Maruti Suzuki Fronx gets 6 airbags as standard

Maruti Suzuki has rolled out a safety update for the Fronx, now offering six airbags as a standard feature across all variants. This update, which came into effect on July 25, has resulted in a marginal price hike of around 0.5 per cent (ex-showroom). With this move, the Fronx joins the XL6, Baleno, and Ertiga—models that recently received the same safety enhancement.

Back in April, Maruti had shared its plan to equip all its cars with six airbags as a standard safety measure. While models like the Fronx have already received the update, others like the S-Presso and Ignis are still awaiting the upgrade. Going by the rollout pattern, it’s likely that the Urban Cruiser Taisor and the Rumion MPV will be next in line to get the added safety gear.

The Fronx, introduced in 2023, is Maruti’s second compact SUV and shares its platform with the Baleno. It comes with two petrol engine choices and offers both manual and automatic transmission options. This recent update not only aligns with the brand’s broader safety goals but also helps make the Fronx a more appealing choice for safety-conscious buyers.

Maruti Suzuki Fronx exports

Maruti Suzuki has revealed that its crossover SUV, the Fronx, has become the quickest Indian model in its segment to surpass the 1 lakh export mark. This milestone was achieved just 25 months after the vehicle was introduced to global markets, representing a significant step in the automaker’s international growth strategy.

Produced solely at the company’s Gujarat plant, the Fronx began its export operations in 2023, shortly after its domestic launch in April of the same year. Today, the SUV is shipped to over 80 countries worldwide, with notable traction in regions such as Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa. Among the standout markets is Japan, where the Fronx has made a strong impact, contributing significantly to its overall export volume.

In the financial year 2024-25 alone, Maruti Suzuki exported more than 69,000 units of the Fronx, making it the most exported passenger car from India during that period. This accomplishment is part of a broader upward trend in the company’s export efforts, as it continues to scale up its global footprint.

Maruti Suzuki has held its title as the top exporter of passenger vehicles from India for four straight fiscal years. In the first quarter of FY 2025-26, the company shipped over 96,000 units abroad, accounting for 47 percent of all passenger vehicle exports from India—a record high. Currently, Maruti Suzuki exports 17 models to nearly 100 countries, with South Africa, Japan, and Saudi Arabia being some of its primary international markets.
