Re: Suzuki's New Premium Hatchback Coming Up

The hatch looks nice and aggressive, but is it the production version?
The SUV is more like a mix and match of VW Taigun and Vitara. It's not at all aggressive and appealing.

Re: Suzuki's New Premium Hatchback Coming Up

More on the iM 4 - note the YRA premium hatch nearby - very spacious as seen externally.

YBA ( maruti's Ecosport rival) seems different and hence iM 4 seem not India bound.

Within a few hours from Now - the cars will be unveiled ( 3 pm CET)

Re: Suzuki's New Premium Hatchback Coming Up

Maruti Suzuki's premium hatchback on test in India. Could be named Fronx.

Maruti Suzuki Fronx / YRA come three engine options, a K10C – 998cc BOOSTERJET engine with automatic/manual transmission, a K12 engine which is seen in the Swift and a D13- 1248cc 90ps diesel motor. The K10C engine is likely to get the Start-Stop technology while the K12C spec 1242 CC engine might be for export only.

Maruti Suzuki's premium hatch being tested along with Elite i20.




Based on the re-engineered global compact platform (made lighter and more rigid by improved floorpan design), the YRA will be positioned above the Swift as a spacious and more practical alternative. The simplistic design is a fine amalgamation of a hatchback and a station wagon.


With the Elite i20, VW Polo and new Honda Jazz on the hit list, the YRA can’t afford to skimp on equipment so expect an elaborate list including a touchscreen infotainment system, multiple airbags, ABS, EBD, BA, ESP, automatic climate control and the like.

Re: Suzuki's New Premium Hatchback Coming Up

Maruti Suzuki begins production of YRA / Fronx.
Will be likely a late 2015 release, will take on Hyundai's Elite and Honda's Jazz.

Possible of this being a a leading fuel efficient hatchback in India. Maruti Suzuki has set a whopping Rs. 100 crore budget for advertising campaigns of the YRA / Fronx.



When launched, the Fronx will come with 3 engine options:
•K10C, 998cc, Boosterjet petrol motor with automatic & manual gearbox (On a later stage)
•K12 petrol motor from the Swift
•D13, 1.3L DDiS diesel motor with 90 PS

Reports also mention that the Fronx would be the widest hatchback in the segment, hence offering a more comfortable cabin.

Exteriors:
Noticeably different from all Maruti products currently on sale, fresh design
Honeycomb mesh front grille extending towards the headlamps
Headlamps look slightly similar to those on the Swift, but have their share of differences
Round fog lamps in a plastic housing
Regular, horizontal air dams
Turn indicator mounted on power folding ORVM
Side body moulding
Chrome door handles
Gloss black B & C pillar
Noticeable rear quarter glass
16″ rim size
Rear wash and wipe
Spoiler on the rear windscreen
Small tail lamp unit, doesn’t look like an LED unit
Reflectors on the rear bumper
Much bigger boot space than the Swift
Flat dashboard top
Big infotainment screen in the centre
Centre console in silver shade
Automatic climate control
Blue and white backlit instrument cluster
MID in the instrument cluster
What’s inside:
Steering wheel with audio and telephone controls, probably cruise control as well
Silver centre console
Automatic climate control
Dual din stereo head unit
Vertical AC vents in the centre
Engine start / stop button
2-pot instrument cluster
MID in the instrument cluster
Leather wrapped, much better looking gear knob
Automatic gear stick suggests a petrol automatic variant
All-black interiors
Black and grey seat upholstery

Sure, it will. I am sure Maruti is already itching to take the crown back from Jazz. They will in all probability give taller gear ratios compared to Ciaz and the lighter weight will easily pull the FE close to 27.5 kmpl for the 1.3 DDiS variant.

When launched, the Fronx will come with 3 engine options:
•K10C, 998cc, Boosterjet petrol motor with automatic & manual gearbox (On a later stage)
•K12 petrol motor from the Swift
•D13, 1.3L DDiS diesel motor with 90 PS

The K10C turbo pertol is the only one that catches my attention. Eagerly waiting to see what and how it is. I drive a Dzire with the K12 motor - it is good, but not very exciting. 1.3 DDiS - yet another car with the engine.

Exteriors:
16″ rim size
Small tail lamp unit, doesn’t look like an LED unit
Big infotainment screen in the centre
Steering wheel with audio and telephone controls, probably cruise control as well
Automatic gear stick suggests a petrol automatic variant

Since this car will be priced below Ciaz, I do not expect any features absent in Ciaz to make it to the Fronx (by the way, what stupid name - nice competition with Creta for the worst name of a car launched in 2015).

• R16 might come in the top variants like the Ciaz.
• Tail lamp had a single row LED units (not very great looking) in the spied cars
• Probably will get the touch-screen AVN unit from Ciaz ZDi+
• Ciaz does not get this, right. I do not expect Fronx to get it either.
• Hope it is neither the AMT nor the stone-age 4-speed unit, hope they come with the CVT unit which was earlier rumored to be present in Ciaz

Is it only me or the car actually looks toy-ish?? I somehow did not like the renders - maybe the car will look better in flesh. I mean very quirky design with too many curves and flowing design - will shame Hyundai's fluidic design principle.

Here is the Car spied undisguised. Speculated to launch in September and will riva Hyundai's Elite - the market leader in the premium hatch.

Re: Suzuki's New Premium Hatchback Coming Up

Reminds me of GMs Optra SRV. Though they claim car is wide,I am not finding the difference in seating.Back seat doesn't look spacious. Pricing will talk for them.
