Maruti Fronx Expected Prices: How Much Pricier Will It Be Over The Baleno?

Maruti has already shared almost all details of the crossover SUV including its variants and technical specifications

Update (24/04/23): Maruti has launched the Fronx crossover SUV in India, starting from Rs 7.47 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).

Maruti’s Baleno-based crossover SUV, the Fronx, is about to enter the market soon. One of its biggest attractions is that it marks the carmaker’s return to the turbo-petrol space. We already know almost all details of the Fronx including its variants, technical specifications and features. While we wait for the prices to be officially announced, we can make an informed estimate about its likely prices.

But before we take a deep dive into the expected variant-wise prices, let’s check out the powertrain details of the crossover:

Maruti has even equipped the turbo-petrol unit with its mild-hybrid technology. A recently spotted test mule also suggests that the carmaker might be working on a CNG version of the Fronx.

Its equipment list is almost identical to that of the Baleno including a heads-up display, cruise control, a nine-inch touchscreen and a 360-degree camera. The only additional feature on the Fronx is the wireless phone charger. Its safety net consists of electronic stability programme (ESP), up to six airbags, ISOFIX child seat anchors, and rear parking sensors.
