Maruti Suzuki Fronx has achieved a new milestone in February 2025, setting an all-time sales record. With an impressive 21,461 units sold, it has not only outperformed the Maruti Suzuki WagonR and Hyundai Creta but has also marked its highest-ever monthly sales.
One of the most significant achievements of the Fronx is crossing the 1 lakh sales mark within just 10 months of its launch—an extraordinary feat for Maruti Suzuki’s SUV lineup. But what makes this compact SUV such a blockbuster hit? Let’s find out.
1. Trust in Maruti Suzuki
Maruti Suzuki is one of the most trusted automobile brands in India. Its vast sales and service network ensures that customers can purchase and maintain their vehicles without worry. This trust factor has played a crucial role in the Fronx’s success.
2. Affordable Pricing
One of the biggest reasons behind the Fronx’s popularity is its competitive pricing. With a starting price of ₹7.52 lakh and going up to ₹13.04 lakh (ex-showroom), it offers an SUV experience at a budget-friendly cost. Built on the Baleno platform, it retains a stylish SUV-like appeal while keeping prices lower than many other sub-4 meter SUVs.
3. Stylish SUV Design
Even though the Fronx is based on the Baleno platform, it has a distinctive SUV-like design. Its muscular front grille, sleek LED DRLs, and Grand Vitara-inspired styling give it the feel of a “mini Grand Vitara.” This rugged and modern look has resonated well with Indian buyers.
4. Packed with Advanced Features
The Fronx comes loaded with premium features, making it a standout in its segment. Some key highlights include:
- 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system
- 360-degree camera
- Heads-up display (HUD)
- Automatic climate control
These features provide a comfortable and high-tech driving experience, making it a strong contender in the compact SUV market.
5. Powerful Turbo-Petrol Engine Options
The Fronx is available with two petrol engine options:
- 1.2L naturally aspirated petrol
- 1.0L BoosterJet turbocharged petrol
The BoosterJet turbo engine, previously seen in the Baleno RS, makes a comeback with BS6-compliant technology. It delivers 100 bhp power and 148 Nm torque, making the Fronx one of the most fun-to-drive Maruti Suzuki SUVs.
A Winning Combination for Indian Buyers
The remarkable sales figures of the Fronx prove that Indian buyers love SUVs that offer an attractive design, affordability, strong performance, and a reliable brand. With its soaring popularity, the Fronx is emerging as one of the most talked-about cars of 2025.
