CFAO Motors has unveiled two vehicles into the Kenyan market – the Suzuki Grand Vitara and the Suzuki FronX. The introduction of these vehicles seeks to diversify Suzuki vehicle offerings in the new passenger vehicle market.
The Suzuki Grand Vitara, a model synonymous with adventure, has remained a trusted companion for families and explorers in the world. But in September, it revealed a new face to its Kenyan enthusiasts. The all-new Grand Vitara a rugged yet refined SUV, promises to taking adventures to new levels.
It comes with a semi hybrid system that improves fuel efficiency. It is also fitted with Heads Up Display, 360 Surround View camera, a wireless charger, a panoramic sunroof, leather seats, and six airbags to for safety. This SUV is not just a vehicle but a mixture of comfort and technology rolled into one. The vehicle has two variants; the 4×2 and the 4×4 for off-road escapades.
But before we delve deeper, let me introduce the the Suzuki Fronx – new model in the Kenyan market. This mid-size SUV promised a stress-free urban driving experience, making it the perfect companion for urban drivers. It is also fitted with Heads Up Display, 360 Surround View camera, two-tone fabric seats, and six airbags. The Fronx embodies elegance with a hint of adventure.
Both the Grand Vitara and the Fronx have a 1500cc petrol engine. And while the Grand Vitara’s attraction lies in its versatility, the Fronx, a 4×2 vehicle, is designed for those who prefer style.
Jagruti Joshi, the General Manager for Suzuki, delved into the specs of this dynamic duo. She described the Grand Vitara as an “embodiment of Suzuki’s commitment to excellence, offering unmatched performance, safety, and comfort.”
“The Fronx, on the other hand, is a 5-seater, petrol-powered passenger car that appeals to the trendy customer. Whether for the daily commute or off-road family excursions, it promises elegance and a striking design,” she explained.
With the launch of these vehicles, CFAO Motors Kenya, a product of the merger of two automotive giants to form CFAO Motors, demonstrated the power of synergy as it aims to become the preferred partner for mobility solutions in Kenya.
Chris Ndala, CFAO Motors Kenya Deputy MD – Multibrand Division, highlighted the promising state of the new car market in Kenya, driven by a growing middle class and an increasing awareness of the long-term benefits of zero-mileage vehicles.
Chris Ndala assured that CFAO Motors Kenya would continue to invest in after-sales services and spare parts availability across the country. They aimed to provide a seamless ownership experience, from purchase to after-sales care, making customer convenience, satisfaction, and peace of mind top priorities.
