That's completely based on the pricing actually, the brezza was overpriced and if Suzuki does the same once again Magnite and Kiger would easily sell

Nice observation. There is no point striking about magnite and kiger apart from safety. Renault and Nissan are surely going to fail in India if no new car comes from them within a year.

@Prakharsinha07 Жыл бұрын

If Maruti Suzuki can price it correctly then for Tata Punch it's "Khatam Tata Goodbye Gaya". Better looks,more comfort,better engine,better after sales,better drive quality except good build quality Fronx ticks all the boxes it can even affect the sales of its own sibling Baleno. Clever move by Maruti Suzuki at the right time.

Looks to be an excellent design overall, but pricing is what is going to decide its faith...according to maruti should price it in the range of Kiger/Magnite

@rahulroy8950 Жыл бұрын

Dear autocar, please review the 1.2 NA fronx too. Not everyone wants a turbo petrol. Also please update us on the ride quality of Fronx, especially compared to its sibling Brezza. Is the suspension more stiff than brezza? Are uneven roads & potholes more felt inside the cabin?

Would look great in black or maybe in dual tone with white.

Had they named it Frontier instead of Fronx, meaning behind the car name would have been preserved and the name would have been much more classy. Fronx feels too casual to me.

@sergiusbarretto Жыл бұрын

Thank you and as for the refinement of the two engines, we will be doing a back to back hopefully soon, but if you're worried about the boosterjet because its a 3 cylinder you shouldn't be. It's refined and also does not have that typical 3 cylinder loud thrum at idle.

High time Magnite kiger upgrade their niggles and provide features like sunroof to break through upcoming punch and fronx. Else their sales would surely decline.
