Styling

Although the Maruti Fronx shares its platform with the Baleno, its exterior design sets it apart from the hatchback. The Fronx sports a  SUV-inspired front, featuring a more muscular stance. Its grille and LED DRL design have earned it the nickname “baby Grand Vitara,” due to its resemblance to the larger SUV in Maruti's lineup.

Price

The Maruti Suzuki Fronx shares its underpinnings with the Baleno, thereby helping it generate a handsome pricing in the market. Available with five trim levels-Sigma, Delta, Delta+, Zeta, and Alpha-the Fronx is priced between ₹7.51 lakh (ex-showroom) to ₹13.04 lakh (ex-showroom). This makes the Fronx price comparatively lower than other sub-4 metre SUVs in its segment to lure buyers looking for an SUV-like appearance without the price tag usually associated with it.

Turbo petrol engine

The Maruti Fronx is the only model in the current Maruti Suzuki range featuring a turbo petrol engine. This 1.0-liter BoosterJet engine, which has been under the sub-series code Baleno RS, attended a lingering demise because of the changing norms in emissions. Still, it is now back and formalized into the Fronx. With a peppy performance and powered by turbocharged muscle, the Fronx now sports one of the most delightful performance showings in the Maruti catalogue.
