Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Maruti Suzuki FRONX
- Attractive styling: Looks muscular, but also sporty with its sloping roofline.
- Spacious and practical cabin: Good storage spaces and space for four adults.
- Multiple powertrains: Offer a choice between smooth and exciting petrol engines.
- Covers the basics: Keyless entry, climate control, steering mounted controls, and cruise control.
- Plush ride: Good comfort over regular, bad or even rough roads.
- 190mm ground clearance boosts confidence in new drivers.
- Easy to drive in the city and stable at high speeds.
Hyundai Exter
- Design: Subtle updates like the new grille, alloys and wing-type spoiler keep the Exter looking fresh without losing its distinct identity
- Cabin: New dual-tone Navy & Grey theme, metal pedals and improved materials make the interior feel more premium and youthful
- Strong package with 6 airbags as standard, ESC, HAC and over 45 safety features for added peace of mind
- Spacious cabin, 391-litre boot and smart dual-cylinder CNG layout that retains usable luggage space
- Refinement: The only 4-cylinder engine in the segment delivers smoother and more refined performance than rivals

Maruti Suzuki FRONX
- Rear seat headroom: Sloping roofline limits space for tall passengers.
- No diesel engine option — available with Venue, Nexon and Sonet.
- Misses out on a few feel-good features: sunroof, leatherette upholstery, ventilated seats.
Hyundai Exter
- Performance: Engine is smooth but not exciting, no option of a turbo-petrol
