Maruti Suzuki Fronx News - Stay updated with the latest news on Maruti Suzuki Fronx.

<p><p>Maruti Suzuki has upgraded its Fronx subcompact SUV in India by making six airbags standard across all variants, a change that came into effect on July 25.

This update is in line with Maruti Suzuki's earlier announcement to implement six-airbag protection throughout its lineup by the end of 2025.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/maruti-suzuki-escudo-india-launch-on-september-heres-what-we-know-so-far-121318/">Maruti Suzuki Escudo India Launch on September: Here's What We Know So Far</a></p><p>The safety improvement led to a modest average price rise of approximately 0.5 per cent across the range, amounting to a few thousand rupees per variant.

Maruti Suzuki Fronx Becomes Safer in India, Gets Six Airbags as Standard

Maruti Suzuki’s safety enhancement for the Fronx has led to a moderate price hike of approximately 0.5 per cent across all variants.

<p>The Maruti Suzuki Fronx has emerged as a highly successful model for the company, achieving a remarkable sales milestone. In just 17.3 months since its launch in April 2023, the Fronx has exceeded the 2-lakh sales mark. The&nbsp;crossover, based on the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/baleno/">Baleno</a>, has performed consistently well&nbsp;in both&nbsp;domestic and&nbsp;international markets.

<p>Commenting on this milestone, Partho Banerjee, Senior Executive Officer, Marketing &amp; Sales, Maruti Suzuki India Limited said, 'The remarkable success of the Fronx&nbsp;reflects Maruti Suzuki’s understanding of evolving customer expectations and our efforts to deliver products that exceed them. With a notable 16% YoY growth in FY25, this compact SUV has captured the attention of first-time buyers while becoming the preferred choice for those upgrading within the segment. The Fronx&nbsp;has struck a strong chord with today’s discernible SUV buyers looking for a thrilling turbo experience, futuristic design with a tech-loaded cabin and multiple powertrain choices.

Maruti Suzuki Fronx Clocks 2 Lakh Unit Sales Milestone in India

With this, the Maruti Suzuki Fronx surpasses the Grand Vitara by five months, to emerge as the fastest Nexa SUV to reach the 2 lakh sales milestone.

<p>In India, Fronx is one of the most well-liked sub-4-metre models. Based on the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/baleno/">Baleno</a>, this coupe crossover has performed exceptionally well in our market.&nbsp;Recently, a&nbsp;partially camouflaged test mule of the&nbsp;Fronx was spotted doing rounds on the Indian roads. This time around, the&nbsp;mule was equipped with&nbsp;an ADAS suite.&nbsp;In the latest spy shots, the&nbsp;ADAS sensor can be seen on the front grille, unlike the India-spec car, which does not have one.&nbsp;This suggests&nbsp;that&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/">Maruti Suzuki</a>&nbsp;might be considering&nbsp;introducing&nbsp;this&nbsp;feature in India.&nbsp;That being said, the brand may not offer a Level 2 ADAS suite. It is anticipated to include only a Level 1 ADAS package&nbsp;with functions&nbsp;like&nbsp;High Beam Assist,&nbsp;Lane Keep Assist,&nbsp;Vehicle Departure Alert,&nbsp;Forward Collision Warning,&nbsp;Lane Departure Warning, and&nbsp;Lane Following Assist.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Models like <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/hyundai/venue/">Hyundai Venue</a> and <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/kia/sonet/">Kia Sonet</a> offer Level 1 ADAS suite&nbsp;in this&nbsp;segment, whereas the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/mahindra/xuv-3xo/">Mahindra XUV 3XO</a> comes with&nbsp;Level 2 ADAS tech.&nbsp;Maruti Suzuki plans&nbsp;to bring&nbsp;the Fronx facelift to the Indian market by next year. Upon its launch here,&nbsp;the SUV&nbsp;will be the fourth vehicle in the segment&nbsp;to feature ADAS.</p>

<h2>An All-new Hybrid Engine?</h2>

<p>In other news, Maruti Suzuki&nbsp;is working on its&nbsp;hybrid engine, known as HEV. This engine will be available in several models, such as the Fronx facelift, new-gen&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/brezza/">Brezza</a>, Swift Hybrid, and the&nbsp;Baleno facelift.&nbsp;The all-new hybrid engine&nbsp;will make its debut with the Fronx facelift. A 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder Z12E engine, a smaller, 1.5-2kWh battery pack, and an electric motor will make up this unit.&nbsp;The Z12E engine will function as a generator, charging the battery pack. Following the upcoming Fronx facelift, the next-gen&nbsp;Baleno will receive this powerful hybrid engine.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Maruti Suzuki has begun exporting the Fronx to Japan. It is currently the only market offering&nbsp;the Fronx with an ADAS suite.&nbsp;The SUV manufactured&nbsp;for the Japanese market houses&nbsp;a 1.5-litre petrol engine, similar to the Fronx sold in other export markets; the India-spec&nbsp;does not have this engine. While the SUV is only available with the&nbsp;FWD option&nbsp;in other foreign markets, the&nbsp;Japanese-spec&nbsp;models will include Suzuki's AllGrip Select AWD technology and several&nbsp;other unique&nbsp;features. It is important to note that&nbsp;the automaker is also working on incorporating the feature into the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/grand-vitara/">Grand Vitara</a>.</p>

Maruti Suzuki Fronx Spotted Testing in India with ADAS, Launch Soon?

Maruti Suzuki plans to bring the Fronx facelift to the Indian market by 2025. Upon its launch here, the SUV will be the fourth vehicle in the segment to feature ADAS.

<p><a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/">Maruti Suzuki</a>, which has long been exporting Suzuki and Toyota branded vehicles built in India to several countries, has started shipping Fronx, an Indian-made vehicle, to Japan. The SUV headed for the Japanese market will have a 1.5-litre petrol engine, just like the Fronx sold in other export markets; the model offered in India does not have this engine. While the SUV only comes with the FWD option in other foreign markets, the units made for Japan will also offer Suzuki's AllGrip Select AWD technology along with other special amenities.</p>

<p>Bookings for the Fronx in Japan commenced earlier this month, and over 700 have already been made. The official launch date for the SUV is October 16, with deliveries scheduled to begin in the second half of October. According to Maruti Suzuki, the first shipment included 1,600 Fronx units built in India.</p>

<h2>Japan-spec Suzuki Fronx: Powertrain Options</h2>

<p>Similar to all other Fronx units exported overseas, those intended for Japan are also manufactured in Gujarat's SMG (Suzuki Motor Group) plant. The 1.5-litre naturally aspirated (NA) petrol engine with mild hybrid technology powers the Fronx built for the Japanese market. The Fronx that is marketed in South Africa has the same configuration. There are two gearbox options: a five-speed manual and a torque converter automatic with paddle shifters.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The car lacks external "AllGrip" badging, and only the higher trim levels come with the AllGrip Select AWD technology. Suzuki's mid-range AWD technology, the AllGrip Select, is positioned beneath the AllGrip Pro and above the AllGrip Auto. The <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/grand-vitara/">Grand Vitara</a> sold in our nation features this setup. There are four "off-road" modes available for driver control: Auto, Sport, Snow, and Lock. The centre console's buttons are used to regulate the system electronically. In response to road conditions and driver input, the Sport and Snow modes adjust the throttle and deliver power to the rear wheels as necessary. The Fronx AWD's suspension system is also unique, with a modified rear torsion beam configuration to support the AWD system.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Japan-spec Suzuki Fronx: Interior and Features Updates</h2>

<p>The Japan-spec Fronx receives extra features in addition to the engine and transmission, the most notable of which is the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), which includes automatic emergency braking and lane-keeping assistance. Other features include front parking sensors, an electronic parking brake (EPB) with a hill hold, automatic cruise control, and heated seats. In addition to the equipment, the Japan-spec model gets a new interior theme with a chic colour palette of dark brown and plum, accentuated by a generous amount of soft-touch materials on the door pads and other surfaces. The dual-tone upholstery on the seats combines faux leather and fabric upholstery for a sophisticated and elegant effect. The piano black finish on the central console, steering wheel, and door handles further enhances the upscale vibe.&nbsp;</p>
