Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Maruti FRONX
- Muscular styling commands attention. Looks like a baby SUV.
- Spacious and practical cabin is very well-suited for a small family.
- Choice of automatic with both engine options.
- Covers the basics: 9-inch touchscreen, climate control, cruise control.
Tata Altroz Racer
- Lots of usable power for overtakes
- Highway touring ability is excellent
- Ride and handling balance is very sporty, yet comfortable.
- New features like the larger touchscreen, 360 degree camera and ventilated seats work really well.

Maruti FRONX
- Sloping roofline eats into rear seat headroom.
- No diesel engine option — available with Venue, Nexon and Sonet.
- Missing features: sunroof, leatherette upholstery, ventilated seats.
Tata Altroz Racer
- Performance is not exciting or quick
- Exhaust note is not loud enough to feel sporty
- The Racer cosmetic tweaks like the racing lines look a bit overdone.
