant contribution to the people of Indonesia," said President Director of PT Suzuki Indomobil Sales & PT Suzuki Indomobil Motor, Minuru Amano, at the launch of Frenx in the Kuningan area, South Jakarta, Wednesday, May 28.

Tronx comes as a five-passenger couple SUV that combines dynamic design with the latest technology. Among them, the Suzuki Safety Support driving assistance system and 1,500cc hybrid engines that prioritize fuel efficiency. This car also strengthens the portfolio of Suzuki environmentally friendly vehicles that supports decarbonization efforts.

In terms of convenience, the Furnx cabin is designed to be spacious, quiet, and modern, complete with an entertainment system that is already integrated with smartphones. Not only that, all variants have been equipped with six airbags as standards, making security a top priority.

Not only for the domestic market, but frontx is also positioned as a global model that plays an important role in Suzuki's expansion in Southeast Asia. Produced entirely at the Suzuki Cikarang factory, West Java, this car marks Suzuki Indonesia's commitment as a production base as well as an exporter.

In its production process, Suzuki applies high quality standards as well as the use of local components that have exceeded the minimum limit according to government's Low Carbon Emission Vehicle (LCEV) regulations. This step not only strengthens the national supply chain, but also contributes to the growth of the domestic industry.

"Fronx is part of our new chapter in Indonesia. More than just products, Funx is a symbol of innovation, efficiency, and sustainable collaboration," said Amano.

Interestingly, the Furnx project is also used as a means of transferring knowledge and skills to local workers. Through the training and development process of human resources, Suzuki hopes that the presence of Bronx can build a more mature and highly competitive automotive ecosystem.

The entire manufacturing process, starting from the selection of raw materials to distribution to consumers, is carried out with strict quality control. In addition, a large sales network ensures the availability of service services and spare parts that are easily accessible and affordable.

The presence of Suzuki Furnx is proof that the collaboration between innovation, local production, and increasing human resource capacity is able to provide added value not only for companies, but also for society and the national economy at large.
