Discussions and Questions Maruti Nexa Fronx
Is the Fronx’s higher ground clearance actually useful or is it there for show?

Absolutely useful! I’ve driven over some nasty speed bumps and rough patches that would have scraped a regular hatchback. Indian conditions are a real advantage.

Honestly, it’s mostly for show. The Fronx is not different enough from a regular hatch to have any real impact on day to day driving.

During monsoons I find it helpful. When driving through waterlogged streets, it gives me more confidence.

It is nice to have that extra clearance, but it does affect the handling a little. In tight corners there is a higher centre of gravity.

I’ve owned both low riding cars and the Fronx, and I can tell the difference. It's not just marketing hype.

It’s useful, but don’t tell me the Fronx is an off roader, please. It remains a city car at heart, just a little more versatile.

I think it's a good middle ground. It’s not a full SUV, but you get the benefits of higher clearance. It's a perfect car for Indian roads.

The ground clearance is nice, but they should have fixed the approach and departure angles too. That would be really versatile.

I think they could've gotten the same effect with better suspension tuning without raising the body.
Is the Fronx just a jacked up Baleno or does it have its own identity?

It's certainly more than just a raised Baleno. The exterior styling is all different and it really has a unique identity. Also, that higher ground clearance really does matter when actually driving.

Come on, let's be real. In platform shoe form, it's just a Baleno. They are the same interior, same engines, with some plastic cladding slapped on. Maruti is just trying to join the SUV craze bandwagon.

I'd guess it's about in between. Sure, it’s a lot like the Baleno, but the package is different enough. It really changes the vibe of the car.

I can say as an owner it feels quite different from a Baleno. It's also surprisingly different in terms of the driving position, the handling of bumps, even road presence. It's its own thing.

But I don’t think it’s fair to call it just a jacked up Baleno. Fronx has its own character and that unique front end design is something. Technically true, but misses the point, it's like saying the Brezza is just a tall Swift.

But also, let’s not forget the turbo petrol engine option. The Fronx has a sportier edge that the Baleno doesn't have, that in itself. It's a whole different driving experience.

I test drove them both back to back and honestly they feel like different cars. Additionally, the Fronx offers more commanding view of the road and it feels more solid. It's not just marketing hype.
Does the Fronx's design make it unique or just awkward?
31 December 2024 07:55
I think it looks great! It's really eye catching front end and the overall shape is sporty. It's nice to see Maruti take some risk with design.

31 December 2024 07:55
To be honest, it seems a little odd to me. It doesn't work from the side, the proportions are off. They couldn’t decide if it was a hatch or an SUV.

I've seen it in person and it's something that grows on you. I was so confused when I first saw it in photos, but it has a presence on the road that photos can’t quite capture.

The design is very polarizing but that’s not a bad thing. Some buyers want a car that stands out in a sea of lookalike cars, and that’s what the new model does.
