The Maruti Suzuki Fronx has achieved the sales milestone of 1 lakh units since its launch in April 2023. The sub-4 metre compact SUV took merely 10 months to reach this mark, becoming the fastest car ever in India to do so.

With this milestone, the Maruti Suzuki Fronx has beaten the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, which was able to touch 1 lakh units in volume in 12 months.

According to Maruti Suzuki India's Senior Executive Officer for Marketing and Sales, Shashank Srivastava, the Fronx was instrumental in more than doubling the company's SUV segment share to 19.7% in 2023 from 10.4% in 2022.

The Fronx has a couple of engine options -- 1.2-litre Dual-Jet Dual-VVT petrol (89.73PS of maximum power and 113Nm of peak torque) and 1.0-litre Turbo Boosterjet petrol (100.06PS of maximum power and 147.6Nm of peak torque). While the 1.2-litre unit can be paired either with a 5-speed MT or a 5-speed AMT, the 1.0-litre unit gets 5-speed MT and 6-speed AT choices.

There is also a CNG option with the 1.2-litre Dual-Jet Dual-VVT petrol engine (77.5PS and 98.5Nm) clubbed with a 5-speed MT.

The company claimed that the automatic variants of the Fronx contributed 24% to the total volume.
