The Maruti Suzuki Fronx has quickly become one of the most popular compact crossovers in India. With bold SUV-inspired styling, modern features, and the option of multiple powertrains, the Fronx caters to a wide audience — from first-time SUV buyers to young families and commuters seeking a stylish yet affordable option. Offered with a 1.2-litre petrol engine, a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine for enthusiasts, and a CNG variant for economy-focused buyers, the Fronx delivers versatility unmatched in its class.
Under the old GST system, however, the Fronx was taxed at 28% GST plus 1% cess, totalling 29%. This inflated its ex-showroom price, making higher trims less affordable in a price-sensitive market.
With the rollout of GST 2.0, effective September 22, 2025, the cess has been scrapped and replaced with a flat 18% GST rate for small petrol and CNG cars under 4 metres. This has led to an 11% reduction in tax, leading to a price drop by ₹64,000–₹1.11 lakhs depending on the variant. For the Fronx, this makes it an even stronger competitor to rivals like the Hyundai Venue, Tata Nexon, and Kia Sonet (sub-4m petrol trims).
