It rose to become quite a benchmark setter in the sub-4m SUV segment due to its dynamic design and multiple powertrain options along with a long list of modern features. All this, of course, set a New Benchmark in the sub-4m SUV Segment.
Achievement of Fastest 2 Lakh Sales Milestone
This milestone comes on the back of the SUV being the fastest new model to hit 1 lakh sales, in January 2024, just 10 months after launch. The second 1 lakh has come in even quicker, at 7.3 months, underlining the appeal of the Fronx to Indian consumers. There has been tremendous demand for the Fronx across cities in Tier 1 and Tier 2 with NCR, Delhi, Mumbai, Kochi, and Bengaluru making up the top five markets. Its 1.0-liter Turbo petrol engine, in turn, has built interest among customers who are looking for an even more spirited driving experience.

Technological advancements embodied by this vehicle are a 22.86 cm (9-inch) HD Smart Play Pro+ Infotainment System, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, Head-Up Display, 360-degree camera, wireless charging, and Suzuki Connect. Tech-savvy customers, therefore, place it at the apex of their consideration set. The ex-showroom price of the Fronx ranges between Rs 7.52 lakh and Rs 13.04 lakh.

Maruti Suzuki offers the Fronx with a choice of petrol or CNG, available in manual, AMT, and automatic transmissions.

The 1.2-liter engine produces 89 bhp and has a fuel efficiency of 21.79 kmpl, while the 1.0-liter turbo engine gives 99 bhp with a fuel efficiency of 21.5 kmpl; this meets various customer driving preference needs.
