    They have really grown on me, and how! It's very refreshing to see the no-nonsense and factual approach he has, in his reviews. Proper profesionalism!

      That's completely based on the pricing actually, the brezza was overpriced and if Suzuki does the same once again Magnite and Kiger would easily sell

    • @16green
      @16green Рік тому +20

      Nice observation. There is no point striking about magnite and kiger apart from safety. Renault and Nissan are surely going to fail in India if no new car comes from them within a year.

    If Maruti Suzuki can price it correctly then for Tata Punch it's "Khatam Tata Goodbye Gaya". Better looks,more comfort,better engine,better after sales,better drive quality except good build quality Fronx ticks all the boxes it can even affect the sales of its own sibling Baleno. Clever move by Maruti Suzuki at the right time.

    Dear autocar, please review the 1.2 NA fronx too. Not everyone wants a turbo petrol.
    Also please update us on the ride quality of Fronx, especially compared to its sibling Brezza.
    Is the suspension more stiff than brezza? Are uneven roads & potholes more felt inside the cabin?

  • @MegaWazir
    @MegaWazir Рік тому +14

    Had they named it Frontier instead of Fronx, meaning behind the car name would have been preserved and the name would have been much more classy. Fronx feels too casual to me.

    Top review by Sergius and very good product by Maruti.
    I'm just curious whether the 1.2 being a 4 cylinder is more refined than the 3 cylinder boosterjet. Can anyone respond on that ?

    • @sergiusbarretto
      @sergiusbarretto Рік тому +5

      Thank you and as for the refinement of the two engines, we will be doing a back to back hopefully soon, but if you're worried about the boosterjet because its a 3 cylinder you shouldn't be. It's refined and also does not have that typical 3 cylinder loud thrum at idle.

  • @taranshupattnaiktp3335
    @taranshupattnaiktp3335 Рік тому +5

    Couple of things didn't liked about the Fronx
    1. The name is very unusual
    2. Boosterjet engine only kicks out 100hp
    3. High loading lip for the boot
    4. Soft seats
    5. No CVT for 1.2 petrol
    Also what is left is the crash test rating. It has to get it done by Global NCAP.

    • @akshatmathur991
      @akshatmathur991 Рік тому +3

      They tuned it till 100hp as brezza and grand vitara 4×4 has 1.5 ltr na of 105 hp so they can't betray them.
