Pros & Cons

Sonet Pros & Cons	Fronx Pros & Cons
Pros	It has become more stylish than its previous generation The car comes with features like a 360-degree camera, a 4-way powered driver seat, a BOSE 7-speaker sound system, auto-dimming IRVM, wireless charging, and more. The design includes a dual-screen connected panel with a full digital cluster. It has a 10.25-inch color LCD MID and a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment. It is available with 3 engine options: 1.2-litre NA petrol, 1.0-litre turbo petrol, and a 1.5-litre diesel engine. The HTK+ variant is available with all three engine options making it a good option. Diesel engine is available starting from the base HTE variant Different types of transmission options are available depending on the engine. The DCT gearbox is available starting with the HTX variant at Rs 12.29 lakh. The interior comes with an option of 5 colour themes and offers a premium feel The car is loaded with a number of safety features. It includes 15 standard safety features. These include 6 airbags, ESP, VSC, Hill-hold assist, ABS, Brake Assist, and more. Level-1 ADAS features add extra safety. They include Front Collision Warning (FCW). They also include Leading vehicle departure alert, Lane Departure Warning, Lane keep assist, and more. The base variant comes with a decent number of safety features and an attractive price tag	The Fronx comes with muscular and sharp design It offers multiple powertrain options: 1.2-litre NA Petrol, CNG, 1.0-litre Turbo Petrol It offers a comfortable ride quality and suspension is well tuned The interior is feature rich with 360-camera, head-up display, 9-inch touchscreen, wireless charging, Arkamys Sound Simple and well arranged cabin with capabilities to sit 5 people The turbo petrol engine is quick and lag free Good fuel efficiency with 1.2-litre petrol and CNG powertrain Maruti's widespread sales and service network ensure a stress-free experience
Cons	No automatic transmission with the 1.2-litre NA petrol engine The lower models lack features. The company only reserves most of the good features for the higher variants. GTX+ & X-Line variants are the only ones that have ADAS. The turbo petrol engine does not offer a complete manual transmission. Instead, it comes with a clutchless manual transmission. This might not appeal to some customers. The dual-tone color option is not available until the HTX+ variant The 10.25-inch infotainment does not support Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The top-of-the-line X-line trim comes with a high price tag specially with diesel engine The 1.2-litre petrol engine is available in three variants only	It somewhat feels like a bigger version of the Baleno specially from sides The turbo petrol engine choices is only available for the higher variants. This makes them slightly more expensive. The quality of interior plastics doesn't quite match up to that of its competitors It provides the smallest boot space in its segment, measuring at 308 liters The rear seat may not be overly comfortable for taller passengers It lacks certain features such as TPMS, rear armrest, auto wipers, and more The 1.0-litre turbo engine is quick. However, it doesn't deliver an enjoyable driving experience. Some competitors like the Sonet, Venue have an advantage by offering diesel engines
