What makes a good family car? The ideal family car strikes a balance between comfort and capacity. You need enough seats for everyone and enough cargo space for all the ‘stuff’ that comes with kids, and maybe even the family dog!
A roomy, comfortable interior translates to smoother daily commutes, less stress on long trips, less driver fatigue, and a more relaxed, happier family. Whether it’s for the daily school run, shopping, a Sunday outing, or a family holiday, Thorp Suzuki South Africa has the perfect set of wheels for you!
Suzuki’s impressive stable is chock-full of outstanding vehicles that offer that extra legroom and boot space you need, without sacrificing fuel efficiency, safety, or superb handling.

- 7-Seater Capacity: With three rows of seating, the Ertiga comfortably accommodates up to seven passengers – ideal for car-pooling or large or blended families.

The powerful Suzuki Fronx blends coupé-inspired styling with SUV practicality. Redefining what you’d expect from a sporty SUV, it offers a compelling option for families wanting both style and space. Its impressive features include:
