Maruti Suzuki Fronx 2025: Lost in the sea of SUVs that tend to look identical after a while, the Maruti Suzuki Fronx 2025 is a fresh sight.
It’s not a full-size S.U.V., nor is it merely a jacked-up hatchback — it’s something in between.
Consider it the hip, urban crossover that isn’t shouting for attention but certainly earns it.
Based on the reliable Baleno but wrapped in a mini-SUV kind of attire, the Fronx is Maruti’s clever answer to India’s insatiable lust for compact cars that look too expensive.
Design: Big, City, and For All The World To See
The design of the Fronx certainly makes a statement right off the bat. Its erect stance, NEXA signature grille and muscular front remind of an entirely different world than what is used to from Maruti’s softly styled universe.
It is the LED DRLs, chunky bumpers and coupe-like rear profile that give it a road presence that is a cut above.
Whether you are cruising through a mall parking lot or filling up a lane, the Fronx gets a second — a not every sub-compact car can say that.
Cabin Experience Home, But Funnner
Jump in and the Fronx feels premium straight away, particularly for regular Maruti users.
The infographic cluster is Baleno-like but gets plush dual-tone interiors with a layered finish and soft touch constituents in the higher spec variants.
Other high-tech touches include a 9-inch SmartPlay Pro+ infotainment system, digital instrument cluster, and AR-based heads-up display.
It will sit 4 adults comfortably, with plenty of leg room and height for everday use.
At 308 litres, the boot may not be best in class, but it’s good for a weekend’s luggage or your supermarket haul. In other words, it’s small but cleverly designed.
Engineance & Performance: The Best of Both Worlds/Header!
The 2025 Fronx still comes with the choice of two engines:
1.2L DualJet petrol (88 bhp) – smooth and frugal, best for city driving
1.0L BoosterJet turbo petrol (99 bhp) – lively and enjoyable to drive aggressively
The 1.2L gets 5-speed manual and AMT options, while the turbo version offers 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters.
For those who prioritise fuel efficiency, the 1.2L is the clear choice— delivering over 21 km/l in everyday driving. But for those who enjoy a bit of pep under the hood, the turbo is surprisingly fun, especially on highways.
Ride quality is set to be on the softer side — there’s a ring of plushness that rains down when you ride over potholes and speed breakers. Handling is not razor sharp, but for a family car, it is well-balanced.
Features & Safety: More is MORE!
Fronx, in true Maruti tradition, is also packed with features that potential buyers would actually be interested in. These include:
Apple CarPlay & Android Auto (Wireless)
Cruise control
360-degree camera
Automatic climate control
Rear AC vents
Wireless charging
Six airbags (in top trims)
ESP, ABS with EBD, hill hold control
The Fronx doesn’t have IAMConnect-level ADAS, like its more upmarket rivals, but the fundamentals are good, and it’s now a whole lot more confident on the safety front.

Maruti Suzuki Fronx 2025: Conclusion: It’s Not Just a Pretty Face
Maruti Suzuki Fronx 2025 demonstrates that utility and elegance don’t always need to be at loggerheads.
It’s a car for the city slicker determined to feel S.U.V.-ish without the bloat that generally brings — for the motorist who wants mpg but doesn’t want to blend in.
It may not be as fully loaded as some Korean or European competitors, but what it does offer — efficiency, style and everyday usability — hits pretty high for the price.
If you want something sharp, sensible and just a touch individual, you need to seriously consider the Fronx.
