Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Is it better than Baleno?
  • Both the cars are good in their forte. There’s a lot to like about the Fronx, and little to fault. It brings with it a likeable balance between a premium hatchback, a sub-compact SUV and a compact SUV. The Fronx is ticking the basics of style, space, comfort and everyday usability. A few more features or a smaller asking price would’ve made it a whole lot easier for us to recommend it. On the other hand, the new Baleno is still a safe and sensible choice. Now with the design changes, feature additions, and improved drive, it has become more desirable too. Some things could have been better though. Maruti Suzuki should have improved the seating comfort, given it a more powerful petrol engine option, and made more significant changes to the exterior to help it look like a brand-new car. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your city accordingly for dealershipdetails.

    Opinion seltos 

    I own seltos petrol.As per my opinion seltos is the best badass in suv segment i purchase seltos in 2021 and till now i have no issues in my car, Mileage is reached 20 if you driven car in softing way your car on highway, Otherwise in city 10-11km/litre, Build quality has little issue, Body is not as expected otherwise although i have never touched my car in 3 years, My car have one hand always so driven is very soft and no issue.At last i say this is must buying car if you compromise with bulid quality.And driven softly, Otherwise you enjoy very much.Lovely car 🚗❣️.

    Maruti Fronx: Stylish and Practical 

    My journey with the Maruti Fronx began with a long drive to the beach road of my city. The crossover's sleek design caught everyone's eye wherever we go. Its 1.0 liter Boosterjet engine, which produces 98 bhp and 147 Nm of torque, delivered a commendable performance on smooth roads but I felt it lacked the powerfull on rough surface.The 340 liter boot space was enough for our picnic essentials and the interior felt modern with its 9 inch touchscreen display.

    bigger and better 

    Starting from a decent price in the market, the Maruti Fronx is a better version of maruti. My sister had bought this model recently and has given excellent feedback on the same. She says that it is quite easy to drive owing to its convenient size. Her favourite thing about this model is its accessibility. The inner cabin is too comfortable and spacious. Exterior is awesome, owing to the maroon colour, it turns heads on road.

    to empower the next generation  

    Captivative style that catches attention and a performance that remains unmatched, the maruti fronx car is available in India and its value begins with a fair number within the affordability range. I own the black colour of this car, which looks magnificent and stands unique. The powerful engine offers great torque that delivers a great performance. The seat is quite comfortable. I would surely recommend this to all based on my personal experience with this model, as i have also went on two trips with it hassle free.

    Litre engine 

    Drove the 1-litre turbo automatic top end with paddle shifts and boy the car is fast and sure footed.From the smooth pickup at start, To the mid range of 60 and to the top speed of my drive to 100kmh, There was no lack in power.The shifts are almost non existent and the brakes are good too.For a premium of over 14-lakhs on-road for a 1-litre engine, It will keep us customers in-doubt to book one, Against the class leading feature loaded competition mid size suv's.

    Fronx futuristic drive 

    My pal got the Maruti Fronx. It's be­en cool! The car is super che­ap for what it is. That's great if you don't have much money. It's small, so it's e­asy to park in tight spaces. But there are­ some not-so-good things too. The engine­ feels weak on highways, e­specially with lots of people or stuff. And the­ inside doesn't have all the­ new features othe­r cars have. Still, the Maruti Fronx is a good choice for driving around town or short trips.

    Bold & Advanced 

    The Maruti Fronx is a car I've­ driven around town for some time now. It's an affordable­ choice if you're on a budget. Parking this small ve­hicle is easy. Inside, the­re's more room than you'd expe­ct. But, the engine powe­r is lacking, particularly at highway speeds. The cabin noise­ might bother some. Howeve­r, for daily city drives, this economical and practical Maruti could suit you well. It has both pros and cons to we­igh up.
