Maruti Suzuki Fronx undergoes ADAS testing in India

In India, the Fronx is one of the most popular sub-4-meter cars. This Baleno-based crossover coupe has been doing exceptionally well in our market. Recently, a partially camouflaged test mule of the Fronx was spotted driving on Indian roads. This time, the car was equipped with an ADAS kit. In the latest spy photos, the ADAS sensors can be seen on the front grille, which the India-spec car does not have. This suggests that Maruti Suzuki might be considering launching this feature in India. Having said that, the brand might not offer the Level 2 ADAS kit. It is expected to include only the Level 1 ADAS kit with features like high beam assist, lane keep assist, vehicle departure alert, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and lane following assist. Models like the Hyundai Venue and Kia Sonet offer Level 1 ADAS kit in the segment, while the Mahindra XUV 3XO is equipped with Level 2 ADAS technology. Maruti Suzuki…

Maruti Suzuki Fronx long-term review, August 2024 report

After about 17,000 km of companionship, it was time to say goodbye to our trusted long-term vehicle – the Maruti Suzuki Fronx. The moment has finally come! After around 17,000 kms, it’s time to say goodbye to our trusted long-term vehicle – the Maruti Suzuki Fronx. During the time it spent with us – 13 months to be exact – the car has held a special place in not only my heart but also in the hearts of my colleagues and those around me. The car has been back for a few days as I write this, and it wasn’t until the last day that I realised how much a piece of metal, rubber and cables can mean to you if you spend enough time with it. The kind gentleman who was responsible for keeping our favourite filming support vehicle clean on a daily basis started to think that maybe I had owned it and couldn’t stand the thought of…
