Maruti Suzuki has once again made a splash in the Indian automobile market with its new compact SUV Maruti Fronx. This SUV not only gives great mileage but is also being liked by the people due to its stylish design and advanced features. Fronx is perfect for those who are looking for an affordable, modern and family-friendly vehicle.
Style and strong road presence in design
The design of Maruti Fronx is quite bold and attractive. It has a wide front grille, sharp LED DRLs and sleek LED headlamps which give it a strong look. Its bonnet is raised and the dual-tone bumper gives it a sporty feel. In the side profile, the sloping roofline and 16-inch alloy wheels give it the identity of a crossover SUV.
The connected LED taillamps at the rear give it a premium look. Overall, the exterior design of the Fronx will attract the youth and those who want a SUV that stands out from the crowd.
Maruti Fronx Luxury interior
The interior of the Fronx is no less than a luxury car. Dual-tone theme, soft touch material, and leatherette upholstery (in higher variants) give it a premium feel. Flat-bottom steering wheel, ambient lighting and clean dashboard design make it more special.
The seating space is good for both driver and passengers and headroom and legroom are adequate. Rear seats have AC vents and adequate boot space.
Engine and performance
Maruti Fronx is available in two engine options – the first is a 1.2 liter naturally aspirated petrol engine which gives power of 90 PS and the second is a 1.0 liter turbo petrol (Boosterjet) engine which comes with power of 100 PS.

On the other hand, the 1.0L Boosterjet engine is mated to a 6-speed automatic and manual gearbox. This engine is better for fast speed and exciting driving experience on the highway.
