News & Top StoriesIntroduced in April 2023, the Maruti Fronx is a subcompact crossover vehicle that is built on the Maruti Baleno platform. While optional accessories have been offered since the Fronx’s inception, Maruti has just unveiled the Velocity edition, which is only compatible with the Delta Plus model of the Fronx and costs Rs 34,000 more due to cosmetic changes. Let’s examine this limited-edition kit’s appearance in seven actual photos.
The chrome garnish on the headlight units is the sole visible difference between the Velocity edition and the previous model. Apart from this, the Fronx Delta Plus version bears no resemblance to its standard version. Maruti started selling LED headlights with LED DRLs on the Fronx, which is the base model from which the Delta Plus is derived.
The Velocity version of the Fronx comes with side extras like door visors, side molding, and ORVM chrome garnish. This trim level, Delta Plus, includes 16-inch alloy wheels that have been blacked out. Along with the Fronx, the Velocity edition accessory kit includes illuminated door sill guards.
The sole modification to the rear is the addition of a chrome tailgate garnish. As a Delta Plus version, it has LED taillights at the back instead of the center-mounted kind that is available starting with the Zeta model. Additionally, it has a silver skid plate that is integrated into the rear bumper and improves the car’s overall look.
Mud flaps are another official accessory that comes with the Velocity edition.
Interior
The carbon styling kit that comes with the Velocity edition package of the Fronx can be used to further improve the dual-tone dashboard look of the Delta Plus variation of the automobile. This item includes a carbon finish on the power window trim of the door as well as around the AC vents.
Its features include an electrically adjustable ORVM system, automatic air conditioning, a 6-speaker sound system, a 7-inch touchscreen system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and more. Dual front airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), rear parking sensors, ABS with EBD, and a day/night IRVM (internal rearview mirror) all contribute to safety. Although the Velocity version of the Fronx comes with a rear parking sensor as an extra, the Delta Plus model of the car does not.
The Velocity edition of the Fronx leatherette black seat cover is also available from Maruti. The limited version also comes with a car vacuum, Nexa-branded seat cushions, and all-weather 3D floor mats and boot maps.
Engines Available
The Fronx Delta Plus model is available with a 1.2-liter normally aspirated gasoline engine (90 PS/113 Nm) or a 1-liter turbo-petrol engine (100 PS/148 Nm). A 5-speed manual transmission is standard on both engines. About the automatic, the former has a 5-speed AMT standard, while the latter has the choice of a 6-speed AMT.
Price & Rivals
The Maruti Fronx Delta Pus variant costs between Rs 8.78 lakh and Rs 9.73 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). It competes with vehicles such as the Hyundai Exter, Citroen C3, Nissan Magnite, and Renault Kiger.
