Trending Questions on Maruti Suzuki Fronx - Answered by Autocar Experts
I have been driving a 2016 Maruti Wagon R VXi for nine years and want to upgrade. My budget is ₹10-11 lakh. I need an automatic car with good mileage, sturdy suspension, and comfortable seating for five. I drive about 1,000 km per month (mostly city) with rare highway trips every six months. Please advise.
That is quite a tall order to fit into your budget of Rs 10-11 lakh. However, given your requirements, we would recommend the Nissan Magnite or the Maruti Suzuki Fronx.
Both compact SUVs give the option of a fuel-efficient naturally aspirated petrol engine with an AMT auto gearbox at a good price, or a more powerful turbo-petrol engine with an auto gearbox that's not as fuel-efficient, but much smoother.
Both have robust suspension that should be capable both in the city as well as on the highway. That said, while both can fit 5, the back seat will be a tight squeeze for 3, but at this budget, almost every car would be.
Here, the Nissan Magnite has the edge on space, and overall, it is more affordable and a better value, too. Hence, it would be our pick for you.
My dad currently drives a 2018 Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire Diesel manual, which has run around 1.2 lakh km. He is 65 and mostly drives in the city. We are planning to switch to an automatic for better comfort and convenience. 1. Should we retain the existing Dzire for a few more years or sell it now, considering running cost, age, and expected resale value? 2. If we go for a replacement, is the Maruti Fronx AMT a good upgrade? Any other automatic options (under ₹10–11 lakh on-road) that would be.
The Maruti Suzuki Fronx AMT is a good replacement - its engine is peppy, AMT (automatic) is smooth by segment standards, and the overall experience is likely to be quite trouble-free. You could also consider a Hyundai i20 IVT for its smoother automatic transmission and refined engine.
My parents (both 62) want to replace their old Spark with a new car. Requirements: automatic transmission, high ground clearance, good mileage, a refined engine, and reliable service. They’ve shortlisted the Tata Exter (4-cyl) and Tata Punch (3-cyl). Their concerns are the Punch’s 3-cylinder engine and service, and the Exter’s lack of body-safety ratings. They prefer a compact, easy-to-handle car (not bulky). Budget is under ₹10 lakh on-road. Any other recommendations?
As you've mentioned, the Hyundai Exter is the smoother and more refined car of the two, thanks to its four-cylinder petrol engine.
Its transmission is also relatively more seamless, and overall, Hyundai cars have a better reputation for their sales and support network too.
Other options you could shortlist are the Maruti Fronx or Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor 1.2 petrol AMT.
Hi, I am looking at buying a new car in the coming year. My budget is up to Rs 15 lakh. My current car is a 15-year-old Alto. I am interested in an SUV for Bangalore (notoriously bad traffic and roads). I expect about a 100 to 150 km commute every week for office use, and I may occasionally drive on highways (short distances and not full-blown road trips). My key considerations are safety and reliability, as I have a 1-year-old child.
I own a Celerio ZXi O that I’ve used for six years and want to upgrade to an automatic petrol car. My maximum budget is ₹15 lakh and I prefer low service and maintenance costs. Please suggest options.
Since you prefer a low service cost and an easy-on-the-pocket car, it would be better to stick to Maruti Suzuki as a brand.
Maruti is renowned for low service and running costs and will offer peace of mind, just like the Maruti Celerio has. If you want a bigger car in particular, the Maruti Suzuki Brezza is a good option to consider. It has a roomy cabin, a comfy ride, the automatic is convenient for the city, and the running costs are low, too.
Also, it has a good boot space and holds its value well. The other, more compact option would be the Maruti Suzuki Fronx with a turbo-petrol engine and a 6-speed automatic gearbox. It isn't as big as the Brezza, but it is very nice to drive and quite practical too. Both cars in their top-spec variants will fit in your budget.
I own a 2010 Ritz diesel that has served me well. I’m looking to buy a new sub-4-metre car with an on-road budget of up to ₹13 lakh. My monthly driving is about 800 km, mostly in bumper-to-bumper city traffic, so I want an automatic with a torque-converter gearbox, fuss-free maintenance, and excellent city fuel economy. Please suggest suitable options.
Given your requirements, you should choose between the Maruti Suzuki Brezza and the Maruti Suzuki Fronx.
Both models come with petrol engines mated to a torque converter automatic gearbox, and being a Maruti car, you know they will be reliable and fuss-free to live with.
The Brezza gets a 103hp, 136Nm, 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine, and it has more interior space and features than the Fronx. The Fronx, meanwhile, gets a punchier 100hp, 147Nm, 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, and it comes across as the better-looking model of the two thanks to its coupe-SUV-like design.
In terms of fuel efficiency, the Brezza's naturally aspirated engine should be more efficient than the Fronx's turbo on your daily city commutes.
I live in the hills of Shillong and need an automatic SUV for steep, narrow roads. Traffic is often bumper-to-bumper (1 km can take up to 1 hour). I drive 36 km one way (10 km in city traffic, 26 km on the highway), so 72 km per day total. My home is situated on a 45-degree inclined road. I want an automatic SUV under ₹15 lakh and will buy from either Hyundai or Maruti. Please suggest the right vehicle.
A car with a torque converter automatic will suit your usage best, as it builds power smoothly at low speeds and feels the most responsive. It also crawls easily off the throttle and offers strong hill-hold behaviour. Unlike a DCT, it does not overheat in slow uphill traffic.
In the Maruti Suzuki car, you have two options with this transmission: the Brezza and the Fronx turbo automatic. Between the two, we suggest the Brezza as its naturally aspirated engine delivers smoother power, which is ideal for hilly regions, and it feels nicer to drive around corners.
In a Hyundai car, the only torque converter option in your budget is the Venue diesel. You can get the Venue HX 5 variant if you are comfortable with a diesel engine.
I’m planning to buy a new car for my wife. She currently uses a 2019 Celerio automatic and drives about 30 km daily (≈600 km monthly). I’m looking for an automatic around ₹10 lakh and am torn between the Fronx and the Tiago EV. I plan to use the car for 10 years - would the Tiago EV be a good option? Please advise.
The Tata Tiago EV is a very competent electric car, and being an electric, it will make for a seamless and silent drive experience, no other petrol car can match. Also, being smaller in dimensions, the Tiago EV will be a touch easier to drive and park compared to a Maruti Suzuki Fronx.
Also, it has a better sound system and touchscreen, which your wife may appreciate. If you can arrange for home charging, go for the Tata Tiago EV.
I’m planning to buy my first car. I can drive but not confidently yet, and I’m in the defence forces so I drive only while on leave. Please suggest which car I should buy. I’m considering the Maruti Fronx Delta CNG, Hyundai Venue N, or Toyota Urban Cruiser HyRyder. If you have any other good options, please tell me.
We'd suggest getting a compact car rather than a larger one, which will help you make a judgment easily. Also, since you are likely to drive the car infrequently, it is better to pick a petrol, rather than pay a premium for a corresponding CNG version.
We'd suggest you shortlist the new Hyundai Venue 1.2-litre petrol and the Maruti Fronx/Toyota Taisor 1.2-litre petrol. All of these are smooth and user-friendly options.
Between them, the Venue will feel more spacious, and its high seating and SUV-like driving position will make it a touch easier to drive than the Maruti/Toyota options.
