[@prahladarora1875]

This car is going to sell like hot cakes.. haters can keep ranting

[@sudhanshusingh6115]

Hopefully the ranting will get better cars in the future. You enjoy your death traps for now.

[@prince2.22]

Safety Left the chat😂😂

[@shahan484]

Yeah it just looks great and i already want one. Instead of venue and stuff, get this coupe

[@ravitejat19]

Can also be crushed like a cake too

[@rukkumanithirupathi3635]

And gonna get smashed by a random Tiago like a pancake

[@anandhanofc]

The design is something wow, never expected from Suzuki

[@him_anshu]

Autocar reviews are soo on point. No jazz and just plain Auto Journalism. Something that you'd like to see more but does not exist. Good Job Sergius! 👏🏽

[@sergiusbarretto]

Thank you

[@shivvashishthabhargava4600]

The 1.0L Boosterjet was always a real charmer. The Fronx will do wonders for MSIL.

[@puneethgowda3717]

Proper upgrade for my baleno best city slicker especially the 6 speed auto

[@ss877S]

Fronx looks really good. Great design❤

[@prateeksharma2360]

Tough times ahead for magnite and kiger

[@abhinavanil343]

That's completely based on the pricing actually, the brezza was overpriced and if Suzuki does the same once again Magnite and Kiger would easily sell

[@16green]

Nice observation. There is no point striking about magnite and kiger apart from safety. Renault and Nissan are surely going to fail in India if no new car comes from them within a year.

[@mananshah3620]

When did they have good times? 😂

[@Iminit4matador]

Spot-on

[@summerslider2487]

Dead

[@sarthakshewale4493]

Loved it, Fronx is actually a good car with good engine.

[@prajjwaljha6897]

While Sergius' reviews aren't Initially very attention grabbing since they're not "dramatic/hyped" They have really grown on me, and how! It's very refreshing to see the no-nonsense and factual approach he has, in his reviews. Proper profesionalism!

[@sergiusbarretto]

Thank you

[@yesvanthv]

Yes this guy is the best in autocar... Full of info... No nonsense...

[@vyshakreghukumar995]

Personally, I feel like the red Fronx while doing off-roading does look like a large SUV. While the Jimny was the showstealer till now, I'm sure that down the line Fronx will also witness increased sales.

[@MrJOHNKURIAN]

And another winner from Maruti 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ss877S]

Fronx is a great product by Nexa 🔥

[@Prakharsinha07]

If Maruti Suzuki can price it correctly then for Tata Punch it's "Khatam Tata Goodbye Gaya". Better looks,more comfort,better engine,better after sales,better drive quality except good build quality Fronx ticks all the boxes it can even affect the sales of its own sibling Baleno. Clever move by Maruti Suzuki at the right time.

[@hamrazhaneefa]

Fronx just looks amazing. A bet it will go on to become the segment leader.

[@nkj9683]

Segment me aur koi car hi nahi hai to kaha se leader banegi?

[@RiyajJayaprakash]

This is the front end that we wanted for grand vitara

[@mukeshsharma-fd3wn]

Sergius' reviews. Super amazing and factual.

[@sergiusbarretto]

Thank you

[@JagjeetSingh-fh7sn]

Finally ,, waited a whole life for this review.

[@saveenkumar4249]

Must be waiting to buy it just like me 😅

[@abhishekgiri1201]

I find it very good looking. If only Maruti had the safety of a Tata then it would have 100% of the Market!!

[@KicstarV]

2:44, That's what se said.

[@aviksanyal2527]

Indeed a crossover - that between Baleno and Brezza. Maruti didn’t have to do much!

[@oyeah3618]

Sergius sir is one of mine favorite reviewer man

[@sergiusbarretto]

Thank you

[@satyamkalgude3902]

Might be the first Maruti car that I liked a bit

[@Syptah47]

Wow, S-Cross front end .. LR Evoque back end! .. what a stunner!

[@ag135i]

You pointed out absolutely a major flaw of marutis the damn steering don't return to the original position on it's own despite being power assisted infact the mechanical ones return quickly and easily to the central position.

[@baskarsathya9300]

A thoroughly professional video review covering all the aspects that every car buyer across various sections looking for to.

[@sergiusbarretto]

Thank you

[@runningfellow]

If MSIL Price it correctly, it will take some Tata Share which is currently a big threat to Maruti. If MSIL fails to price it properly then it will cannibalize Baleno and Brezza

[@MegaWazir]

Had they named it Frontier instead of Fronx, meaning behind the car name would have been preserved and the name would have been much more classy. Fronx feels too casual to me.

[@jayeshmv]

After a long time, great design by MS. I wish they had made sleeker interior, all MS car interior looking the same in recent times.

[@na4463]

How are the NVH levels with this 3 pot engine in the Fronx ?

[@mahendra_akshaj]

Another winner from maruti 👌👍👏👏

[@rosh9414]

Maruti should remove the SUV tag from this hatchback. People will buy an expensive Baleno from now on!!

[@user_baalu__1208]

Actually launching this as baleno would've been best decision by them! This car will be CashCow and they could've made more profit by baleno name!

[@mahendra_akshaj]

Nobody can beat maruti in india, nobody Its wowwww

[@taranshupattnaiktp3335]

Couple of things didn't liked about the Fronx 1. The name is very unusual 2. Boosterjet engine only kicks out 100hp 3. High loading lip for the boot 4. Soft seats 5. No CVT for 1.2 petrol Also what is left is the crash test rating. It has to get it done by Global NCAP.

[@akshatmathur991]

They tuned it till 100hp as brezza and grand vitara 4×4 has 1.5 ltr na of 105 hp so they can't betray them.

[@govind9402]

Cvt is shit

[@superkamiguru7985]

Will consider this if it has at least 3 star safety rating.

[@rameshbalatrack572]

Stick to Bata Munch itself.. make sure you carry a fire extinguisher

[@superkamiguru7985]

@@rameshbalatrack572 lol why're you offended? Is it a crime to want safer cars?

[@pavanyaragudi]

I read it got 5 in Euro Ncap. Not sure.

[@kamleshk7272]

Fronx is very good looking car . Great product by nexa

[@sunilgeorge4284]

Looks to be an excellent design overall, but pricing is what is going to decide its faith...according to maruti should price it in the range of Kiger/Magnite

[@cobalt8585]

This is gona rule the road ❤❤

[@mahi98goodguy]

I drive a diesel alpha 2019 baleno.... It clocked 1.5l kms and recently overhauled suspension and bang it's as good as new and easily achieves 25kmpl on highways if I maintain 80kmph

[@Nxrxn23]

I feel the Fronx's tail light looks like a retro version of the Maruit Esteem

[@nirmalraj8864]

If only Maruti had decided to balance out some of the fuel efficiency for the sake of safety.

[@M4NA5]

Nice looking crossover from Suzuki.

[@rahulroy8950]

Dear autocar, please review the 1.2 NA fronx too. Not everyone wants a turbo petrol. Also please update us on the ride quality of Fronx, especially compared to its sibling Brezza. Is the suspension more stiff than brezza? Are uneven roads & potholes more felt inside the cabin?

[@Mahesh-jy7df]

THANKYOU........

[@agcc137]

What about NVH levels on all engine options? Recently drove the 1 Ltr Virtus. It felt like an Alto!

[@3rdclasstatamahindrabajajRE]

😂😂 in India, very few % of ppls give priority to NVH.

[@Noname-y9r3j]

1.2 liter is super refined but not sure about the 1 liter turbo 🤔

[@sauravmitra687]

It's the benchmark for raised hatchbacks.

[@Shinto.12]

Is there an option to build the fronx with a tata steel body?

[@SM-ih3go]

Yes there is a variant which you can build. Body of tata, engine of mahindra, interiors of hyundai, mileage of Maruti. Its called "kuch bhi" variant.

[@sarthakshewale4493]

Sorry we don’t want Fronx to have rusting issues

[@krishnasasank7544]

What's the global ncap score?

[@bmk7890]

It could get a proper suv stance if the glass area is like brezza. Is there any change in gauge for body panels?

[@realsforfoodball4520]

What is the global ncap rating?

[@NathanSubramani]

Is there a toyota version to Fromx?

[@kartikchand1805]

Fronx Alpha should be available with rear disc brakes to justify its price

[@Tinasharma123]

Baleno, with change of name, right? With a 16 inch tyre?

[@kumaravelraja3]

Build and safety?

[@ThePseudoBasher]

Why no rear seat armrest?

[@mohitm4]

One of the sexiest car in Indian market now 👏🏼

[@haider4946]

I have booked Baleno. Now confused between Baleno and Fronx 1.2 Dual Jet Engine. Which one should I buy? Please suggest.

[@rishibajpai2976]

How many stars in NCAP Test ??.

[@naveen143528]

What will be price of the alfa variant and when the delivery starts ?

[@bahhaidebbarma8854]

A perfect Hatchback 🚗

[@dattendradattu7010]

Eagerly waiting for the prices

[@naiknishanth8846]

my next car is FRONX without a doubt

[@nerdymonk]

Top review by Sergius and very good product by Maruti. I'm just curious whether the 1.2 being a 4 cylinder is more refined than the 3 cylinder boosterjet. Can anyone respond on that ?

[@sergiusbarretto]

Thank you and as for the refinement of the two engines, we will be doing a back to back hopefully soon, but if you're worried about the boosterjet because its a 3 cylinder you shouldn't be. It's refined and also does not have that typical 3 cylinder loud thrum at idle.

[@nerdymonk]

Thanks for the response Serg

[@govind9402]

I feel this will sell in good numbers

[@viralengine908]

Putting the brezza's 1.5 in it might get me interested

[@nomadUCL]

Packaging problem

[@divyanshpandey8703]

The gear thing is what I would love to see🎉

[@n4suksesdong007]

Top speed fronx?

[@rohitvenu]

awesome review!

[@rajbanshuidrom767]

This is a direct threat to Grand Vitara and rather an indirect threat to kiger and magnite😂😂

[@sayyamgaur117]

What a car! Masterstroke by maruti unexpectedly. It will eat up the sales of brezza and to some extent of grand vitara too!

[@danishnaqvi786]

High time Magnite kiger upgrade their niggles and provide features like sunroof to break through upcoming punch and fronx. Else their sales would surely decline.

[@DrDre-sy2kv]

Better option than grand vitara in my perspective

[@PlumleeMuse]

Maruti has upped it's game

[@speedbird868]

This car looks much more value for money proposition than the ugly looking Nexon...Fronx looks better and feels more mature...

[@swtmini7247]

I have Etios Liva 2018 Petrol i want to upgrade due to low power and fuel economy and boring interior of etios liva my car with Fronx Is this a good decision please suggest anybody

[@ducatimultistradav4850]

Mini GV 😍

[@vikaskhamkar1110]

"baleno on steroids"😁😁

[@MrAshwijshenoy]

Whatever nonsense Maruti makes, people will keep buying. Tata and Mahindra have to put in a lot of hard work to further ingress into the consumer market due to their previous bad reputation.

[@BroZedd]

tata and mahindra lack in everything other than safety , 7 ot of 10 tatas dont even start properly

[@3rdclasstatamahindrabajajRE]

​@@BroZedd 😂😅😢👌

[@eugenevandermerwe3386]

Excellent review!!! Not constantly stating the manufacturers info, but providing real life, honest experience. Well done to sound, camera work and presentation.

[@nikhilc3933]

Everyone say negative points about Maruti Suzuki , but only Middle class Family know how much they love This car company.... Becoz for this price segment every one can afford car for family... Hope in future they will update more safety features in their cars....

[@abhilashbhardwaj5966]

Dear Magnite and Kiger. Thank you for your service. Sayonara...

[@thecerebrum.]

Have they upgraded the chassis? Hope it’s safe, that’s the only bummer of MS cars

[@rockymeto]

Will it shared with toyota?

[@user-dp48ry5]

A drag race of this with Kiger CVT please.

[@koffeeclub]

Kiger lacks power

[@amaljoe367]

​@@koffeeclub not the turbo cvt version

[@shree397]

this is the only maruti car I would ever buy if introduced with 4 or 5 star rating. I don't like maruti at all because of its safety, but is Maruti Brinks even 4star this is going to be one heck of a car.

[@parekhtraders6707]

They are making competition for there own product

[@sahildadhwal]

Everything looks good but just wondering about the safety

[@AtulKumar-sw6fc]

Modern automatic cars have computers, which are 4 times faster than human brain. These computers keep on monitoring speed, braking, acceleration, turning, fuel usage etc. every second. The computer in Fronx Alpha Automatic use the data to maximize the fuel consumption, for better average. Driving with light foot and avoiding the tendency to race the car does wonders with fuel economy. The Driving style is constantly monitored by computer and fuel supply to engine is constantly tuned to the style of driving of the individual. When the style gets stabilized, the fuel intake and other parameters also get stabilized, which change only when the driving pattern changes drastically. My fuel economy has improved as follows - (A) Bumper to Bumper traffic - initially average was 8 or 9, then improved to 11 now comfortably giving 13 kmpl. (B) congestion free roads - initially average was 10 or 11, then improved to 12 now comfortably giving 14 to 16.5 kmpl. (C) Suburbs - 18.5 kmpl. (D) Highways - Not tested so far. Driving with a light foot and a little imagination and patience results in very impressive mileage.

[@pritamswarupajena1194]

Nice review.

[@sergiusbarretto]

Thank you

[@sudhirnaik9723]

Is Fronx only India based model or Global

[@sujibkumarmondal]

Would look great in black or maybe in dual tone with white.

[@miteshthacker5370]

I like so many things about this car. But interiors are not one of them. Unfortunately that's the view the buyer gets.

[@secretspeaker4465]

I have a i20 ACTIVE SX FULL OPTION... Years back, Polo Cross, Punto Aventura , Figo Freestyle... what a old but late entry segment

[@drgovindpillai8761]

Looking forward to the safety rating

[@ahsankharbai]

2-3 stars for adults and 1 for kids... maruti cannot manage more than that under 12 lakhs🤐

[@ravikumars5164]

3 start probably, build quality might be ok, but steering is light, while it is good in city it is very risky in highway speeds.

[@siddheshtulaskar7132]

Fronx 1.2 litre Delta Plus variant is the most VFM

[@prasadv4310]

Price please

[@kaarthikarasu6437]

Great Wrk Autocar, nw what matters is Maruthi's pricing! Hw is the booster engine going to be priced!

[@ketanparmar581]

Dosent the front look like abit harrier look?

[@xfinitysage7346]

Manuals forever 🤌

[@dark420passenger]

Still haven't found any decent car to replace my Skoda Octavia mk1 diesel
