The base-spec Sigma and Delta variants get the greener powertrain with a manual transmission

Maruti introduced the Maruti Fronx, a coupe-SUV based on the Baleno hatchback, in April 2023. Initially, it was available with two petrol engine options. However, Maruti has now added a CNG powertrain to the lineup, making the Fronx the 15th Maruti model to offer a CNG option.

Fronx CNG Price

The CNG powertrain is only available with a manual transmission, similar to other Maruti CNG models. The Fronx CNG is offered in the base-spec Sigma and one-above-base Delta variants, with a premium of just under Rs 1 lakh compared to their respective petrol variants.

Powertrain Details

The CNG option is paired with a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine that produces 77.5PS and 98.5Nm. The CNG variants come exclusively with a 5-speed manual transmission. Maruti claims a fuel efficiency of 28.51 km/kg for the Fronx CNG. In petrol mode, the engine generates 90PS and 113Nm and offers the option of a 5-speed AMT with the regular variants.

The Fronx also offers a 1-litre turbo-petrol engine with 100PS and 148Nm. This engine is available with either a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission.

Features & Safety

The CNG variants of the Fronx come with features such as a 7-inch touchscreen information display with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, keyless entry, automatic climate control, electrically foldable ORVMs, dual front airbags, electronic stability program (ESP), 3-point seatbelts for all passengers, and ISOFIX child seat anchors.
