Maruti Fronx and Nissan Magnite are among the most favoured compact crossovers, catering to those who prefer the styling of an SUV but not the size or costs of owning a regular SUV. The Fronx is built on Maruti Suzuki\u2019s light HEARTECT platform, which has several benefits, including an efficient engine and great drivability in the city. The Magnite, on the other hand, takes the traditional compact SUV styling approach in a taller profile, good ground clearance, reasonable pricing, and both naturally aspirated and turbo-petrol engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Fronx is available with a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, a 1.0-litre Boosterjet turbo-petrol, and a factory-fitted CNG option. The Magnite uses a 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine and a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, while selected naturally aspirated manual variants can also be fitted with a government-approved CNG retrofit kit. Their claimed mileage figures are competitive, but the difference becomes more noticeable in real driving. In this comparison, we look at the specifications, ARAI figures, real-world mileage, running costs, and prices of the Fronx and Magnite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
