Maruti Suzuki Fronx with ADAS spied testing in India

This could be an export-spec model as the Fronx sold in Japan is equipped with ADAS.

A Maruti Suzuki Fronx test mule equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) has been spotted in India.

The spy images feature a lightly camouflaged test vehicle. While the front grille looks similar to the standard Fronx, it houses a pair of parking sensors and a trapezoidal radar module in the centre.

Recently, Maruti Suzuki began exporting the Fronx to Japan. As we have reported earlier, the Japanese version does get ADAS. Therefore, it’s highly likely that the test vehicle was an export-spec model.

The Japan-spec Fronx is powered by a 1.5-litre mild-hybrid petrol engine paired with a 5-speed manual and 6-speed automatic gearbox. It also gets Suzuki’s AllGrip Select AWD system, which is not available in India.

That being said, advanced safety systems, including ADAS, are slowly making their way into mainstream cars, and we wouldn’t be surprised if Maruti Suzuki starts offering the same in its compact models.
