In a surprising report, a Made-in-India Maruti Fronx arrives on the shores of North America. Now, we know that Maruti Suzuki exports cars from India to over 100 countries across South Africa, Australia, the Middle East, Latin America and more. However, it doesn’t send the cars all the way to the US. That is what makes this case intriguing. Let us glance at the details of this occurrence.

As per the details on this report, someone drove this made-in-India Fronx from Tijuana in Mexico to Los Angeles in the USA. The total distance between the two cities is just around 250 km. Note that Maruti Suzuki exports Indian cars to Mexico. Hence, this Fronx bears the Mexican registration plate. Still, it was being driven in the streets of Los Angeles. Apart from visiting the local touristic and prominent places and locations, the owner also took it out on a highway for a brief drive. All in all, the charm of an Indian-made Maruti Fronx on American roads is simply exhilarating.

Specs
Now while the Indian model is offered with two engine options – a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol and a 1.0-litre turbo petrol, this Mexican version carries the larger 1.5-litre mild hybrid petrol mill which powers the Brezza and Grand Vitara in India. It generates a decent 103 hp and 137 Nm of peak power and torque. The transmission duties are carried by either a 5-speed manual or an automatic gearbox. We are not sure about which trim this is. In India, it retails from Rs 7.51 lakh and Rs 13.04 lakh, ex-showroom.

To see a vehicle which we watch every day in India, being driven on the American roads is quite exciting. This informs that it is possible to do this using the Indian cars which get exported to Mexico.
