Maruti Suzuki, being the largest automobile company in India has now recently ventured forth with its latest offering, the Maruti FRONX. This new design model is going to rock up things for this highly competitive compact SUV market, taking in all the appeal of an SUV and addng to it a sleek and aerodynamic characteristic of a coupe.

Therefore, the Maruti FRONX aims to set the tone for the urban drivers and young buyers who look for perfection in terms of collage of style, performance, and practicability.

FRONX, based on a long line of reliable Maruti platforms, and stuffed with advanced features, promises to deliver the premium experience at a price that will appeal to one very wide segment of buyers.

Here’s a walk-through of design, features, performance, safety, and many more that would make the Maruti FRONX stand out in one of India’s most sought-after vehicle segments.

Design and Styling: A Mash-Up of SUV and Coupe –

The designs of Maruti FRONX are so unique because they host a design language that combines the toughness of an SUV and the sleekness of a coupe. Its use results in a road presence which is both unique and fashionable, making it appealing to a younger crowd in need of something other than the average compact SUV.

1. Exterior Design –

It features a rather bold grille with piano-black finish amidst aggressive sharp LED headlamps and slim DRLs. Aggressive front-end styling gives FRONX a silhouette like that of an SUV while a sloping roof and coupe-like silhouette add dynamic tones.

The muscular wheel arches host alloy wheels, which contribute to the sporty character, and the high ground clearance of about 190mm lends practicality for Indian road conditions.

The FRONX stands out from the boxy throng with a floating roof design plus bold character lines on the sides. A light strip filling up the horizontal run at the rear side is truly futuristic, the most stylish wrapping of the LED taillamps included.

2. Length and Width –

With the FRONX, one may realize that this vehicle is able to provide compact urban driving with just enough interior volume needed to carry five people comfortably. Length is approximately 3,995 mm, meaning it would be enough to really handle little up and down maneuvers of roads within the city while allowing its imposing road stance.

Interior and Comfort: Technology meets Luxury –

Inside, new Maruti FRONX cabin has a modern comforting look, making daily drive experience easy. It lays more emphasis on premium feel but still tries to achieve this with effective control intervention for simplicity in driving today.

1. Dashboard and Layout –

The interior of FRONX is just as the dashboard is well clean with soft touch material and metallic accents, part of a luxury cabin. Dominating the center is the infotainment floating screen and digital instrument cluster, giving the cabin a futuristic feel.

The steering wheel is in leather, with mounted controls, giving it a premium feel; the climate control is aligned to be more convenient ergonomically at times.

2. Infotainment and Connectivity:

The heartbeat of FRONX’s technology play is the Maruti SmartPlay Pro+. The former boasts of its 9-inch touchscreen, mated with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto that allows voice recognition, user-friendly interface with enough responsiveness and smooth connectivity to keep their drivers connected on the move.

Higher variants of the FRONX offer connected car features, remote access to your vehicle, and real-time tracking of your vehicle, among other smart features, through a smartphone app.

This premium sound system means one really enjoys long drives while listening to their favorite music.

3. Comfort and Space:

FRONX has generous interior space that will offer sufficient leg and headroom to ensure that one will feel at ease traveling through this car even on the long journey. At the same time, the cushioning of the seats properly supports the passengers with a commute through the city, as well as touring the highway.

The FRONX comes with a super spacious luggage boot, with the rear seats split up in a 60:40 ratio. Such would allow one to travel on a long road trip or haul heavy bulks if one had to ferry huge materials because the rear seats fold down.

4. Feature-Rich Experience:

The FRONX has also more convenience features in the higher variants, such as automatic climate control, push-button start, and keyless entry. Two driver controls: an adjustable driver’s seat and a tilt-adjustable steering wheel provide for an excellent driving position.

Engine and Performance: Power Meets Efficiency –

Maruti Suzuki has armed the FRONX with two engine variants that can be categorized into mid to high-performance and, at the same time, fuel-burning efficient engines. A spirited driving enthusiast as well as an economical mileage-conscious user will find their grounds on the FRONX.

1. 1.0L Boosterjet Turbo Petrol Engine:

For the sporty driving, the FRONX version is powered by a 1.0-litre Boosterjet turbo-petrol unit, which produces around 100 bhp and 147 Nm of torque, ensuring lively and punchy acceleration.

This diesel version, to make it even closer to your expectations, you can pair with a 5-speed manual gearbox or the 6-speed automatic one with paddle shifters for stirring performance in both city traffic and highway cruising.

2.1.2L DualJet Petrol Engine:

This FRONX also comes to the more fuel-conscious buyer, with a 1.2-litre DualJet petrol engine that churns out 89 bhp and 113 Nm of torque. This one would make its name for efficiency mileage and smooth power delivery, making it an excellent choice for daily urban runabouts.

– This version also has an option either of 5-speed manual transmission or AGS (Auto Gear Shift) by Maruti, which don’t hamper your fuel efficiency but indeed provide the benefit of an automatic.

3. Fuel Efficiency:

– As far as the consumption of fuel is concerned, the Maruti Suzuki cars are always appreciable; the FRONX has made no exception. The 1.2L variant would give round about 21-23 km/l, while the turbo-petrol variant gives lower mileage but respectable, thus bringing FRONX out to be an economically efficient car.

4. Driving Dynamics:

The FRONX is expected to provide a balanced ride and handling arrangement which could assure a smooth ride as well as drive. It has been set to operate on terrible roads but still provides comfortability when riding upon fine surfaces.

This high ground clearance and compact dimensions ensure agility in city traffic, the wide stance confers stability at higher speeds on highways.

Safety: Maruti Commitment to Passenger Protection –

Nowadays, safety features have become one of the prime concerns for car customers. The Maruti FRONX meets all these in a very holistic safety package.

1. Standard Safety Features

All variants of FRONX are equipped with standard safety items, such as dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, and rear parking sensors. ESP and Hill-Hold Assist have been provided in the higher variants of FRONX for aggressive driving conditions.

2. Better Safety Features:

FRONX rides on the HEARTECT platform of Maruti, which is designed to absorb and dissipate crash energy upon impact, thereby protecting occupants.

Other standard or optional variants’ safety features include a reverse parking camera, ISOFIX child seat anchors, and a speed alert system.

Competition and Price: Standing Itself Apart –

Maruti FRONX THE COMPANY PLACES THIS CAR IN A VERY COMPETITIVE PORTFOLIO THAT CONTAINS MODELS LIKE Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet and Renault Kiger. All the cars are providing exquisite features and performance but FRONX is the only one in its class because this model is apt in terms of its design, competitive pricing, and Maruti’s wide service network.

1. Pricing –

So, depending on the variant, it should be between ₹7 lakh and ₹11 lakh ex-showroom. So far, the Maruti FRONX is a pretty great value proposition-you get a style-feature-packed compact SUV for a price that possibly falls within the current “budget-range” of more expensive SUVs from other manufacturers.

2. Maruti’s Legacy

Among the key takeaways of FRONX is that Maruti has an unparalleled service network, and the brand never lets its customers down. The cars of Maruti have low maintenance costs, good resale value, and are readily available. All this means hassle-free ownership for the masses.
