Scoop! Maruti Suzuki Fronx Hybrid spotted testing

The Maruti Suzuki Fronx hybrid could arrive sometime in 2026.

According to media reports, Maruti Suzuki is developing a strong hybrid powertrain for its mass-market products. The new powertrain is said to debut on the Fronx facelift (codenamed: YTB).

Now, for the first time, a Maruti Fronx with a hybrid unit under its bonnet has been caught testing. The test mule was spotted on the streets of Gurgaon.

As you can see, the test vehicle had no camouflage whatsoever. It looks like a regular Fronx; that is, until you see the 'Hybrid' badge. On the current model, the ‘Fronx’ badge is on the left side of the boot lid. This one has it on the right-hand side.

Reports suggest that Maruti’s first strong hybrid powertrain will be based on the Z12E engine. It will feature a series hybrid setup, wherein the petrol engine will work as a generator.

If media reports are anything to go by, the Fronx hybrid could arrive sometime in 2026.
