Suzuki Fronx GLX Plus Review: Outstanding ADAS, Price 649 Million

Suzuki Fronx GLX Plus is becoming a typical example of the wave of "popularization" of advanced driving assistance technology (ADAS) in Vietnam. At 649 million VND, the highest version of this A-size SUV is equipped with a series of active safety features commonly found in the upper segment such as generation II automatic emergency braking, lane keeping assist and adaptive cruise control.

In the context of cars in the 600-700 million VND range simultaneously adding ADAS, Fronx GLX Plus raises a clear question: should users prioritize technology or compromise between technology and size/segment? The article focuses on objectively evaluating the ADAS package, price positioning and actual usage value based on published data.

Positioning as an A-size SUV, emphasizing technology

Positioned in the A-segment SUV segment, the Fronx GLX Plus has the highest price of 649 million VND, becoming the most expensive name in the group. The difference of 50 million VND compared to the Plus version with the extended ADAS package shows that Suzuki chooses the "pay for technology" approach instead of just upgrading the decoration.

From a market perspective, this positioning helps the Fronx GLX Plus compete on active safety and driving assistance rather than on size. Urban users – the core target of the A-segment – directly benefit from lane keeping assist, automatic braking and blind spot warning in dense traffic.

Cockpit and experience: HUD, focused support utilities

The top version is equipped with a head-up display (HUD). HUD combined with ADAS helps reduce the time of taking eyes off the road, increasing situational awareness when the system warns of lane departure or rear cross traffic. Details of materials, space and seat configuration are not published in the source, so the article only records equipment directly related to safety and driving assistance.

Performance: Hybrid for maximum efficiency

The Fronx is an A-class hybrid SUV (according to published information). Power, torque or acceleration parameters are not stated, but in principle, the hybrid system usually supports optimal urban mobility thanks to its smooth and economical operation depending on conditions. Detailed performance evaluation requires independent test data or full specifications.

ADAS and active safety: core features

The ADAS package on the Fronx GLX Plus includes the following features:

Automatic Emergency Braking II (DSBS II): provides braking support when there is a risk of a frontal collision.
Lane Departure Warning (LDP) and Lane Keeping Assist (LKA): warnings and mild interventions to help keep the vehicle in its lane.
Adaptive cruise control (ACC): maintains the set speed and distance to the vehicle in front within system limits.
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM): warns of vehicles in blind spots.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA): assists when reversing out of parking spaces.

Category	Equipment on Fronx GLX Plus
Automatic emergency braking	DSBS II
Lane Keeping/Lane Departure Warning	LKA/LDP
Cruise control	ACC
Blind spot monitoring	BSM
Rear Cross Traffic Alert	RCTA
Head-up display	HUD (highest version)

Price and competitors: compete with technology in the range of 600-700 million

Many popular car models at similar price points already have ADAS, creating a new technological level in the popular segment:

Car model	Reference price	ADAS Notes (by source)
Skoda Kushaq	From 599 million VND	There are some ADAS features on both versions.
Geely Coolray Flagship	628 million VND	ADAS package, notably with smart parking assist
Omoda C5 Flagship	669 million VND	ADAS equipment
BYD Atto 2	669 million VND	ADAS equipment
Suzuki Swift	569 million VND	ADAS equipment
Honda City (3 versions)	From 499 million VND	With ADAS
Toyota Vios G	545 million VND	With ADAS

Compared to the above competitors, Fronx GLX Plus has a price close to that of a B-size SUV, but in return, it has a dense ADAS equipment level in segment A. Users need to consider priorities: safety technology even in small cars, or space/size at a similar price range.

Technology roadmap in Vietnam: VinFast and Bosch promote popularization

In the popular electric vehicle segment, VinFast has integrated many ADAS technologies on models such as VF 5, VF 6 and said that phase one of the ADAS/AD development roadmap has been completed, ready to put ADAS Level 2 into mass production. The company aims to develop ADAS L2++ and L3 in the 2026–2027 period, aiming for more autonomous operation in urban areas when integrating high-resolution maps and a unified sensor platform. With Level 3, this is not completely self-driving; the driver must be ready to intervene and commercialization depends on legal regulations.

In parallel, Bosch introduced a modular software architecture that allows manufacturers to flexibly deploy personalized driving features, using real-time data and connected maps to predict risks. A highlight is the Easy Turn Assist feature that optimizes steering, braking and suspension systems to reduce turning radius. In addition to cars, Bosch also provides safety solutions for motorcycles such as the ABS anti-lock braking system.

Conclusion: safety technology is the main selling point

With the Fronx GLX Plus, Suzuki focuses on active safety and driving assistance – features that were previously exclusive to high-end cars. At 649 million VND, the price is close to the upper segment but in return is a full ADAS package in an A-size SUV, suitable for customers who prioritize technology and urban mobility.
