Exterior Styling: An Eye-Catching Profile

The Maruti Fronx features a distinctive front fascia with an upright stance. It is dominated by the large signature grille with sleek LED DRLs integrated with the Suzuki logo. The neatly integrated headlamps and front skid plate add to the SUV’s appeal.

The Fronx measures 3995mm long and 1765mm wide with a 2520mm, promising good road presence and interior room.

Spacious, Feature-Packed Cabin

The Fronx’s interior focuses on space, comfort and convenience. There’s ample room for 5 adults to relax. The cabin layout is modern yet functional, with quality fabrics, premium surfaces and practical storage spaces.

The dashboard sports a free-standing Smartplay Pro touchscreen infotainment system with smartphone connectivity options.

Powerful Yet Fuel Efficient Engine Options

The Maruti Fronx lets buyers choose between two petrol engines:

  1. An advanced 1.0L Boosterjet direct injection turbo engine producing 98bhp and 148Nm torque, paired with 5-speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmissions.
  2. A proven 1.2L Dualjet VVT engine churning out 88bhp power and 113Nm torque, mated to 5-speed manual and AMT gearboxes. This familiar engine promises reliability, efficiency and smooth performance.

CNG options are also offered with the 1.2L engine for even greater fuel economy. Mileage is rated between 20 to 23 km/l for petrol variants and 28.5km/kg for CNG, which enhances its value appeal.

Attractively Priced

As a Maruti Suzuki model built on tried-and-tested underpinnings localised for India, the Fronx benefits from cost advantages. This allows Maruti to price it very competitively from ₹8.31 lakhs onwards. Consider the style, features, drivability, and mileage; the Maruti Fronx presents excellent value to customers.
