Maruti Suzuki Fronx details
The Maruti Suzuki Fronx sits above the Baleno as a lifestyle product but thanks to its vast popularity, it has been a hit across market segments. The reasons behind its success are the refined and supremely efficient petrol engines, good set of features across variants and a likeable exterior design. However, the low-quality interior and lack of a safety rating assurance could be a few of its downsides, which the market doesn’t appreciate.
