Maruti Fronx: A Look at Its Tech-Savvy and Spacious Interior

Maruti Suzuki has introduced the Fronx, another compact SUV, to its lineup. Positioned below the popular Brezza, the Fronx aims to appeal to young and tech-savvy buyers looking for style, space, and the latest features. As we look closer, we see that the Fronx impresses us with its distinctive exterior styling and modern and well-appointed cabin. In the section below, we'll discuss the spacious interior and technological features of the Maruti Suzuki Fronx.

SUV-Inspired Styling Makes an Impact

The Fronx’s exterior styling sets it apart on the roads. Upfront, an upright grille flanked by sleek LED daytime running lights merges with the Suzuki logo. The front fascia resembles Maruti's bigger SUV, the Grand Vitara. The grey faux skid plates and low LED headlamps on the front bumper add to the rugged appeal.

On the side profile, you can notice design cues borrowed from the Baleno hatchback, like the sloping roofline and similar greenhouse area. Elements like the black body cladding, pronounced wheel arches, and dual-tone alloy wheels give it an SUV-like persona. The raked rear windshield, connected LED taillights, and faux bash plate enhances the overall appeal. Maruti has the exterior design spot-on for those looking to add SUV flair to their garage without going overboard on size.

A Modern and Ergonomic Cabin

Like most new Maruti cars, the Fronx’s interior follows a minimalist design approach using contrasting light and dark shades. The all-black cabin looks smart, with silver accents around the air-con vents, gear lever, and dashboard. The flat-bottom steering wheel has a sporty feel and mounted controls for audio, calls, and cruise control.

The free-standing Smartplay touchscreen infotainment system is easy to view and operate on the go. It offers features like Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, inbuilt navigation, and a vehicle information display. Other vital amenities provided for convenience include automatic climate control, a cooled glovebox, push-button start/stop, auto headlamps, and rain-sensing wipers.

While the Maruti Fronx is focused on providing an efficient and comfortable ride, those looking for more premium features and enhanced performance may also consider the Mahindra XUV700. This SUV offers a larger cabin and a more robust feature set, including an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) and a panoramic sunroof, making it an ideal choice for tech-savvy buyers.

In terms of space, there is ample room for four adults to travel comfortably. The rear bench seat has generous headroom and legroom, even for tall passengers. For carrying luggage, split folding rear seats allow loading up to 308 litres of cargo into the wide boot. With all the seats in place, there is enough space for a couple of medium bags.

Loaded With Latest Gadgets 

In line with its youthful and tech-savvy positioning, the Maruti Fronx offers hi-tech features usually seen in more expensive vehicles. These include:

  • Heads-Up Display (HUD): Projects vital driving information like speed and navigation onto the driver's line of sight. This allows focusing on the road ahead without taking eyes off.
  • Surround Sense: This system provides audio cues for safer parking using ultrasonic sensors on the bumpers. It also helps gauge distance from objects in tight spots.
  • Arkamys Audio: Custom-tuned audio setup with tweeters, speakers and subwoofer for an immersive sound experience.
  • Wireless Charger: It keeps smartphones topped up by just placing the device on the charging pad, reducing wire clutter.
  • Connected Car Tech: Remote operations and vehicle status monitoring through the Maruti Suzuki Connect App. GPS for tracking, geo-fencing, and online services are available.

These intelligent features, paired with the latest engine options, make the Maruti Suzuki Fronx a technologically advanced package for the segment.

Sized Right for Urban Use

When considering dimensions, Maruti has designed the new Fronx with city driving in mind while packing adequate room inside. With an overall length of 3,995mm and height of 1,550mm, the sub-compact SUV can squeeze into tight parking spots and steer smoothly in congested urban areas.

At the same time, a long 2,520mm wheelbase allows for a stable ride both in the city and on highways. The Fronx strikes a good balance between manoeuvrability and high-speed stability within city limits. Despite a relatively lightweight construction, tipping the scales at 1,055-1,060kg, the sturdy build quality prevents body roll around corners.

The Bottom Line

With the launch of Fronx, Maruti now bridges the gap between premium hatchbacks like Baleno and compact SUVs like Brezza. It brings fresh SUV styling that stands out, along with a modern feature-loaded cabin. The new 1.0L turbo petrol engine also promises an engaging drive on top of the regular 1.2L unit. Considering its looks, interior space, equipment, and Maruti’s service network, the Fronx is an exciting new option in the compact SUV space.
