Maruti Fronx vs Tata Punch: Design
In terms of looks, the Fronx looks like a smaller version of the Grand Vitara which is not necessarily a bad thing because the Grand Vitara is a good-looking SUV. The Fronx gets LED lighting in its top variant and there is also a lightbar on the tailgate which is quite rare in this segment. The Punch, on the other hand, looks very muscular as compared to the Fronx, this is because of its chunky design language.
