Maruti Suzuki made its foray into the compact crossover segment with the launch of the Nexa-exclusive Fronx in late April 2023. Now, just over six months have passed, and the model has garnered an overwhelmingly positive response from buyers across the country. The evidence of its success is clear in the fact that the company has managed to sell nearly 75,000 units of the Maruti Fronx thus far.
In its debut month, April, Maruti Suzuki dispatched a total of 8,784 units of this subcompact crossover. May and June saw sales figures of 9,863 units and 7,991 units, respectively. However, the real surge in sales began in August when the model achieved its highest monthly sales of 13,220 units. In September and October, the Fronx recorded total sales of 11,455 units and 11,357 units, respectively.
The Maruti Fronx, based on the Baleno hatchback, is available with two engine options: a 1.0L Boosterjet turbo petrol and a 1.2L naturally aspirated petrol. The turbo petrol variants have been particularly popular, with the turbo engine delivering 100bhp and 147Nm of torque. It can be paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. The naturally aspirated gasoline unit offers 90bhp and is available with both 5-speed manual and 5-speed AMT transmission options. Read: New Maruti Swift 2024 Testing Begins In India
