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).

Maruti Suzuki Fronx (Petrol Variants) New Prices after the GST Cut

Both the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol and the 1.2-litre petrol variants of the Fronx benefit from GST 2.0. Earlier taxed at 29% (28% GST + 1% cess), they now fall under the reduced 18% GST slab. This tax cut makes the turbo-petrol more appealing to performance-focused buyers while ensuring the 1.2-litre petrol remains a wallet-friendly option for everyday use. In both cases, the price cut enhances the Fronx’s reputation as one of the most value-packed crossovers in its segment.
