7 Exciting Electric Cars Set to Electrify India’s Roads by 2025-26
Explore the future of mobility with these 7 electric cars launching in India by 2025-26, promising cutting-edge tech and impressive ranges.
Maruti Suzuki is doubling down on safety, and the Fronx is the latest to get a significant upgrade. This stylish coupe-style SUV, already a favorite for its sleek design, now comes with 6 airbags as standard across all variants. This move is part of Maruti’s broader push to equip its entire lineup with enhanced safety features, ensuring peace of mind for drivers and passengers alike.
Previously, the Fronx offered only dual front airbags, effective mainly for frontal collisions. The addition of side and curtain airbags makes it far better equipped to handle a range of crash scenarios, including side impacts. This upgrade aligns with Maruti’s goal to standardize 6 airbags across its portfolio by year-end, following recent updates to models like the XL6.

Alongside the safety boost, Maruti has introduced a small price increase of up to 0.5% to offset the costs of these new features. The hike is modest, keeping the Fronx competitive in the crowded SUV market. For buyers, the added safety makes this a worthwhile trade-off.
The Fronx’s appeal isn’t limited to India. It’s making waves globally, becoming Maruti’s fastest vehicle to hit 1 lakh exports. In international markets, it boasts advanced features like ADAS and a robust 1.5L petrol engine, catering to diverse driving needs.
