For the price difference of just Rs 34,000, the Fronx offer a bigger touchscreen and more safety features over the Brezza

If you are looking for a sub-4m offering with the convenience of a torque-converter automatic transmission for less than Rs 13 lakh, there are many options available, two of which are the Maruti Brezza and the Maruti Fronx. When comparing their automatic variants, the Brezza ZXi AT is priced quite close to the top-spec Fronx Alpha Turbo variant. Let’s see how these compare in terms of specs and features on paper.

Prices

Maruti Brezza ZXi AT	Maruti Fronx Alpha Turbo AT
Rs 12.54 lakh	Rs 12.88 lakh

All prices are ex-showroom Delhi

The ZXi automatic variant of the Maruti Brezza is Rs 34,000 more affordable than the Fronx’s top-spec Alpha Turbo variant.

Dimensions

Width	1790 mm	1765 mm
Height	1685 mm	1550 mm
Wheelbase	2500 mm	2520 mm
Bootspace	328 litres	308 litres

Both the Maruti Brezza and the Maruti Fronx are identical in terms of length; however, surprisingly, the Fronx has a longer wheelbase.

However, the Brezza being a SUV, is 25 mm wider and 135 mm taller than the Fronx crossover which should translate into better headroom and shoulder-room for the former.
The Brezza offers just 20 litres of extra boot space over the Fronx, but it has higher luggage potential with the rear seats folded down.

The Fronx is the only Maruti model in India to offer a turbo-petrol engine option.

Maruti Fronx Interior

For just Rs 34,000 more, the top-spec Fronx is a more value-for-money choice as it not only offers extra features such as a larger 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a wireless charger, and a heads-up display over the Brezza, but it also includes more safety features, including 6 airbags and a 360-degree camera.
The infotainment system in both cars support wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and both come with a 6-speaker ARKAMYS sound system. The audio system in the Fronx here also gets Surround Sense audio features for better acoustics.
The Fronx’ Alpha automatic variant also gets paddle shifters, which is not offered with the Brezza automatic.
Both cars here get necessary amenities like automatic AC, rear AC vents, rear wiper and washer, rear defogger, and tilt and telescopic steering wheel.

Final Takeaway

Although the Maruti Brezza ZXi AT offers all necessary features like a 7-inch touchscreen, automatic AC, and a 6-speaker sound system, the top-spec Fronx Alpha Turbo stands out as a more value-for-money choice. For the premium, it provides additional safety features and modern infotainment experience. However, if you prefer a traditional SUV road presence (and a sunroof too), you can opt for the Brezza at this price.
