Trending Questions on Maruti Suzuki Fronx - Answered by Autocar Experts

Asked by: Nitin Vaswanion Nov 21, 2025

I want to buy a new automatic car within an on-road budget of ₹12–14 lakh. My monthly running is around 200 km in heavy city traffic, with only a couple of highway trips each year. I prefer a car with good interiors, reliable service support, and features like a 360° camera. Which models should I consider?

The Nissan Magnite Turbo CVT and Tata Altroz 1.2 petrol DCT, both get excellent, smooth automatic transmissions, as well as a 360-degree camera.

Between the two, the Tata car gets our vote for its spaciousness, value, and overall robust build. The Toyota Taisor Turbo AT and Maruti Fronx Turbo AT with the 360-degree camera will be relatively pricier.

However, these brands have a better reputation for service and maintenance.

Asked by: Murali Son Nov 20, 2025

I'm choosing between the Renault Triber, Toyota Fronx, and Maruti Suzuki Brezza. My budget is ₹10–11 lakh. I drive about 5,000 km per year, with ~70% on highways and the rest in the city. Which is most suitable?

From your shortlist, we would rule out the Renault Triber. The MPV is genuinely spacious inside, even in the third row; however, the engine is down on performance.
Given that most of your driving is on the highway, you would be better off with the Maruti Suzuki Fronx or the Maruti Suzuki Brezza.
Both cars are good options, but between the two, if rear seat space is important, we would recommend the Brezza, while the Fronx is the better one to drive.

Asked by: Thomason Nov 19, 2025

I am planning to upgrade from the Grand i10 to a more fuel-efficient and comfortable car. I am confused between the Maruti Fronx and the Tata Punch EV. My budget is below Rs 10 lakh. Usage is mainly in the city, with occasional long drives of around 500 km one way.

The Tata Punch EV is an excellent choice for intra-city drives. However, for the occasional, 500km long drives, choosing an EV is a challenge and will require careful planning on your part, particularly due to limited charging infrastructure. Solely for that reason, it is better to pick the Maruti Suzuki Fronx.

Asked by: Sureman Vermaon Nov 16, 2025

My budget for new car is 12-13 lakhs and I prefer smooth Automatic with daily 20 km running mostly in cities and occasionally Highway and Rural. Pls suggest value for money, low maintenance cost and fuel efficient car.

Since your usage is mainly in the city, with occasional highway and rural drives, a small SUV would suit you well. Your options include the Tata Punch, Hyundai Exter and Maruti Suzuki Fronx.

The Tata cars stand out for their tough build and well-balanced ride, and handling. This becomes especially noticeable on the highways.

The Hyundai Exter, on the other hand, has lighter controls and a smoother AMT compared to the Punch. This makes it feel more at home in the city

The Maruti Fronx sits somewhere in the middle. It has the highest claimed fuel efficiency (22.89kpl for the 1.2 AMT). Plus, Maruti cars are typically the easiest to maintain and live with.

Asked by: Darshilon Nov 14, 2025

I want an automatic car with a budget up to ₹13 lakh on-road. I’m torn between the Kia Sonet HTX DCT and the Maruti Suzuki Dzire (top AT/AGS). My driving is mostly city (70-80%), so fuel average and safety are my top concerns. Which should I choose, and are there better alternatives within my budget?

Of the two options, we'd recommend you go for the Maruti Suzuki Dzire AMT ZXI Plus. It delivers significantly better fuel economy in city driving conditions, and there's the reassurance of knowing it's a 5-star Global NCAP-rated vehicle. The Dzire in top-spec form also packs in quite a bit by way of features.

An alternative is the Maruti Suzuki Fronx Turbo AT Alpha. While its turbocharged engine is not as fuel-efficient as the Dzire's engine, real-world mileage is still good by class standards. There's also the added advantage of a smoother 6-speed automatic transmission.

Asked by: Chinni Rakesh Baon Nov 12, 2025

I am a first-time car buyer and planning to keep it for 10 years. Small family of 3. My budget is around ₹10 lakh on-road. Automatic is mandatory for my family. I will be driving in the city and on highways. I may cover 500 to 1000 km per month, including highway and city drives. Explored Punch, Exter, Glanza, Taisor, Baleno, and Magnite, all base variants or one above base. As I am going to use the vehicle for 10 years, which automatic variant is recommended from the above list? Any other suggestions, please?

While all the cars on your shortlist have their highlights, we’d suggest the Maruti Suzuki Fronx AMT. It has a nice and efficient engine, the AMT gearbox is good enough, and the extra ground clearance will come in handy on bad roads. More than anything else, however, it’s Maruti Suzuki’s stress-free ownership experience that you’ll really appreciate over the 10 years you plan to use your vehicle.

If you want a smoother gearbox and don’t mind compromising slightly on fuel economy, the Hyundai i20 iVT and Honda Amaze CVT are also worth considering.

Asked by: BINU NAIRon Nov 12, 2025

I’m looking for a car that offers better performance and fuel efficiency than the i20. My yearly running is around 6,500 km. It should be spacious and easy on the wallet in terms of maintenance. Should I go ahead with the Fronx 1.0L turbo manual variant?

The Maruti Suzuki Fronx with the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine is a very good choice. Its superb petrol engine is eager to rev and delivers strong performance while maintaining good fuel efficiency.

Rear-seat space is adequate, and it rides better than the Hyundai i20 while being more affordable to maintain. The manual gearbox is slick, and overall, this Maruti Suzuki car is an enjoyable and practical car.

Asked by: Aaryanon Nov 12, 2025

Hi, I’m looking to buy a car. My budget is ₹10 lakh. My main considerations are mileage, safety, and frequent drives through rough roads in hilly areas. I have shortlisted the Tata Punch and Maruti Suzuki Fronx. Would any of these make sense? If not, what would be the best alternative option?

Between the ones you shortlisted, the Maruti Suzuki Fronx would be the better choice. The main reason is the performance, which is better than the Tata Punch and something you would need in hilly regions. This Maruti Suzuki car is also better in terms of efficiency and has a comfy ride over bad roads. As a package, the Fronx is the better choice.

Asked by: Minaon Nov 11, 2025

Is the automatic Ignis a good buy under ₹10 lakh for city driving, good mileage, and low maintenance?

The Maruti Suzuki Ignis AMT has a nice engine, delivers good fuel economy, and is affordable to maintain. While it is a decent choice of an automatic car for city driving, there are other options for under Rs 10 lakhs.

We'd recommend you look at the Maruti Suzuki Fronx AMT too. It is more spacious than the Ignis, and delivers a more comfortable ride too, while also offering good fuel economy and low maintenance costs.

Asked by: ARDon Nov 11, 2025

I’m planning to buy an automatic car that offers good seating and driving comfort. My weekly running is around 250-270km, and my budget is around ₹10 lakh.

If you want a polished driving experience, we suggest choosing between the Hyundai i20 (Magna IVT variant) or the Honda Amaze (V CVT variant). Both of these Hyundai and Honda cars offer a premium experience thanks to their CVT transmissions, which are smooth, user-friendly, and efficient.

Most other options at this price point come with basic AMT gearboxes that aren’t as refined or seamless to drive. However, if you’re okay with that, you can consider the Maruti Suzuki Fronx (Delta AMT or Delta+ AMT variant). This Maruti Suzuki car is also spacious and provides good seating comfort.
