Maruti Suzuki Fronx: The introduction of Maruti Suzuki Fronx will signify a new direction in the company’s compact SUV approach. Based on the Baleno platform, the Fronx is a crossover in terms of its silhouette and has SUV-inspired styling, giving buyers an option for something more rugged-looking than a premium hatchback but more compact than a full-size SUV. Maruti Suzuki slotted the Fronx in an emerging niche, comprising urban customers who wanted a sporty, raised vehicle in a compact form. With its coupe-like sloping roofline and a bold stance, the Fronx marks a departure from Maruti’s conventionally conservative styling language, which indicates a bolder, more radical look in future models—one that’s more in line with the evolving consumer demands. It combines design flair with functionality, and all of this comes in a size that suits the modern Indian road.
Distinctive Styling That Commands Attention
Design wise, the Fronx is unique to Maruti Suzuki from what one traditionally comes to expect from the manufacturer. Up front, its assertive look, with a broad grille that is accentuated with thick chrome, and LED daytime running lights and projector headlights that are placed low in the bumper. Muscular cladding running down the sides, skid plates and a high belt line provide an SUV-like stance, while the roofline slopes downward and integrates a spoiler for a sporty edge. You get some attractive patterned alloys on it, helping its dynamic appeal. At the back, the integrated LED tail lamp strip and the sculpted boot adds a touch of established futurism to the Fronx. It’s design is not just eye candy—far from it, in fact, as it was designed to attract a younger audience who value looks as much as performance and features. The Fronx gets noticed, whether on its narrow city streets or parked outside a cafe.

The centre console is angled toward the driver, which aids ergonomics and visibility. The cabin is centered by a large touchscreen infotainment system complemented by knobs and buttons to control, you know, stuff. There’s decent room for up to four adults, including enough head and leg room for city drives or weekend road trips. Drag the Picanto out of town and the high-ride height provides a commanding view and the boot is capacious enough for the luggage of a small family. Useful inclusions like a pair of USB outlets, rear air conditioning vents and lots of storage space add to the vehicle’s pragmatic appeal.
Powertrain configurations for Various Users
Maruti Suzuki provides the Fronx with a couple of petrol engine choices -a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated engine and a 1.0-litre turbocharged Boosterjet engine. The 1.2 litre K-series engine is smooth and fuel efficient, perfect for motorists with routine driving requirements and those who are conscious of fuel costs. The 1.0-litre Boosterjet, meanwhile, brings back the brand’s sporty intentions in offering a perky response and sharp throttle response. It can easily be used to navigate the highways and for a spirited spin on city streets. It is offered with a 5-speed manual, a 5-speed AMT and a 6-speed torque converter automatic, depending on the variant and engine. These are combinations in which the customers can choose according to their driving style – to their own preferences for either ease, efficiency or for extremely sporty dynamics. For all of its small size, the Fronx brings a powertrain blend to fit the range of tastes without sacrificing fuel efficiency or drivability.
Smooth Handling and Comfort-Focused Ride
Ride of the Maruti Suzuki Fronx is settled that allows skimming around city streets in an effortless manner. The suspension is set up for comfort and swallows up potholes, speed breakers and uneven surfaces without sending a shock through to the passengers. With light and responsive steering, it is easy to maneuver through cramped lanes and tight parking spaces. The chassis stays settled at cruising highway speeds and body roll is well contained, for a crossover this tall, at least. The braking is well-progressive and confidence-inspiring especially in top-end versions where you get a disc up-front and a drum at the rear. The ground clearance is more than sufficient for most Indian road conditions, and the vehicle feels sturdy even on not-so-good tarmac. In general, the Fronx feels planted, athletic — and something even experienced drivers and even novitiates will want to drive every day.
