Suzuki showcased the Forex flex fuel concept at the Japan Mobility Show 2025, promoting ethanol-based mobility as part of its carbon-neutral strategy.
Suzuki has taken a significant step towards diversifying clean mobility solutions with the unveiling of the FrontEx Flex Fuel (FFV) Concept at the Japan Mobility Show 2025. The concept reflects the brand’s commitment to developing sustainable technologies beyond electric vehicles. Based on the popular Suzuki Fronx, a compact crossover already well established in India, the FFV Concept is designed to run on ethanol-blended fuel, aligning with global and regional efforts to reduce carbon emissions.
The Fronx FFV Concept embodies Suzuki’s vision of “environmental technologies for a brighter future”, demonstrating how flexible-fuel systems can co-exist alongside electric and hybrid solutions in the transition toward carbon neutrality.

A new step towards clean mobility
The Fronx Flex Fuel Concept operates on an ethanol-based fuel blend, which can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional petrol. Ethanol is a renewable biofuel derived from agricultural sources, and its adoption could help countries like India reduce dependence on imported oil while supporting local agricultural economies.
Suzuki’s decision to showcase the Fronx FFV underlines its multi-pronged approach to sustainability. Rather than relying solely on electric vehicles, Suzuki aims to offer a range of eco-friendly options suited to different markets and infrastructure capabilities. This strategy reflects the brand’s practical understanding that the journey to carbon neutrality will vary by region depending on available resources and energy ecosystem.
Built for India’s future fuel landscape
The FrontX FFV Concept holds particular relevance for India, one of Suzuki’s largest markets. The Government of India is actively promoting E20 (20% ethanol blending) fuel as part of its biofuel policy, with plans to increase the ethanol blending in the coming years. With the Frontex already being a high-selling model in India, a flex-fuel version could seamlessly integrate into the local ecosystem, offering consumers a greener and more affordable option without compromising on performance.
