Maruti Suzuki Fronx: variant break-up, engine details
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.
