[8][9] Presented in January 2023 at the Auto Expo in India, the Fronx for the Indian market is exclusively available at the Nexa dealership chain reserved for high-end Maruti Suzuki models.

[10] According to a development manager of the Fronx, the vehicle was conceived from the idea to create an SUV that is widely accepted by the market while using existing resources, which is the Baleno platform.

[11] Compared to the Baleno, the bonnet has been heightened, the body panels reshaped, and the rear pillars are tilted forward.

Planned export markets include the Middle East, Latin America, Africa, Australia and Japan.

The Fronx was launched in South Africa on 15 August 2023, with two trim levels: GL and GLX; it is powered by the 1.5-litre K15B petrol engine paired to either a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic.

[21] The Fronx is powered by a 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder K10C Boosterjet turbocharged petrol engine rated at 73.6 kW (99 hp; 100 PS), with a 48V mild hybrid system.
