The Maruti Fronx blurs lines between hatchbacks and SUVs. Built on the Baleno platform with distinct coupe-like styling, it combines sleek design, turbocharged performance, and rich features—all delivered through the Nexa network.
Pricing and Feature Highlights
Prices range from ₹7.47 lakh (Sigma) to ₹13.14 lakh (Alpha Dual Tone Turbo AT) for ex-showroom trims. Available in petrol, turbo-petrol, and CNG options, Fronx covers diverse ownership needs—from fuel economy to spirited driving.
Feature highlights include a 9-inch touchscreen (in top trims) with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, heads-up display, 360° camera, wireless charging, and six airbags—a treasure trove of convenience and safety.
Styling That Stands Out
Fronx adopts cues from its bigger sibling Grand Vitara: split LED headlights, NEXwave grille, chunkier bumpers, and silver skid plates. It also offers standout colour options and add-on accessories to personalize its look.
Engine Choices Made for India
- 1.2L Dualjet petrol – delivers 90 PS and 113 Nm. Sales rely on its efficiency (up to 22.9 kmpl with AMT).
- 1.0L Boosterjet turbo-petrol – returns 100 PS and 148 Nm. Available with manual or Aisin automatic gearbox; fuel efficiency ranges between 20–21.5 kmpl.
The turbo variant adds paddle shifters for a sportier feel and is the only Maruti with this engine currently.
Ride Quality and Interior Experience
Built on the lightweight yet rigid Heartect platform, Fronx delivers nimble steering, responsive suspension, and high ground clearance. Interior mirrors the Baleno but differentiates with dual-tone trims, rear AC vents, and generous cabin space—even though the boot is slightly smaller.
Safety: Nothing Compromised
Built for safety-conscious buyers, Fronx comes with six airbags, ABS with EBD, ESP, Hill-Hold Assist, ISOFIX, and rollover mitigation. These are now standard across all variants, following a recent price adjustment of just 0.5%.
Real-World Impressions from Owners
“Ride feels solid, spacious, and offers good road presence.”
“Mileage on highways ranges from 18–23 kmpl; 12–16 kmpl in city when driven hard.”
— Owners’ feedback highlights real-world strengths and driving dynamics.
Verdict: What Makes the Fronx a Top Pick
The Maruti Fronx delivers a compelling balance between performance, features, and value. Its turbo engine, upscale safety features, and design flair make it one of India’s most versatile compact SUVs.
