SAFETY RATING
As of now, the Maruti Suzuki Fronx has not been officially tested by Global NCAP or any other major crash test agency, so it does not have an official safety rating yet. However, based on the platform it shares with the Maruti Suzuki Baleno, which has a 3-star Global NCAP safety rating, expectations are that the Fronx should offer a similar level of protection, although this is not confirmed.
Though the Fronx comes equipped with modern safety features, the actual safety performance will depend on future crash test results. If safety ratings are a top priority for you, it’s worth keeping an eye out for any forthcoming test results.
