By 2024-25, the Japanese carmaker had exported over 69,000 Fronx units, making it the most exported passenger vehicle during that period.

700 bookings were registered soon after launch announcements in Japan, with deliveries scheduled from October 2024. Along with the Fronx, other Maruti Suzuki models were also listed as the best-performing export vehicles for the brand, such as the Jimny, Baleno, and Swift. While Fronx was exported to other international regions, the brand also received its highest-ever annual export volume of over 3.3 lakh units in that period.
