Every small car is trying to prove that it's an SUV. By saying that, Fronx will have a good time in the Indian market for sure. Hope Mahindra will update XUV 300 soon!
Autocar videos still look like they are from 2010s lol. It feels like they lack a genuine appreciation and love for cars and do what they do only because of the salary and their jobs. Absolutely no enthusiasm at all
When Sirish says "Torsional Rigidity" you better listen. Can't wait for the GNCAP safety ratings though 😉 Just wanted to put it out there and hopefully create a stir 😎
Fronx turbo manual is a pocket rocket 🚀 seriously wheel spinning on 2-3-4 gears. Booster jet engine comes with honeycomb turbo and even weighs more than 1.2na engine model but peppy and offering smart hybrid as well.
@Sirish Chandran but there was a time , this so called Cross Over segment came, but all denied as the price was slightly above, the same condition is about to happen, between normal Baleno and Brezza.... people will rethink as the Budget is getting a tight competition so as the Barath Standards... lets see the price and the way people take If this car clicks, then the older cross over people will get an extra advantage in the used car market
NOTE TO THE EDITOR: The music is too loud and is making it hard to understand the presenter. Music should be in the background and not try to grab attention.
Drove this car.. Braking seriously needs to be improved.. drum brakes at the rear makes the car wobble during sudden braking at speeds 140+.. Hope suzuki improves the braking
I usually dislike Maruti cars for the obvious reasons. But this car is absolutely beautiful. I just hope it gets 4 stars in GNCAP. It's very unlikely but if it does, it'll eat the market.
Still as initial Baleno we have the Steering issues.... No Auto Return, every dealer say it's a feature but it's bug, for a shorter turn radius it's very difficult to pull back like a manual steering too hard....
We shall see what we can do about that Atish. More often than not, manufacturers do not have all colours and variants in the media fleet, which makes it difficult review them.
@@pranavvalvaikar2170 Tata Altroz weighs about 1030 kgs only, does that mean it’s not safe? Weight of the car is not proportional to how safe it is. It is 2023 and a cars does not necessarily have to be heavy like an ambassador

India should be getting Ford Bronx, tf is Fronx. Really creative Maruti. Bringing in the discontinued features with new tagline. Fravo.... i mean bravo
@@evoIndia yes ur right, a 4WD 6AT variant of the Fronx will cost lot more than the anticipated price bracket . . . maybe SUZUKI could do a limited production run for the Fronx 4WD (6AT), since we all know that a Fronx 4WD (6AT) variant won't sell as much as Fronx 2WD (6AT) model range . . . speaking of SUZUKI CUVs the Grand Vitara 4WD variant could seriously do with a 6-speed auto instead of the manual 5-speed . . .
Just wondering where u guys get all these wonderful roads to drive... ... Here where we live there are only high road taxes, tolls for pot ridden roads😂
my 23 years old fiat uno does the same off roading even better than this but that dosent mean to declare it a suv. even try it with an alto and can be seen same off-roading capabilities. Jacked up a hatchback and declare it as suv or a crossover can be a marketing gimmick to fool people but actually its a crow with a peacock's feathers.
Guys at suzuki was like this one day....... You know what guys we are gonna built a crossover, and it is going to steal the sales from The baleno, heck yeah 😅
No this 1 litre is a turbo charged engine. Power & Pickup are much stronger than the ones you mentioned, those cars have a Naturally aspirated engine, which will give you higher Fuel Economy but less power, so more gear shifts and slower acceleration
It's so surprising that the same auto journalists who called the 1.2L K-series engine the best naturally aspirated engine for enthusiasts a few years back are now calling it underpowered and lacks performance. What an irony!!!
You have to consider the application of that engine. It's fun, don't get us wrong, but in a light hatchback. It feels underpowered in a heavy SUV. Especially when you compare it against the 1.0-litre boosterjet.
@@evoIndia Or could it be that you are so used to driving a lot of turbo petrols these days and a good old naturally aspirated engine feels underpowered now? I remember that the first generation Swift and Ritz weren't light hatchbacks and were as heavy as Fronx. Nobody said those cars were underpowered with their 85bhp K-Series engine back then. Also that engine got a lot of praise for its performance. Maybe it's not the engine that is underpowered. I think it's our expectations as time changes. Especially after these downsized turbo petrols came into existence.
@Anoop Prasad emission reduction technologies might also have sapped out a lot of the power available from these drivetrains. Additionally, as you mentioned, our expectations have also probably increased from those times when we mostly had underpowered smaller cars due to most of us being unable to afford the higher running costs.
@@sirishch yes. But we have also seen international spec models of S cross all grip and ignis all grip. I don't know why people can't accept that here in India.
This is would the engine which will see the lowest number on sales. Test the naturally aspirated ones these are are engine which sees major chunk of sales. Let alone the engine this would again be a car low on safety ratings.😥
I am expecting some haters here spitting about safety shit 😂😂. Come on ...people ..come on . Don't let this another tin can maruthi to sell like hot cakes ...😂😂😂😂
Booster jet engine and Mild Hybrid . *** Why can't Tatas create such Booster jet engines ?? Don't they have such tech or appetite?? Mild hybrid makes City driving so 3asy because of small e motor. Its little more costly but worth it . ___ may be that's why the scared Tatas is upgrading Power to 125 hp and 220 nm because ,they know their AMT has a short lag when switching gears .. So morr Torque will compensate this ... They are adding 3jat they can and can't compete on hybrid tech that Japanese bring
What do you think of the name Fronx? Comment below.
It's a nice name. I like it.
Need a crash test
Tata Harrier Lite😂
Stunner would be a apt name to it.. Fronx i hate bro
Yeah too lite version

Such a better video than Autocar India
Autocar ka review sabse tatti lgta hai
Autocar is too professional. Evo India is about driving experience whereas Autocar India is for no nonsense Indian car buyer.

Did they fire you?
@@shahan484 as a car enthusiast I prefer the Evo more than Autocar. Autocar looks like a soulless robot following a script
The best presentation of the Fronx , really liked it... keep it up Evo India Team and Sirish Sir!❤
Oh wow! Thank you so much BlackBirdRider! We hope you gave it a Like and Share too! Would mean a lot to us. Cheers.
@@evoIndia yes its done! 😉
Thanks man
Just to say
U have done little mistake in fronx weight..
The 1.2 l weighs 965-980 kgs...
And the 1litre boosterjet weighs 1015 1060 kgs
When Sirish says "Torsional Rigidity" you better listen. Can't wait for the GNCAP safety ratings though 😉 Just wanted to put it out there and hopefully create a stir 😎
True, can’t wait for the NCAP ratings
Dont worry guys, tata will send this car and get it tested. Hope gncap is not owned by tata group. 😂😂
Wow that was you in Goa . Had seen this Car with HR TC cruising on my way to Panjim .
Fronx turbo manual is a pocket rocket 🚀 seriously wheel spinning on 2-3-4 gears. Booster jet engine comes with honeycomb turbo and even weighs more than 1.2na engine model but peppy and offering smart hybrid as well.
Fronx is going to sell like Hot Cakes
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Another winner from Maruti.
Now let's hope MS price it well!
Looks like it
Love your review video. Concise and informative.
I have a i20 ACTIVE SX FULL OPTION... Years back, Polo Cross, Punto Aventura , Figo Freestyle... what a old but late entry segment
Better late than never
@Sirish Chandran but there was a time , this so called Cross Over segment came, but all denied as the price was slightly above, the same condition is about to happen, between normal Baleno and Brezza.... people will rethink as the Budget is getting a tight competition so as the Barath Standards... lets see the price and the way people take
If this car clicks, then the older cross over people will get an extra advantage in the used car market
Difference is mileage .
They were costly for their size .
Special about maruti is its mileage always and everything else is bonus
Fronx will be Best Selling car from Suzuki
Quite possible
Love you Sirish❤️you are the best automobile reviewer in India to me💐
Thank you!
The 1.2 ltr engine from Suzuki delivers all the power we need after running 10,000 km .. then it becomes like tell me what to do now..
Engine getting better over the years.
Doesn't make sense ,
I have Swift
Ran 40k km
Still has all the power
@@soorajj9207
You get used to the power and then need more
I agree, 1 litre engine is not peppy even though it has turbo
Nice review by sirish my brother already booked this one month ago we are eagerly waited for the reviews
✌️
Ultimate video.
Very energetic detailing with all the details the buyer wants.
Superb presentation.thanks
Thank you Deepu! Do consider giving the video a Like and a Share!

I think that it may replace the old Ignis within some months
Though time will say that Fronx sounds as a good product
We hope they price it well!
Will sit higher than Ignis in lineup
@@sirishch 👍👍
RS is back, smiles are back!!!
That Boosterjet always leaves us with a big wide grin!
😁✌️
I have booked Baleno. Now confused between Baleno and Fronx 1.2 Dual Jet Engine. Which one should I buy? Please suggest.
Fronx is newer, fresher styling and a bit more ground clearance. But honestly it’s just which styling you prefer

Why nobody is talking about the build quality of the Suzuki cars in India
Because they build better cars than poTATA with their gimmicky stars from gncap😂
Because they give one of the best & reliable engines out there
On budget

Fantastic review!!
Why maruti gave blue colour car for road review rather than red one 🤗 which looks ravishing.

Better vedio than anyone else

Need the boosterjet back in the Baleno/Glanza.
Oh that would be so much fun!
Now that it is localised I’m sure it will come
This boosterjet engine will be available in swift
Booster jet engine with manual transmission is 🚀
How is the AMT version of Fronx....what is the city mileage. Thanks.
What’s the NCAP SAFETY RATING?
Fuel economy of 9kmpl in Automatic variant will be depressing
It's 20.9kmpl in the automatic V J.
We hope its tested soon at NCAP.
No NCAP ratings yet
@@evoIndia
Baleno RS 1.0 automatic gives a below average real world fuel economy of 13-15kmpl on road
very poor from Maruti Standards
Fronx Manual turbo giving 15kmpl with ac in city

Is Fronx Zeta worth buying? @evoIndia now that the prices are revealed
India should be getting Ford Bronx, tf is Fronx. Really creative Maruti. Bringing in the discontinued features with new tagline. Fravo.... i mean bravo
This vehicle’s silly name won’t die. As nametag on back reads Fronx, would you call it Baxx from the front? 4:17
If what you say is true, how long till we see this engine swapped into an old Zen?
Somebody somewhere out there might just be planning it as we speak.
Old Zen 🤗
there should have been a AllGRIP® 4WD variant with a 6-speed auto or 8-speed DSG auto . . .
That would increase the price quite considerably. Might not be suitable for the segment Maruti Suzuki is targeting.

Why can it not? I have grown up seeing maruti 800, 1000, esteem and the old baleno on the race tracks in coorg, chickmagalur and Hassan

Most buyers will….
it should've had a panoramic sunroof, it's a standard on most of the cars on their top models

So basically the review summarised is : The Fronx is enthusiastic
Amen to that.
its just a daily driver... which is good for city usage! its just a FWD car...
Wait, does it compete directly with the likes of Kushaq/Venue NLine/Kiger/Magnite? If yes, I'll park this rent free in my head 😂
Not kushaq..But kiger,magnite and probably Venue..But Brezza is more a venue competitor in Maruti lineup I guess..
Not kushaq and venue
Yup Venue N-Line types…
Yes it will perform better than kiger and magnite not sure about n line and kushaq...
It competes with kiger/magnite but not kushaq and venue ,as brezza and GV competed with them
Fronx outperforms kiger/magnite but not in safety .
SUVs are for those who can’t drift a sedan and never loved what a sedan could do.
Its lite ,its agile, its made of pappad 😂😂😂
Anyone saw the pulsar offroading?😀
This is would the engine which will see the lowest number on sales.
