Is the Fronx’s higher ground clearance actually useful or is it there for show?
The Maruti Suzuki Fronx has a ground clearance of 190mm, more than what hatchbacks and even some compact SUVs get. The ride height is increased in this, and is often pointed out as a key selling point especially in Indian road conditions. But the debate continues as to whether that extra clearance actually offers any tangible benefit in real world use or is simply a marketing feature to give the car a more SUV appearance. They say the higher ground clearance makes it easier to drive over rough roads, speed bumps and waterlogged streets. Skepticism is that the difference is negligible for everyday driving, and that it can come at the expense of handling dynamics. This conversation often continues into how the taller car affects the car's center of gravity, how it handles high speed maneuvers and if it really does make the car more versatile on different roads. The reason this topic draws so much heat is that it can easily spill over to discuss how applicable crossovers are over ground breaking hatchbacks in Indian driving conditions.
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.
