The Fronx is the very first SUV-coupe offering from Maruti Nexa, which will sign up with a raft of other compact SUVs.Published On Apr 10, 2023 09:00:00 AMMaruti Suzuki is getting ready to introduce the Fronx, which made its global debut at Auto Expo 2023. It will go into the fiercely competitive compact-SUV segment, and given that the Toyota Urban Cruiser was stopped back in November 2022, the Fronx will go up against seven competitors in total — Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Mahindra XUV300, Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Nissan Magnite and Renault Kiger. We compare it to see how it accumulates in terms of size, powertrains, and specifications.Maruti Suzuki Fronx vs competitors: dimensionsMaruti Suzuki Fronx vs competitors: dimensionsFronxBrezzaXUV300NexonVenueSonetKigerMagniteLength3995mm3995mm3995mm3993mm3995mm3995mm3991mm3994mmWidth1765mm1790mm1821mm1811mm1770mm1790mm1750mm1758mmHeight1550mm1685mm1627mm1606mm1617mm1642mm1605mm1572mmWheelbase2520mm2500mm2600mm2498mm2500mm2500mm2500mm2500mmBoot space308-litres328-litres257-litres350-litres350-litres392-litres405-litres336-litresFuel tank37-litres48-litres42-litres44-litres45-litres45-litres40-litres40-litresWheel size16-inch16-inch16-inch16-inch16-inch16-inch16-inch16-inchThe new Fronx steps 3,995 mm in length, 1,765 mm in width and 1,550 mm in height, and has a wheelbase of 2,520 mm. The Fronx shares the very same length as the Brezza, Sonet, Venue and the XUV300, making it amongst the longest automobiles in this sub-4m sector. Other rivals such as the Nexon, Magnite and Kiger are 2mm, 1mm, and 4mm shorter, respectively, as compared to the Fronx.When it pertains to width, the Fronx sits someplace in the center as it is narrower than the XUV300, Nexon, Sonet, Brezza, and Venue by 56mm, 46mm, 25mm, 25mm and 5mm, respectively. The coupe-crossover is wider than the Kiger and Magnite by 15mm and 7mm, respectively. In regards to height, the Fronx is the quickest in this bunch and measures a substantial 135mm less than the Brezza, which is the tallest SUV.As for the wheelbase, at 2,520 mm, it is longer than many of the SUVs by 20mm, just losing out to the XUV300 by 80mm, which has the longest wheelbase in the class. The Fronxs 308-litre boot is one of the smallest in the section and just larger than the XUV300s by 51 litres. Nevertheless, the SUV-coupe has the tiniest fuel tank size among the competitors. Concerning wheel sizes, all SUVs ride on 16-inch alloys.Maruti Suzuki Fronx vs rivals: powertrains and fuel efficiencyMaruti Suzuki Fronx vs competitors: powertrains and fuel efficiencyFronxBrezzaXUV300NexonVenueSonetKigerMagniteType4 cyl NA/3 cyl turbo4 cyl NA3 cyl turbo/ 3 cyl turbo (TGDi)3 cyl turbo4 cyl NA/ 3 cyl turbo4 cyl NA/3 cyl turbo3 cyl NA/ 3 cyl turbo3 cyl NA/ 3 cyl turboDisplacement1197cc/998cc1462cc1197cc/ 1197cc (TGDi)1199cc1197cc/ 998cc1197cc/ 998cc999cc/ 999cc999cc/ 999ccPower90hp/100hp103hp110hp/ 130hp (TGDi)120hp83hp/120hp83hp/120hp72hp/ 100hp72hp/ 100hpTorque113Nm/147.6 Nm136.8 Nm200Nm/ 250Nm (TGDi)170Nm113.8 Nm/ 172Nm113.8 Nm/ 172Nm96Nm/152Nm (CVT), 160Nm (MT)96Nm/152Nm (CVT), 160Nm (MT)Manual Gearbox5MT/ 5MT5MT6MT/ 6MT (TGDi)6MT5MT5MT5MT/ 5MT5MT/ 5MTAutomatic Gearbox5AMT/ 6AT6AT6AMT6AMT6iMT/ 7DCT6iMT/ 7DCTCVTCVTARAI mileage MT21.79 kpl/ 21.5 kpl20.15 kpl17kpl (non-TGDi)17.33 kpl17.3 kpl18.4 kpl18.75 kpl/ 20kpl18.75 kpl/ 20kplARAI mileage AT22.89 kpl/20.01 kpl19.80kpl-17.05 kpl18.1 kpl/ 18kpl18.2 kpl/18.3 kpl17.7 kpl17.7 kplThe compact SUV segment consists of three type of gas engine choices– the smaller capacity (1.0-litre and 1.2-litre) naturally aspirated systems, the turbocharged (1.0-litre and 1.2-litre) units and the biggest being the 1.5-litre unit, present on the Brezza. Do note that we are not thinking about the diesel engines of the Nexon, Venue, Sonet and XUV300 for this comparison as the Fronx is a petrol-only model.Maruti has actually equipped the Fronx with 1.2-litre naturally aspirated and 1.0-litre, three-cylinder, turbocharged units, the latter of which made its debut in the 2017 Baleno RS. The 90hp, naturally aspirated unit is the most effective among all SUVs that have the exact same displacement. The Brezzas 1.5-litre naturally aspirated system has the highest displacement, and naturally, is also the most effective naturally aspirated design in its class. Nevertheless, do note that this is the only engine alternative on the Brezza.The Fronxs turbocharged system puts out 100hp, which corresponds the Magnite and Kiger turbo. The 147.6 Nm torque figure is the least amongst all SUVs. The Fronx turbo is also less powerful than the turbocharged units present on the Nexon, Sonet, Venue and the XUV300.Speaking of transmissions, the Fronxs 1.2-litre NA engine comes with a 5-speed manual or AMT transmissions. Apart from the Brezza, it is the only naturally aspirated model in this bunch to get an automated transmission option. The Fronxs turbocharged engine gets a 5-speed manual and a 6-speed torque converter automated transmission, the latter of which is special to name a few turbocharged SUVs due to the reality that they get a mix of iMT, AMT, CVT or DCT gearboxes.Fuel effectiveness is likewise an essential point of consideration for this comparison, although its to be noted that the declared mileage figures for the Kiger, XUV300, Sonet and Venue are prior to the application of RDE standards. Aided by mild-hybrid technology, the Fronx, is now the most fuel-efficient compact SUV in both its naturally aspirated (MT, AMT) and turbo petrol (MT, CVT) guises, even eclipsing the Brezza, which previously held that distinction.Maruti Suzuki Fronx vs competitors: priceMaruti Suzuki Fronx vs rivals: priceVersionBrezzaNexonXUV300VenueSonetKigerMagniteMTRs 8.29 lakh-12.48 lakhRs 7.80 lakh-12.35 lakhRs 8.41 lakh-12.75 lakhRs 7.72 lakh-11.08 lakhRs 7.79 lakh-13.09 lakhRs 6.5 lakh-10.23 lakhRs 6 lakh-10.08 lakhATRs 11.15 lakh-13.88 lakhRs 9.45 lakh-13 lakhRs 10.85 lakh-13.37 lakhRs 10.44 lakh-13.81 lakhRs 11.99 lakh-13.89 lakhRs 8.47 lakh-11.23 lakhRs 10 lakh-11.02 lakhThe Fronx will be released in the coming days and is anticipated to have a price of Rs 8 lakh-11 lakh (ex-showroom). In the meantime, the Magnite has the least expensive starting price of Rs 6 lakh, whereas the XUV300 has the greatest beginning rate of Rs 8.41 lakh among all SUVs.This implies the coupe crossover has the Renault Kiger and Nissan Magnite on one end, and the Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Maruti Brezza and Tata Nexon at the somewhat more premium end. It will be fascinating to see how Maruti Suzuki positions the Fronx turbo petrol with the torque converter automatic, among the various turbo-petrol automated contenders.Also see: Maruti Suzuki Fronx evaluation: Return of the BoosterjetMaruti Suzuki Fronx video reviewMaruti Suzuki Fronx: variants, features explainedCopyright (c) Autocar India.
