Spy shots reveal a substantially refreshed compact SUV with sharper styling and a major safety upgrade. The changes go beyond a typical mid-cycle refresh, signalling Maruti's aggressive response to rivals adding features faster than ever.
The grille is now larger and more angular with a pronounced character line. Redesigned LED headlamps, reworked bumper with aggressive lower section, and new alloy wheel designs make the Fronx look more contemporary against Venue, Sonet, and Nexon.
A forward-facing camera on the windscreen hints at Advanced Driver Assistance Systems—rare in this segment. Expect autonomous emergency braking, lane departure warning, and adaptive cruise control. Neither Venue nor Sonet offer ADAS standard, making this a genuine competitive edge.
Larger, higher-resolution touchscreen, wireless smartphone integration, and improved material quality are likely. Better climate control, power windows, and automatic headlamps should reach more variants. The dated interior finally gets a proper update.
The 1.2L petrol (83 PS, 113 Nm) and 1.2L diesel (75 PS, 190 Nm) continue unchanged. Manual and automatic transmissions stay. No hybrid planned yet, though Maruti's hybrid push elsewhere leaves room for future consideration.
Current Fronx ranges ₹7.5–₹11 lakh ex-showroom. Facelift may add ₹30,000–₹50,000 premium for new tech and styling. On-road prices in metros will vary by local taxes and dealer margins, but value proposition should hold.
Spy shots circulating now suggest unveiling within months. Maruti's typical 3–4 year update cycle aligns perfectly—current Fronx launched 2023. Official specs and pricing will reveal whether ADAS and cabin quality justify the refresh.
