Maruti Suzuki has always been known for making affordable and reliable cars in India. Now, they have launched a stylish and safe SUV called the Maruti Fronx. The biggest highlight of this new model is that six airbags are now standard in all variants. Along with this, the price of the Maruti Fronxx starts at just Rs 7.59 lakh (ex-showroom).
Let us understand everything about this new update in simple words.
What is Maruti Fronx?
The Maruti Fronx is a compact SUV (small size SUV) made by Maruti Suzuki. It is sold through Nexa showrooms, which are premium outlets of Maruti. The Fronx is based on the Baleno hatchback but has a more muscular and sporty SUV look. It is designed for young buyers who want style, performance, and safety at a budget price.
What’s New: Six Airbags Now Standard
Earlier, only top models of the Fronx had six airbags. But now, all variants of the car will come with six airbags as standard. This is a big step for safety because:
- It protects both front and rear passengers.
- Six airbags include: 2 front airbags, 2 side airbags, and 2 curtain airbags.
- This feature is now available even in the base model of the Fronx.
With this move, Maruti has shown that safety is a priority for all customers, not just those who buy higher variants.
