Maruti Fronx: Both Stylish And Practical Crossover! Maruti Fronx is a sporty and youthful sub-compact cross over taking the height of the SUV and the aggressiveness of a hatchback.
The Fronx stands between the Baleno and Brezza in Maruti Suzuki’s Nexa range and is aimed at consumers in search of a car that blends style and utility.
A striking-looking SUV with turbo-petrol and naturally aspirated options on offer and some cool features to get excited about makes the Fronx pretty attractive in a rapidly developing compact SUV market.
Design and Styling: Athletic and Crossover-inspired
The Fronx is characterized by its unique coupe-like profile and elevated driving position.
Up front, the broad slim-line grill with chrome inserts, classy LED DRLs and beefy bumper make it look like a typical SUV.
The rugged appeal is further bolstered by high ground clearance, skid plates and flared wheel arches.
The roof drops and there is a sense of energy from the alloy wheels when viewed from the side.
The rear gets its connected LED tail lamps and a stylish boot lid to create a modern and sporty feel.
The model is based on the platform of the Baleno but the design of Fronx is refreshing and on the muscular side,
which adds to the appeal among young and stylish buyers.
Interior and Features: Where Comfort Meets Connectivity
InteriorsThe cabin has a dual-tone, layered dashboard which reminds you of the Baleno, but with a few minor touches.
The 9-inch touchscreen infotainment unit features wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay,
and the Arkamys-tuned audio system helps round out the aural experience.
It also comes with head-up display (HUD) wireless phone charging, cruise control, auto climate control, push-button start/stop, and rear AC vents.
The cabin is upscale with mushy touch points and controlled use of buttons.
Seats are heavily padded, with ample room for both front and rear occupants. Its 308-litre boot is a good daily and weekend-trip size.
Engine & Performance: Two options to cater to different demands
Petrol The Fronx comes with two petrol powerplants:
1.2L DualJet naturally aspirated motor (90 PS, 113 Nm) with 5-Speed MT / AMT
BoosterJet turbo-petrol engine (100 PS, 147 Nm) + 5MT/6AT
It is highly fuel efficient and the powertrain is smooth with sub version 4-cylinder small engine.
The BoosterJet version, meanwhile, was able to deliver zesty performance and improved highway cruising capability.
Shoe-factory tires squeal as I throw it into a big turn (it will touch 1g on the skidpad), and the suspension is tuned for good drivability on less-than-perfect tarmac.
Pros:
SUV-Inspired Design: Coupe roofline, bold presence
Two Engine Options – NA and Turbo, Some Petrol Fun to Match You can pick between two engines,
the first being an NA petrol and the other a turbocharged petrol engine for different tastes.
Laden Cabin: Wireless Android Auto, HUD, rear AC vents
Economical: especially with the 1.2L engine
Compact and Easy to Drive: Ideal for urban conditions
Cons:
No CNG or Diesel: Misses out on wide fuel availability
Turbo Variant More Expensive: Expensive when compared to NA trims
Rear Seat Best for Two Adults: Cramped for third occupant
Interior Absolutely Identical to Baleno: No novelty either in dash’s design
Maruti Fronx: Conclusion
Yes, all hail the crossover, the best of both aha, well actually, a hatchback and SUV.
Boasting attractive design, contemporary amenities and hands-on performance, it appeals to a vast spectrum of buyers, including daily commuters and small families.
Forenza It may not be a rugged SUV but it’s a trendy and fuel-efficient urban crossover, with the reliability and dealership network of Maruti Suzuki.
