Maruti Suzuki has finally revealed the much-awaited fuel efficiency figures of the new compact crossover SUV Fronx. Fronx with the 1.2 litre naturally aspirated petrol engine gets a claimed fuel economy rating of 21.79 km/l with a 5-speed MT & 22.89 km/l with a 5-speed AMT. Whereas, Fronx with the 1 litre Boosterjet turbo petrol engine gets a claimed fuel economy rating of 21.5 km/l with a 5-speed MT & 20.01 km/l with a 6-speed torque converter AT.
To be sold as a NEXA premium product, the new Maruti Fronx will mainly rival the likes of the Tata Punch, Renault Kiger & Nissan Magnite.
