Maruti Fronx compact SUV, based on Baleno, showcased at Auto Expo 2023
- Maruti Suzuki Fronx will be offered in six single tone colour options and three dual-tone colours.
Maruti Suzuki on Thursday unveiled the much-talked-about Baleno-based sporty compact SUV - officially called Fronx - at the Auto Expo 2023. With a firm focus on building its large or larger vehicle lineup, Maruti Suzuki is betting on Fronx to find a younger car-buying audience that may want to level up from hatchbacks. Bookings for the model have been opened through NEXA.
Maruti Fronx has been spotted on test runs on several occasions previously and therefore, has generated a fair amount of buzz around it. While the design cues do clearly hint that it is an offshoot of the enormously popular Baleno hatchback, the vehicle also seeks to create its own unique identity.
