Maruti Suzuki Fronx: Powertrain

Under the hood, the new SUV by Maruti Suzuki gets two engine options - a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine and a 1.0-litre Boosterjet turbo-petrol unit. For those unaware, the 1.0-litre Boosterjet turbo-petrol engine was offered first with the Baleno RS model in 2017. However, this unit was discontinued by the carmaker due to poor demand and the BS6 transition. Now, Maruti Suzuki has brought this engine back with the recently launched Fronx in India. This unit is capable of generating 99bhp of maximum power at 5,500rpm and 147.6Nm of peak torque between 2,000rpm and 4,500rpm. The 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, on the other hand, is capable of churning out 89bhp at 6,000rpm and a maximum torque of 113Nm at 4,400rpm.
