The 2023 Maruti Suzuki Fronx is the latest entrant into the burgeoning compact SUV segment, which in turn is symbolic of India\u2019s increasing affinity for SUVs of all hues. With the Fronx, Maruti is also the only manufacturer to have two offerings in the segment with the Brezza being the other. But unlike the Brezza, the Fronx is a true-blue crossover that\u2019s based on the Baleno, which also happens to be India\u2019s best-selling premium hatchback. The result is a car that marries the Baleno\u2019s strengths with SUV sensibilities at an attractive price point. If you\u2019re looking to bring one home, here\u2019s a 2023 Maruti Fronx buying guide to make your decision easier. <\/p>\n\n\n

Why you should consider the Maruti Fronx<\/h2>\n\n\n

The compact SUV segment in India is chock-a-block with options. In fact, many CSUVs even offer a diesel engine, something the Maruti Suzuki Fronx does not. Yet, that\u2019s unlikely to subdue demand for the Fronx, just like it didn\u2019t affect the Brezza\u2019s popularity. Here are three reasons why that is so. <\/p>\n\n\n

Fresh, Crossover Design<\/h3>\n\n\n

Maruti\u2019s approach to cars is more about purpose than flair. This is why it\u2019s unlikely for a Maruti car to wow you, either in terms of looks, performance, or even features. But the Maruti Fronx is a fortunate exception to that unfortunate rule. This is a great-looking SUV and you wouldn\u2019t spot any signs of its hatchback origins unless you stare hard at the car\u2019s hind quarters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the front, the Fronx is reminiscent of Maruti\u2019s flagship offering, the Grand Vitara. Everything from the raised bonnet, large grill, accentuated bumpers, square wheel arches, and larger 16-inch wheels enhance the Fronx\u2019s SUV credentials. And the SUV treatment is not just skin deep as Maruti has raised the Fronx\u2019s suspension compared to the Baleno. Combined with the larger wheels, this gives the Maruti Fronx an impressive ground clearance of 190 mm.<\/p>\n\n\n

Powerful, Frugal Engines<\/h3>\n\n\n

As mentioned previously, the Fronx, like all Marutis, doesn\u2019t offer a diesel engine option. But you\u2019re unlikely to miss an oil burner\u2019s frugality as both the Fronx\u2019s petrol engines offer best-in-class fuel efficiency. For instance, the 1.2-litre engine delivers an ARAI-tested 21.79 kmpl and 22.89 kmpl in its manual and AMT avatars, respectively. That\u2019s more than some smaller hatchbacks! Even the 1.0-litre turbo engine is a sipper with figures of 21.5 kmpl and 20.01 kmpl for its manual and automatic variants, respectively. This engine, unlike the 1.2-litre unit, gets Maruti\u2019s 48v mild-hybrid technology, which explains how a turbo can achieve such fuel efficiency figures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this frugality doesn\u2019t come at the cost of performance either. The 1.0-litre turbo engine helps the Fronx achieve 0-100 kmph in roughly 11 seconds while offering excellent low-speed driveability thanks to the mild-hybrid system\u2019s instantaneous torque.<\/p>\n\n\n

Spacious, Well-featured Cabin<\/h3>\n\n\n

The Baleno is one of the roomiest in its class and the Fronx uses this strong base to offer one of the most spacious cabins in the compact SUV category. This is evident especially in the Fronx\u2019s rear seat which can easily accommodate five people, something most other CSUVs struggle with. And despite having the lowest height among CSUVs, the Fronx doesn\u2019t fall short on headroom. Offering the second-longest wheelbase in the segment, 2520 mm, certainly adds to rear seat comfort, as do rear AC vents and an adjustable headrest for the middle passenger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of features, the Maruti Fronx gets a 9.0-inch infotainment system, a heads-up display, a 360-degree camera, a 6-speaker Arkamys sound system, wireless charging, fast-charging ports for the rear seat, and a connected car suite. <\/p>\n\n\n

Why you should not consider the Maruti Fronx<\/h2>\n\n\n

The Maruti Fronx comfortably scores more hits than misses. However, two of these misses might be too hard to ignore for prospective buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n

Second Smallest Boot Space in Segment<\/h3>\n\n\n

The Maruti Fronx is next only to the Mahindra XUV 300 in terms of a small boot, with 308 litres of space. While this is an expected outcome of having greater room for rear-seat passengers, the usability of the 308 litres is hampered because of the Fronx\u2019s high loading lip. This small and unergonomic boot space might dissuade family car buyers from the Maruti Fronx. <\/p>\n\n\n

Maruti Fronx Variants<\/h2>\n\n\n

The Maruti Suzuki Fronx is a Nexa offering and as such, is available in the brand\u2019s signature Sigma, Delta, Delta+, Zeta, and Alpha variants. Comprising 10 options, these variants are divided between the Fronx\u2019s two engine options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, the 1.0-litre turbo mild-hybrid powertrains are available only with the Delta+, Zeta, and Alpha variants. The naturally aspirated 1.2-litre powertrains with manual and AMT transmissions are available in the Sigma, Delta, and Delta+ variants.  <\/p>\n\n\n

Best Maruti Fronx Variant to Buy<\/h3>\n\n\n

The Zeta is the best Maruti Fronx variant to buy. For starters, although it\u2019s priced over Rs 80,000 more than the Delta+ variant, it offers better safety features with side and curtain airbags (a total of 6 instead of the standard 2 airbags in the Delta+) and a rear parking camera. The Zeta variant also matches the top-end Alpha variant\u2019s features list, save for niceties such as a larger 9-inch infotainment unit, heads-up display, and a 360-degree camera. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And while you can get the Zeta variant in either the manual or automatic guise, it\u2019s unfortunately not available with the 1.2-litre engine. However, considering the brisk performance and fuel-efficient nature of the 1.0-litre turbo mild-hybrid engine, this shouldn\u2019t be a deal-breaker.<\/p>\n\n\n

Maruti Fronx Warranty & Service Cost<\/h2>\n\n\n

The Maruti Fronx comes with a standard 2-year\/40,000 km warranty. Maruti also offers three extended warranty programs \u2013 i) Gold (3rd<\/sup> year\/60,000 km), ii) Platinum (3rd<\/sup> and 4th<\/sup> year\/80,000 km), iii) Royal Platinum (3rd<\/sup>, 4th<\/sup>, and 5th<\/sup> year\/1,00,000 km).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for Maruti Fronx service costs, you can expect to shell out between Rs 6,000 – 8,000 for every scheduled service at intervals of 10,000 km\/1 year.  <\/p>\n\n\n

Maruti Fronx Buying Guide Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n

The crossover car story in India thus far has seen more duds than hits. That\u2019s purely the fault of manufacturers as they slapped stilts onto their existing hatchbacks to entice the customer. However, Maruti has tried a refreshing approach with the Fronx, whose ample space, powerful engines, best-in-class fuel efficiency, decent feature list, striking design, and Maruti\u2019s proven reliability might just change the crossover car story in India. And with this 2023 Maruti Suzuki Fronx buying guide, we hope you\u2019ve got a better idea about which Maruti Fronx variant to buy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
