Maruti Fronx to Get ADAS
In an exclusive bit of news, we recently reported that the Fronx is set to receive Advanced Driving Assistance System (ADAS) in the near future. Positioned below the mid-sized Grand Vitara, the Fronx, stemming from the successful Baleno premium hatchback, carves its niche in the lineup. Positioned between the Baleno and Brezza in terms of pricing, the Fronx distinguishes itself with a unique crossover SUV design. This helps it attract a diverse audience. The introduction of ADAS features will likely elevate its appeal even more. With the addition of ADAS, it will be a more enticing proposition. People are becoming more safety conscious while making purchase decisions these days. Knowing that a car has ADAS will certainly attract an even wider range of buyers.

What We Think
The Maruti Fronx stands out as a cost-effective option, combining a SUV-like appearance with the attributes of the Baleno. It has successfully appealed to a consumer base that might typically consider hatchbacks. Interestingly, the Fronx, built on the Baleno hatchback platform, has been more successful than the Baleno so far. Even though it comes with a silhouette reminiscent of the Baleno and the styling and stance of the Grand Vitara SUV, the Fronx carves out an identity of its own. Plus, we believe that the upcoming ADAS features will help it further boost its popularity.
