From January 1969 there was also an export version, the Suzuki Fronte 500 with the engine enlarged to 475 cc. The 500 produces 29 PS (21 kW) at 6,000 rpm, four more than does the original 360 export version. In the domestic market, the Fronte competed directly with the Mitsubishi Minica, Daihatsu Fellow, and the Subaru 360. Production ended in October 1970, in advance of the succeeding "Stingray" Fronte.
