Maruti Suzuki’s Compact SUV Hits 5 Lakh Sales in Just 28 Months

Launched in 2023, the Maruti Suzuki Fronx has quickly risen to become one of the best-selling compact SUVs in India. Blending stylish design, modern features, and multiple engine options—including a powerful turbo-petrol unit—the Fronx has not only captured the hearts of Indian buyers but has also made its mark globally as a strong export product for Maruti Suzuki.
