This variant gets the option of an automatic gearbox but the feature additions are not so significant

The Maruti Fronx’s Delta variant is one above the base Sigma variant and the entry-level AMT variant, which commands close to Rs 1.4 lakh over the base-spec variant. The Delta manual variant demands Rs 86,000 over the Sigma. Here’s what it packs extra over the base variant:

Variant	Manual	AMT
Sigma	Rs 7.46 lakh
Delta	Rs 8.32 lakh	Rs 8.88 lakh
Difference	Rs 86,000

Why Consider The Fronx Delta Variant?

The Delta variant gains a chrome finish for the grille and ORVM-mounted turn indicators, which will slightly enhance its look. Mainly, you get the added convenience of a 7-inch touchscreen system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, which will be very useful in daily driving experience. Another important aspect for choosing it over the base variant is the convenience of an AMT.

Here are the features you get with this variant:

	Exterior	Interior	Comfort and Convenience	Infotainment	Safety
Existing features from Sigma	Halogen projector headlamps 16-inch steel wheels	Dual tone theme Fabric upholstery	Keyless entry Auto AC		ESP Hill hold assist ISOFIX child seat mounts
Other features	Chrome finish for the grille ORVM-mounted turn indicators	Rear parcel tray	Electrically adjustable and foldable ORVMs Steering wheel mounted controls	7-inch touchscreen system Android Auto and Apple CarPlay Four speakers
Upgrade to Delta Plus if you want:	Automatic LED multi-reflector headlamps LED DRLs Alloy wheels

Why Skip The Delta Variant?

For a premium of Rs 86,000, you get ORVM-mounted turn indicators, electrically adjustable ORVMS, and mainly, a 7-inch touchscreen system. The premium feels a bit stretched as the main addition is just the infotainment system. You’d be saving a lot more by opting for an aftermarket unit. If you have the budget for the Delta variant, we would recommend shelling out an extra Rs 40,000 for the next variant that adds LED headlamps, DRLs, and alloy wheels which will make it look more stylish.

Variant	Verdict
Sigma	Recommended for those on a budget. Also consider if you prefer fitting aftermarket accessories.
Delta	Skip. Not worth the price premium.
Delta Plus	Worth the stretch from Delta. Choose if you prefer factory-fit features. Stick with Sigma otherwise.
Zeta	1.2 engine is sorely missed. Most value for money variant otherwise.
Alpha	Acceptable price premium for added features. Can consider. Not value for money compared to competition.
