The Maruti Fronx is one of those cars that quietly sells in huge numbers every month. It is not a big rugged SUV. It is not a plain hatchback either. It sits nicely in the middle — SUV-ish looks, hatchback ease, Maruti mileage. That mix is exactly why so many Indian families pick it.
Now, the big question. What does it actually cost on-road, and which version should you buy — petrol, CNG or turbo? Let us go through it in plain words.
Maruti Fronx on-road price (2026)
The Fronx starts at ₹6.85 lakh ex-showroom for the base Sigma. On-road in Delhi, that becomes about ₹7.7 lakh once you add RTO and insurance. The top Alpha turbo goes up to around ₹12 lakh ex-showroom, so roughly ₹13–13.5 lakh on-road.

Ex-showroom Delhi, changes by variant and city.
Fronx CNG: best for daily running
If your main goal is saving fuel money, the Fronx CNG is the one to look at. It gives a claimed 28.51 km/kg — one of the best CNG figures in this class. Owners regularly report 26–30 km/kg in real driving, which is excellent.
The Fronx CNG on-road price starts around ₹8.83 lakh in Delhi for the Sigma CNG. One thing to note — CNG is offered only in the Sigma and Delta variants, not the higher ones. So if you want CNG with top features, that option is not there yet. The CNG runs only on a manual gearbox, and boot space drops because the cylinder sits in the boot. For a daily city car, though, the savings are worth it.

SUVTurbo vs normal petrol
The normal 1.2L petrol (88hp) is smooth and easy. Perfect for city and light highway use, available in manual and AMT automatic. Claimed mileage is 20–23 km/l; real-world is around 14–18 km/l in the city.
The 1.0L Boosterjet turbo (99 hp) is the fun one. It makes the Fronx the quickest car under ₹10 lakh in turbo-manual form. It also gets mild-hybrid tech to help save a little fuel. One honest point — this turbo feels a bit slow below 2,500 rpm, so you have to rev it a little in the city. Above that, it pulls nicely. It comes with a manual or a proper torque converter automatic.
Real mileage and one safety point
Real-world Fronx mileage looks like this: petrol around 14–18 km/l in the city and 19–22 km/l on highways; CNG a genuine 26–30 km/kg. Not many cars give you this kind of fuel saving with SUV-style looks.
Now one honest safety point you should know. As of 2026, the India-spec Fronx does not have a published Bharat NCAP crash rating. It does come with six airbags as standard, ESP, hill-hold and ISOFIX child-seat mounts, so the safety kit is there. But if a 5-star crash score is your top priority, the Tata Nexon or Mahindra XUV 3XO has tested ratings that the Fronx currently does not. Check the official Bharat NCAP site before you book.
Interior and which variant to buy.
The Fronx cabin feels a step above a normal hatchback. You get a flat-bottom steering wheel, a dual-tone dashboard, a good 9-inch touchscreen on higher variants, wireless charging, and a 360° camera and head-up display on the top Alpha. Ground clearance is 190mm, so speed breakers and broken roads are not a worry. Rear headroom is a little tight for very tall passengers — worth checking on a test drive.
So which one to pick? For most buyers, the Delta+ 1.2 petrol manual (around ₹8.10 lakh ex-showroom) is the value king. You get the LED DRLs, alloy wheels, touchscreen with CarPlay and auto climate — the daily-use stuff — without paying nearly ₹2.5 lakh more for the turbo and top-end extras.
Choose the CNG (Sigma or Delta) if you have high daily running and want the lowest fuel cost. Choose the turbo (Zeta or Alpha) only if you enjoy quick driving and don't mind the higher price. There are usually a couple of dealer offers running each month, so ask about the current July discount before you finalise.
