Suzuki’s premium crossover Fronx just received a major tech boost in global markets with the addition of Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Already a popular compact SUV in India under the Maruti Suzuki brand, this upgrade is sparking speculation about when — or if — India will get the ADAS-equipped Fronx.
Let’s break down what’s new, what Level 2 ADAS means, and how it could impact the Indian SUV segment if launched.
🚘 What’s New in the ADAS-equipped Suzuki Fronx?
The international-spec Fronx now includes Level 2 ADAS, which brings semi-autonomous driving capabilities. Here’s what it adds:
🔹 Key Level 2 ADAS Features:
Adaptive Cruise Control (with Stop & Go)
Lane Keep Assist (LKA)
Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
Traffic Sign Recognition
Driver Attention Alert
These features enhance highway safety, reduce driver fatigue, and mark a huge step towards autonomous driving in budget-friendly vehicles.
🇮🇳 Is the Level 2 ADAS Fronx Coming to India?
While Maruti Suzuki hasn’t officially confirmed the ADAS variant for India, multiple signs suggest it’s under active consideration:
Rivals like Hyundai Venue, Honda Elevate, and Kia Sonet now offer Level 2 ADAS in top variants.
Maruti recently introduced ADAS in the Grand Vitara and Invicto.
The Fronx is one of the brand’s fastest-growing models, making it a strong candidate for a tech update.
If launched, the ADAS version would likely be offered in Alpha+ variants or an all-new Zeta+ trim, priced around ₹11.5–12.5 lakh (ex-showroom).
📈 Why This Matters for Indian Buyers
The introduction of ADAS in budget SUVs means safer roads, smarter mobility, and better value for customers. The Fronx already offers:
1.0L BoosterJet & 1.2L K-Series engines
Head-up display, 360° camera, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto
6 airbags in top trims
Strong GNCAP safety potential (yet to be tested with ADAS)
Adding ADAS would make it one of the most advanced sub-compact SUVs in the ₹10–13 lakh segment.
