Maruti's Crossover in new spy shots:

Quote:
can see the floating infotainment system like the Baleno hatchback. Other than that, we can spot an almost upright tailgate design. The side profile looks quite proportionate even with the tapering c-pillar. We also get a glimpse of the front, which looks identical to the Grand Vitara. Also, the alloy wheel design is the same as the Baleno.

Can the Baleno Coupe style with the boosterjet be an enthusiast's car?

re: Maruti planning new crossover based on the Baleno. EDIT: Launches "FRONX"!

Maruti YTB Baleno based cross could be named Flash / Blaze,

- Possible introduction of all-wheel drive
- Design to ape the Grand Vitara, look like a proper cross-over
- Possible name could be Blaze or Flash

Looks like since Maruti has priced the GV at a premium it's looking to cash in on tax rebate for the 1.2 NA engined Baleno for some extra sales. If priced right the increased GC would come in handy. Would it cannibalise the sales of GV and normal Baleno: remains to be seen.

All wheel what?!
Am pretty sure someone misheard all wheel disc brakes.

If it comes with AWD that would be something else. Though I would want to say that they maybe looking at increasing the production scale of the AWD system used in the Grand Vitara, most probably this will be having the lesser AWD system as in the Ignis and Swift. That is, if it is coming at all.

Blaze? Flash? Belongs to the plastic side panels of some scooters. Maybe add an 'r' to the Blaze and then we are talking. Anyway GM is not coming back anytime soon.

re: Maruti planning new crossover based on the Baleno. EDIT: Launches "FRONX"!

Hope Maruti brings the 2023 end mandate of 6 airbags with this model across all variants. Just like they did with the Baleno with 2 airbags from the base variant.

The specs are right there with the magnite which genuinely has a very sound and well tuned CVT. Build wise it's possibly going to be similar, but Maruti will be better screwed together.

This would be expected to be priced higher than magnite by about 60k and about 1.6L more than the Baleno ( 70 for turbo engine and 70 for crossover stance and 20 for onroad addons).

It is 99 % all wheel discs and not AWD.

My only wish instead of the AMT gearbox of baleno it gets the proper 6-speed TC used in brezza and up.

re: Maruti planning new crossover based on the Baleno. EDIT: Launches "FRONX"!

According to most available information car is built with Suzuki TECT as usual. The ambiguity is in regards to the platform. Is it Global C like Brezza and Grand Vitara or Heartect platform of Baleno ? If Global C platform, this car can do almost all the tricks including safety. Hoping against hope !!

The car is 'Baleno Based'. There is no way they could've used Global C platform instead of Suzuki TECT platform from Baleno.
