Checked out the Maruti Fronx at a showroom: Quick observations

Its a good looking car. From the rear, I felt it looks a bit like the Mercedes GLA.

BHPian shankar.balan recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

I went to a Nexa showroom nearby with my Dad and took a look at the Fronx. An odd name yes, but I like the car a lot. Some observations:

Feels nice inside. All sorts of safety kit - 6 airbags et al. (Of course we have to wait for the safety ratings.)

A good looking car. From the rear it looks a bit like a Merc GLA. Roomy and comfortable to sit in. Good sized boot. Useful 60:40 split rear seats. No rear seat recline. Front driver seat has all the usual adjustments including height adjustment but the height adjustment doesn't make it to the front passenger seat. Nice 190mm ground clearance will help us in our Indian operating conditions.

That torque converter 6 Speed AT mated to that 1 litre Turbo petrol engine will make for a very nice car with a reasonably good amount of grunt. The paddle shifts are a nice touch as is the 360 degree camera. I think at 16.4 lacs on Road Blr it is going to be hit. It will fly off the shelves rather rapidly.

It will be necessary to upsize the tyres to 205/55/16 that's absolutely for sure.

All in all a very nice family vehicle for 4 persons to travel in considerable comfort and confidence.
