Maruti Fronx Vs Brezza

Well Fronx biggest advantage over Brezza is going to be price point. With Smaller 1.2 Litre Petrol Engine and 1 Litre Boosterjet - GST and Tax rates will apply at 29% as against 45% as applied in Brezza. So it would be like 

• Fronx Delta 1.2, will be available at near similar price as Brezza Lxi
• Fronx Zeta 1.0 in close range of Brezza Vxi
• Fronx Alpha 1.0 in close range of Brezza Zxi

So more features in lesser price will be USP of Maruti Fronx. Also the second USP would be of space front. As what seen in Auto Expo 2023 - Fronx Rear Seat Legroom space is better felt as against Brezza with better recline rear seat comfort.

Finally there is no denying to the fact that Boosterjet Petrol Engine has Turbo charger to it - which can actually add slight more excitement to fun driving aspect making Fronx a more fun character to it.

• Proper Compact SUV to its core and for all reasons Suspension of Brezza on bad roads remains key strength. Has more wider R16 215 Tyres as against R16 195 Tyres in Fronx
• Feels more Stylish and upmarket in both Interiors, Exteriors
• Has Sunroof as Charm Element which can differentiate in need for Car Buyers who seek lifestyle feature. Also some more features including Wireless Charging
