Honda Amaze Vs Maruti Fronx FAQs

The Amaze is priced between ₹8.10 Lakh and ₹11.20 Lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) across six variants: V, VX, and ZX each with Manual (MT) or CVT.

It has a 1.2-litre, 4-cylinder i-VTEC petrol engine (E20 compliant), producing about 90 PS and 110 Nm torque. Mileage as claimed: 1. With 5-speed manual: ≈ 18.65 km / liter. 2. With CVT: ≈ 19.46 km / liter

The Honda Amaze 3rd gen offers a boot capacity of 416 litres. In practical terms this means the car can swallow two medium suitcases and three to four small bags, which makes it suitable for family weekend trips.

Using fuel price = ₹102 / litre: 1. With manual (18.65 kmpl): cost_per_km = 102 ÷ 18.65 ≈ ₹5.47/km. 2. With CVT (19.46 kmpl): cost_per_km = 102 ÷ 19.46 ≈ ₹5.24/km. So CVT is slightly cheaper per km in fuel. Real cost will depend on traffic, AC use etc. If you drive 1,000 km per month in city + highway mix: expect ~₹5,200-₹5,500 in fuel bills (depending on MT or CVT).

1. 6 airbags are standard across all variants. 2. It’s India’s most affordable car to offer Honda SENSING ADAS suite (features like Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, Collision Mitigation Braking System, Road Departure Mitigation etc.). 3. Other features: LaneWatch camera, Hill Start Assist, ESC (Vehicle Stability Assist), ISOFIX child seat mounts.

The Honda Amaze 3rd gen is ideal for families or professionals who want a safe and premium compact sedan that is easy to drive in the city and stable on highways. It suits buyers who value safety technology, low running cost and Honda’s brand reliability. If you are looking for high performance or diesel economy, Honda Amaze 3rd gen may not be the best match.

1. Warranty: Comes with 3 years unlimited kilometres as standard. 2. Service interval: ~ every 10,000-12,000 km or annually is typical for this kind of petrol sedan (check Honda’s schedule). 3. Maintenance cost: Routine servicing (oil, filters etc.) will be moderate. But parts for newer technology (sensors, ADAS) will cost more.

The Honda Amaze 3rd gen competes with Maruti Suzuki Dzire, Hyundai Aura and Tata Tigor in the compact sedan segment.

The Honda Amaze 3rd gen has a ground clearance of 172 mm. This is enough for most Indian city roads and light highway bumps, but you need to be cautious on very tall speed breakers or bad rural patches.

The Honda Amaze 3rd gen is a five-seater sedan. The front seats are supportive and the rear bench comfortably fits two adults and a child. For three large adults at the back, shoulder space can feel tight.

The Honda Amaze 3rd gen comes with 15-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels in higher trims and steel wheels with covers in lower trims. Tyres are sized 175/65 R15, which balances efficiency and ride comfort.

The base Sigma variant of the Fronx starts at about ₹7.51 lakh (ex-showroom), while the top-end Alpha AT Dual Tone variant goes up to roughly ₹13.04 lakh (ex-showroom).

Because the Fronx showed that Maruti could deliver an SUV-style car with strong design, decent tech, and variant options, all while coming at a price tag that didn’t break too many wallets. It crossed milestones fast: 100,000 units in 10 months after launch, over 150,000 in 14 months, then over 200,000 in 17 months. It helped Maruti push its SUV share up in the market and proved buyers liked something that looked premium without being “too premium.”

Fronx comes with two petrol engine types: a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated DualJet engine (~ 89 PS / 113 Nm) and a 1.0-litre Turbo Boosterjet (~ 100 PS / ~148 Nm). The 1.2L is offered with manual and AMT gearboxes; the turbo 1.0L comes with manual and a 6-speed torque converter automatic in top trims. Fuel efficiency for the 1.2L MT is around 21.8 kmpl, the AMT version slightly less. For the turbo AT, efficiency drops a bit (~ 20.0-20.5 kmpl) due to more power and automatic losses.

The Fronx is 3,995 mm long, ~ 1,765 mm wide, ~ 1,550 mm tall, with a wheelbase of 2,520 mm. Minimum turning radius is 4.9 metres. Boot capacity is 308 litres. These dimensions make it compact enough to park in tighter spaces compared to bigger SUVs, yet give enough width, height, and road presence for comfort. Ground clearance is decent (official not always emphasized), which helps over speed breakers and rough roads.

If you live in a Tier-2 or Tier-3 city, want an SUV-like presence, decent boot and interior space, enjoy the style of a sporty crossover, and need multiple propulsion/transmission choices (petrol, CNG, turbo, automatic), but still want lower running and ownership costs, Fronx fits well. If you’re new to cars and want something that looks premium, feels modern, but doesn’t cost SUV-premium, Fronx is a smart middle ground.

The petrol manual Fronx delivers an ARAI-rated mileage of around 21.79 kmpl, while the AMT/automatic goes up to 22.89 kmpl. On CNG, it returns about 28.51 km per kilogram. With petrol at roughly ₹102 a litre, the cost per kilometre works out to ₹4.7 to ₹5 in ideal highway conditions, and higher in city traffic where mileage usually drops to 14–17 kmpl. The CNG trims are cheaper to run, averaging ₹3.2 to ₹3.5 per km depending on local CNG prices.

The Fronx is underpinned by Maruti’s Heartect platform, which is designed to keep weight low, boost fuel efficiency and maintain decent crash protection. This same architecture is shared with Baleno and other Maruti models, but Fronx has additional strengthening to suit its SUV-crossover stance.

6 airbags are standard in Fronx from the base variant only.

The India-spec Fronx has not yet been tested under Bharat NCAP or Global NCAP. However, the Japan-spec export version was crash-tested by JNCAP and scored four stars. That model included some additional safety assists not available in Indian trims, so while the Fronx sold in India is considered reasonably safe for its class, its exact local rating is still awaited.

The Fronx has a crossover SUV design with raised stance, muscular wheel arches, and a grille reminiscent of the Grand Vitara, giving it a more aggressive road presence. The Baleno, on the other hand, is a sleek hatchback with a streamlined silhouette, designed for city roads and aerodynamics. Many buyers joke that the Fronx is like “Baleno on steroids,” thanks to the coupe-style SUV cues.

Fronx uses a slightly stiffer suspension, giving a firm ride especially on rough roads, while Baleno has a softer suspension that absorbs bumps better. This makes Fronx feel more planted but Baleno more comfortable for daily city drives.

Fronx comes with a 1.2L DualJet petrol engine producing ~89 bhp, available with manual or automatic transmission. Baleno uses a similar 1.2L K-Series petrol engine (~88.5 bhp) with manual or AMT options. Fronx turbo variants have slightly higher torque for a more spirited drive.

Baleno edges ahead slightly with 22.35 kmpl ARAI mileage, while the Fronx delivers 21.79 kmpl for petrol manual. Turbo or automatic Fronx variants see slightly lower efficiency due to higher power output.

Choose Fronx if you want an SUV-styled car with higher road presence, slightly stiffer ride, and modern coupe-like design. Opt for Baleno if you prefer a comfortable, efficient hatchback with a slightly larger boot, lower price, and easier city driving.
