So yeah, the Maruti Suzuki Fronx is finally out and people are curious about the inside, right? Everyone talks about how it looks on the outside but honestly, what matters is how it feels when you’re actually sitting inside. I got to check it out and here’s what I think about the interior — spoiler, it’s mostly good but has some flaws too.
First Impressions: Simple But Modern-ish
When you open the door, you notice the interior is pretty simple. Not too fancy or crazy but looks clean and kinda modern for its price. Maruti Suzuki has kept it practical, like they usually do, but also tried to add some style here and there.
Most of the dashboard is made of plastic. Some of it is hard plastic but there’s some soft-touch stuff on top so it doesn’t feel cheap-cheap. The design is not messy or overloaded with buttons, which is nice because I hate it when cars have so many controls that you don’t know where to look.
Dashboard and Cluster
The instrument cluster is a mix of analog dials and a small digital screen in the middle. Speedometer and tachometer are round and easy to read. The digital part shows you trip info, fuel economy and stuff like that.
It’s not like those full-digital, fancy displays some cars have nowadays but honestly it’s easier to read when you’re driving. Sometimes too much tech is confusing.
The dashboard has these wide air vents that run horizontally and make the cabin feel wider. The infotainment screen sits above the vents, kind of floating there which looks okay.
Infotainment: Okay But Sometimes Slow
The touchscreen is about 8 inches, placed high so you don’t have to look down too much while driving — which is good. It has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which is now standard in almost every new car.
The system works okay but sometimes it’s slow or laggy when you try to switch between menus or open apps. Also, the graphics don’t look very fresh or modern compared to Hyundai or Kia.
Luckily there are physical buttons and knobs below the screen for volume and AC control, which is a lifesaver because touch-only controls can be annoying to use while driving.
Seating: Comfortable But Nothing Fancy
The seats in the lower variants are fabric, higher trims get leatherette. The cushioning is decent, not too soft or hard, comfortable enough for daily driving and highway trips.
Driver’s seat mostly manual adjustments, but top trims get power adjustment and lumbar support — which is nice if you drive long distances.
Rear seats are okay for two adults, squeezing three will be tough. Legroom and headroom are average so taller people might feel a bit cramped. The rear seats recline a bit, which is a good touch.
Space and Storage
Surprisingly, the cabin feels roomy for a compact SUV. The roof is tall enough so you don’t feel like a shrimp inside, and the flat floor in the back helps legroom.
Boot space is average — enough for groceries or a couple medium bags. Seats fold down 60:40 to increase cargo space.
Inside there’s enough storage spaces — cup holders, door pockets, a small glovebox and center console bin. Nothing huge but practical enough.
Lighting and Ambience
Ambient lighting is very subtle in higher variants — mostly white light coming from footwells and door panels. Not fancy or colorful but enough to make the cabin look better at night.
Noise insulation is decent, engine and road noise are not totally gone but not super loud either.
Steering Wheel and Controls
Steering wheel is leather-wrapped on higher trims and has a flat bottom for sporty feel. It’s comfortable and has lots of buttons to control music, calls, cruise control.
Adaptive cruise control is available on higher trims which is good for highway driving. It adjusts speed automatically based on the car ahead which helps reduce fatigue.
AC and Ventilation
AC cools the cabin fast which is important in Indian weather. Lower trims get manual AC, higher trims get automatic climate control with digital display. Rear passengers also get AC vents, which is nice.
Some Small Issues
Not everything is perfect tho. Some plastics on the doors and lower dashboard feel cheap and scratchy. Infotainment can freeze or lag sometimes which is annoying.
Glovebox is small, so don’t expect to keep too much there. Fabric seats attract dust and dirt easily, so you’ll have to vacuum often if you wanna keep it clean.
Final Thoughts
So yeah, the Maruti Suzuki Fronx interior is simple, practical and modern enough for this segment. It’s not plush or loaded with fancy features but it does the job well.
If you want a compact SUV that’s comfy, easy to use and has decent features without burning a hole in your pocket, Fronx is a solid choice.
But if you want luxury materials or the latest flashy tech, you might wanna look somewhere else.
