Maruti Suzuki Fronx 1.5: Key Details
In South Africa, the Maruti Suzuki Fronx is now available for purchase for R 279,000 (about Rs 12.23 lakh, ex-showroom). The engine has received the most substantial change, though the model's bodywork is identical to the India-spec version. The car available in South Africa has a larger 1.5-litre petrol engine and is available with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. This setup claims to have a maximum power output of 103bhp and an optimal torque output of 138Nm. For the uninitiated, the Fronx has two engine options in India: a 1.2-litre normally aspirated engine and a 1-litre turbo-petrol engine. Additionally, the global-spec Fronx SUV can be had in two trim levels: GL and GLX. The India-based model, on the other hand, comes in five variants: Sigma, Delta, Delta+, Zeta, and Alpha.
