The Maruti Suzuki Fronx is based on the Baleno hatchback but is completely different from that car in terms of looks. Maruti Suzuki’s smallest SUV in the line-up surely has a lot of smart design elements. Here are some reasons we think this could be the next big-selling compact SUV.
The Maruti Suzuki Fronx will be a great option for those looking for an affordable SUV. It will be priced lower than other similar SUVs, giving you great value for money. The Maruti Suzuki Fronx is a crossover/SUV that will offer great value for money with a price tag that is expected to be just a step below the Brezza, you can expect it to start from Rs 7.50 or 8 lakh rupees.
The top-of-the-line version will be priced around 10-11 lakh rupees for the automatic version. For this price, it offers a great range of features, including a heads-up display, wireless charger, 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, paddle shifters (AT only), Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, cruise control, electrically adjustable ORVMs, connected-car tech, auto climate control, and rear AC vents as well along with type-C charging ports at the back
The Fronx has a smart and sporty design that will instantly appeal to buyers. The SUV has a bold and modern look that is sure to turn heads. It is stylish, with a design inspired by the Grand Vitara SUV, making it an attractive vehicle. This SUV looks great not only in terms of the looks from the front where it mimics its bigger sibling but also the rear end which has a unique style with its big beam of light joining the combination tail lamps. The side profile looks muscular too.
The front end with its raised bonnet and the triple-LED lamps gives the Fronx a unique shape that is hard to miss. This is one good-looking SUV and many buyers will pick it just for the good looks alone.
The Fronx will be available in multiple powertrain options, allowing you to choose the one that best suits your needs With a tried and tested 1.2-litre petrol engine, the Fronx will be good in terms of fuel efficiency. The car will also come with a 1-liter turbo petrol that Maruti calls Booster Jet.
This engine will develop over 100bho and is the one to go for power lovers. The current Baleno is available with a CNG option as well and we can expect the same from the Fronx in the distant future, which means that fuel efficiency will be taken care of.
Being a Maruti It is easy to maintain, as servicing is available at a low expense. It will also be reliable as it will come with a tried-and-tested engine. Add to this that it will offer excellent resale value, as not many cars can beat Maruti Suzuki cars on resale value along with the best after-sales support in India both in terms of retail outlets as well as workshops and you will have total peace of mind with this car.
The tall stance and high ground clearance along with the chunky tires mean that the Fronx will offer some off-roading capabilities. Most buyers only take their cars on small excursions and not full 4×4 surfaces and that is where the Fronx will be ideal.
Overall, the Fronx is a good-looking car that seems to have it all. Good looks, capable engines, a roomy cabin, and reliable engines, not to mention the tried and tested service backup of Maruti Suzuki. Bookings are open for Rs 11,000 at Nexa outlets and online as well. The car will officially go on sale at the end of March or early April.
