Maruti Suzuki Fronx Expected Price: Tata Punch & Nissan Magnite Rival

The Maruti Suzuki Fronx will be the Indo-Japanese automaker's first significant product introduction this year. The NEXA dealership network will primarily sell the Baleno-based SUV coupe.

Reservations for the Maruti Fronx are currently open, and the vehicle is expected to hit the market in March 2023. The model range will be divided into five trim levels: Sigma, Delta, Delta+, Zeta, and Alpha.

The small crossover's entry-level form is estimated to cost approximately Rs 8 lakh, while the fully-loaded variant may cost around Rs 11 lakh (all, ex-showroom). If introduced in this price bracket, the all-new Fronx will compete with a variety of vehicles, including the Tata Punch, Nissan Magnite, Renault Kiger, Hyundai Venue, and Kia Sonet.

Today, the Punch, Magnite, and Kiger are priced between Rs 6 lakh and Rs 9.54 lakh, Rs 6 lakh and Rs 10.94 lakh, and Rs 6.50 lakh and Rs 11.23 lakh, respectively.
