I think the tribe has spoken, @Rouxenator should upgrade his Astra for a Fronx when it arrives.
If there ever was a meme-worthy car.

i assume the 1.0 / 1.2 engines are the K10 / 12 suzuki engines? Our K10 engines are non - turbo, from the Alto/Celerio etc, the K12's will be from the Swift/Ignis

2023 Maruti Fronx Review - Team-BHP
Maruti Fronx Pros
• Smart looking crossover with sharp & attractive styling• Feels better built than some other Maruti cars
• 1.0L Boosterjet turbo-petrol engine is quick and has minimal turbo lag. Driveability is satisfactory
• Smart Hybrid system ensures excellent fuel efficiency. ARAI = 20.01 to 22.89 kmpl
• Nicely tuned suspension glides over small bumps, potholes and road imperfections
• User-friendly cabin with loads of space! Can easily seat 5 adults (unlike many competitors)
• Long feature list includes LED auto headlamps, LED DRLs, cruise control, 9-inch touchscreen HU paired with an Arkamys sound system, 360-degree camera, head-up display, rear A/C vents, wireless charging, footwell lighting, tilt & telescopic steering adjustment, connected car features etc
• Safety kit includes 6 airbags, 3-point seatbelts for all, ESP, traction control, hill-hold assist and ISOFIX
• Maruti’s excellent after-sales service, wide dealer network & fuss-free ownership experiences
Maruti Fronx Cons
• On the inside, it’s almost identical to the regular Baleno. Differentiation should’ve been more• Quality of some plastic parts and fabric upholstery is mediocre
• 1.0L turbo-petrol although quick, is not exciting enough for enthusiasts
• 308-litre boot is among the smallest in the segment
• No diesel option like some rivals
• Rear seat’s under-thigh support is lacking for taller passengers
• A few missing features like sunroof, TPMS, rear armrest, drive modes, auto wipers and front parking sensors
• Lesser height means, despite the smart styling, it doesn’t have the road presence of typical crossovers

I'd take that over the 1l
Colour me jaded but these compact turbos smell like a money hole to me.

1.0 = 75kw (its turbo, probably K10C dual jet, like the little Celerio, which is a Vitz, which is a discontinued Agya LOL)
1.2 = 67kw (non turbo like the earlier Swift)

No need for the extra kW. If I want kW Ill just spend more money. I wonder why they didn't just go with the 1.5 they stick into the Brezza?
It really does look like a baleno with higher ride.
I wonder if they come standard with stupid tyre sizes like the baleno?

Indications are that it will be R20k to R30K more than the current Baleno. We are getting around 28 Fronx's and XL6's today to prepare for head office for the launch. We are not allowed to take any photo's.
