How are Fronx interiors better than or at par with Hyundai Venue or Kia Sonet?

One thing that matters a lot to many car buyers, especially if you’re talking about the competitive compact SUV segment, is interior quality. On its costlier end of the spectrum, newer entrant Maruti Suzuki Fronx has to compete against established rivals such as the Hyundai Venue and Kia Sonet that hog the limelight with their premium interiors. Often we'll compare how it feels versus other cars, which isn't a bad thing but it often leads to conversations about material quality, fit and finish, design aesthetics, and the entire feel of the cabin. However, some argue that Maruti has finally managed to play the interior game with the Fronx, which offers a more upmarket feel than any of its predecessors. Others say Korean brands still have an advantage in terms of perceived quality and feature richness. Such debates usually involve measuring things like seat comfort, dashboard layout, infotainment system usability, and small things, that add together to the whole cabin experience. This question often starts a wider conversation about Maruti’s attempt to move upmarket and it is a question of whether they are being able to compete with brands in this space which are more premium positioned.

Maruti has really stepped up their game with the Fronx I think. However, the interior does feel a lot more premium than older Marutis, though it isn’t quite at Hyundai’s level.

I have sat in all three and my opinion would be that the Venue and Sonet still have an edge. It’s just that the materials feel a bit more plush, especially in the top trims.

For its price point, the Fronx interior is perfectly fine. It’s not going to be as flashy as the Korean cars, but it’s functional and well put together.

The Fronx’s design is actually cleaner and simpler and that’s what I prefer. Sometimes the Venue and Sonet interiors feel a bit busy and overdone.

I’m a Fronx owner and the quality is impressive. It’s not luxury car level, but it doesn’t feel cheap or flimsy. The touchpoints are nice.

While the Fronx definitely loses the wow factor to the Koreans, I think the interior is a little more ergonomic and easier to live with day to day.

Then let’s be real, Maruti still has some catching up to do. Hyundai and Kia are still ahead in perceived quality, but the Fronx is better than before.

It depends on what you value, I think. If you want lots of features and a techy feel, go Korean. The Fronx works great if you like simplicity and ease of use.
