May 4, 2025 – Since it first came out in April 2023, the Maruti Suzuki Fronx has made a special place for itself in the busy small SUV market. Sold at Maruti Suzuki’s Nexa stores, this sporty and good-looking crossover keeps bringing in buyers who like its unique style and how well it works for different needs.
The Fronx is built on the same base as the Baleno hatchback, but it has a special sloping roof like a coupe SUV. This makes it look different from regular SUVs. Its design, which Maruti Suzuki calls “Crafted Futurism,” includes a strong, tall look, a powerful hood, and cool connected LED lights at the back. The separate headlights and the Nexwave grille with shiny chrome make it look even more modern.
Engine Choices and How It Drives:
The Maruti Fronx gives you two engine choices, so you can pick what feels best for you:
- 1.2-litre K12N Dualjet Petrol: This regular four-cylinder engine makes 90 PS of power and 113 Nm of force. You can get it with a 5-speed manual (stick shift) or a 5-speed AMT (automatic-like) transmission. Maruti Suzuki also has a CNG (natural gas) version of this engine, which makes 76 PS of power and 98.5 Nm of force, and it comes with a 5-speed manual gearbox.
- 1.0-litre K10C Boosterjet Turbo Petrol: This three-cylinder engine with a turbocharger gives you more exciting performance with 100 PS of power and 148 Nm of force. It has a 5-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters (little levers on the steering wheel) for a more fun drive. The turbo engine also uses a mild-hybrid system to save more fuel.
The Fronx rides comfortably and has enough space under the car, so it’s good for different kinds of roads. Maruti Suzuki says the petrol versions can go up to 22.89 kilometers on one liter of fuel, and the CNG version can go 28.51 kilometers on one kilogram of gas.
Different Versions and Prices:
The Maruti Fronx comes in several versions, called Sigma, Delta, Delta+, Zeta, and Alpha. These offer different features and cost different amounts of money. Right now, in late April 2025, the prices for the Maruti Fronx start at ₹7.54 lakh (without taxes and other charges) and go up to ₹13.06 lakh (without taxes and other charges) for the best version. Prices can change depending on the city and what deals the dealers are offering. Recently, Maruti Suzuki said they were raising the price of all versions by a small amount, ₹2,500.
Main Features:
The Fronx has many modern features, including:
- Entertainment: A 9-inch SmartPlay Pro+ HD screen for music and apps with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
- Staying Connected: Suzuki Connect, which has over 40 features to keep you linked to your car.
- Safety: Two front airbags, ABS brakes with EBD (electronic brake-force distribution), electronic stability control (ESC) to help keep you on the road, hill hold assist to stop you from rolling back on hills, parking sensors at the back, and in the better versions, up to six airbags and a 360-degree camera.
- Convenience: A head-up display that shows important info on the windshield, a wireless charger for your phone, automatic air conditioning, power windows, and keyless entry.
How It’s Doing in the Market and Who It Competes With:
The Maruti Fronx has been doing well in India, and it’s also being sold in other countries like the Middle East, Latin America, Africa, Australia, and Japan. In India, it competes with other popular small SUVs like the Renault Kiger, Nissan Magnite, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Mahindra XUV300, and another Maruti Suzuki car, the Brezza.
What’s New:
There aren’t any reports of a brand new Fronx model coming out soon, but Maruti Suzuki recently raised the prices of the current versions. There are also rumors that they might bring out a refreshed version with a strong hybrid engine in the future, maybe in 2026.
In Conclusion:
The Maruti Suzuki Fronx is still a great choice in the small SUV market. It offers a mix of sporty looks, lots of features inside, and engines that don’t use too much fuel. Its good price and Maruti Suzuki’s big service network help make it popular with people buying cars in India. As the small SUV market keeps changing, the Fronx remains an important car for people who want a stylish and useful vehicle for city driving.
