SINGAPORE – In a perfect world, small cars should sell like hotcakes in a small city-state like Singapore. Alas, Singaporeans are partial to bigger vehicles, swayed by the notion that such cars make more sense in a high-taxation environment.
Undeterred, Suzuki has brought in a new small car: the Fronx. Supposedly a fusion of the words “frontier” and “next”, this made-in-India subcompact is 3,995mm long, 1,765mm wide and 1,550mm tall, with a 2,520mm wheelbase. That makes it one of the smallest cars on the island.
