Maruti Suzuki has launched the all-new Fronx in India, with prices starting from Rs 7.47 lakh and going up to Rs 13.14 lakh (ex-showroom, India). The coupe crossover first made its debut alongside the Jimny 5-door SUV at the Auto Expo 2023 and bookings are already underway for a token amount of Rs 11,000.
The SUV will be sold via Maruti's Nexa dealerships and brings back a turbo-petrol engine to Maruti’s line-up since the discontinuation of the Baleno RS. The Fronx will be available in five trims – Sigma, Delta, Delta+, Zeta and Alpha. We take a close look at what features are offered in each trim.

The new Fronx is one of the very few Maruti models to be offered with two engine options – there’s a new 1.0-litre, three-cylinder turbo-petrol Boosterjet engine as well as the existing 1.2-litre, four-cylinder, naturally aspirated petrol engine, both offered with Maruti’s mild-hybrid tech. The former produces 100hp and 147.6Nm while the latter continues to produce 90hp and 113Nm.
The turbo-petrol engine is offered with either a 5-speed manual gearbox or a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox, while the NA petrol engine gets a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT gearbox. When it comes to claimed fuel efficiency, the 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine delivers 21.79kpl for the manual variant and 22.89kpl for the AMT, whereas the turbo-petrol unit offers 21.5kpl with the manual gearbox and 20.01kpl with the automatic.
The 1.2 NA engine is offered on the first three trims – Sigma, Delta and Delta+. The manual gearbox is standard on all three trims, while the AMT gearbox can be had on the Delta and Delta+ trims. The 1.0 turbo engine will be offered on the Delta+, Zeta and Alpha trims. Again, the manual standard on all trims while the AT gearbox is available on Zeta and Alpha trims.
