Maruti Suzuki Fronx JNCAP Crash Test Results

In its latest crash tests, JNCAP gave the made-in-India Fronx a strong 84 percent score. The Fronx achieved 163.75 points out of a possible 193.8 points. In specific assessments, the Fronx scored:

79.42 out of 85.8 points in preventive safety performance
76.33 out of 100 points in collision safety performance
21.08 out of 24 points in the offset frontal collision test
Level 5/5 in the full-wrap frontal collision test, side collision test, and pedestrian leg protection performance test

While the Fronx performed well in many areas, it did not achieve a 5-star rating due to lower scores in certain tests. These included rear-seat frontal crash protection, pedestrian head protection, and AEB performance, particularly in JNCAP's tests of Junction AEB. The Fronx was marked down for not having pretensioners for the rear seatbelts.

2025 Fronx JNCAP Safety Rating Not Applicable For India

It is important to note that the JNCAP crash test results and overall scores are not valid for the Indian market. The Suzuki Fronx exported to Japan gets a more comprehensive suite of safety features compared to the model sold in India. It gets additional features such as autonomous emergency braking (AEB) and a lane departure prevention system.

In India, the Maruti Suzuki Fronx is available with a starting price of Rs 7.55 lakh , going up to Rs 12.91 lakh (ex-showroom). It is offered with 3 engine options – a 1.2L normal petrol, 1.2L CNG and a 1.0L turbo petrol. Transmission choices include a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed AMT for the normal petrol engine, a 5-speed manual for the CNG variants, and a 5-speed manual and 6-speed torque converter (TC) automatic for the turbo petrol engine.
