Maruti Suzuki Fronx spotted testing with ADAS; Big safety update coming soon?

Maruti Suzuki has recently been spotted testing advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) capabilities on its SUV crossover, the Fronx. The car was spotted earlier this year as well, testing these capabilities on Indian roads, suggesting that the car might get a major safety feature upgrade, which might drive the price of the car up significantly. The picture was uploaded by a user on the TeamBHP forum, who claimed that the car was seen testing ADAS in the Delhi-NCR region.

Maruti Suzuki Fronx ADAS Testing

Maruti Suzuki Fronx is one of the most popular models in the company’s product portfolio, consistently being one of the best-selling products for the automaker. Currently, the Maruti Suzuki Victoris and e Vitara are the only two cars boasting ADAS capabilities in the vast product portfolio of the company. It is expected that the Fronx test mule has borrowed the ADAS system from its Maruti Suzuki Arena sibling, the Victoris.

Additionally, the Fronx might be set to get a strong hybrid version, considering the badging on the back of the car reading ‘Hybrid’ instead of ‘Smart Hybrid’. However, it remains to be seen which engine option the Fronx Hybrid is set to be equipped with. While it is assumed that the test mule of the Fronx is borrowing ADAS from the Victoris, there are reports that the company is working on a more affordable hybrid powertrain based on the Z Series engine, which currently powers the Swift and Dzire, which the automaker might debut on the Fronx, boasting ADAS functionalities.
