By ETF Desk
Maruti Suzuki has announced that its new compact SUV, the FRONX, will be available in Manipal at an on‑road price of ₹8.52 lakh from July 2026. The price includes state duties, registration, insurance and a 5‑year, 75,000‑km warranty.
The FRONX, positioned below the Maruti Suzuki Celerio and above the Alto, comes equipped with a 1.2‑litre petrol engine, 7‑speed automatic gearbox, LED headlights, touchscreen infotainment and advanced driver‑assistance features such as lane‑departure warning and automatic emergency braking. It has been marketed as a pocket‑friendly yet tech‑savvy city car that can comfortably seat five.
This pricing strategy is tailored to the budget-conscious consumers of Udupi district, where the demand for entry‑level SUVs is rising. The affordable price point is expected to make the FRONX a competitive choice against rivals like the Hyundai Venue and Kia Seltos, potentially increasing market share for Maruti in the region.
