Maruti Fronx: ARAI Claimed Mileage
The Maruti Fronx is available in two petrol engine options- a 1.2-litre K12N Dual Jet petrol engine and a 1.0-litre Booster Jet engine. Both powerhouses come with automatic and manual transmission options. Here is the claimed ARAI-certified mileage of the Maruti Fronx.
| Powertrain | Mileage |
| 1.2-litre Petrol Manual | 21.79 kmpl |
| 1.2-litre Petrol Automatic | 22.89 kmpl |
| 1.0-litre Booster Jet Petrol MT | 21.5 kmpl |
| 1.0-litre Booster Jet AT | 25.89 kmpl |
| CNG | 28.51 kmpl |
The above-mentioned mileage figure may seem impressive, but remember the ARAI mileage tests are conducted in controlled environments. Extracting the fuel efficiency equivalent to the ARAI figures is difficult in real-world situations.
Factors that influence real-world Mileage:
| Driving Pattern |
| Traffic conditions |
| Vehicle load |
| Air conditioning usage |
| Road conditions |
Maruti Fronx: Real-World Mileage
We have already covered a video on the fuel efficiency of the Maruti Fronx 1.0 litre manual after driving it for more than 200 km on our YT handle. In our test, the Fronx returned an average fuel economy of 21.1 kmpl. In contrast, we have not tested the Maruti Fronx with a 1.2-litre petrol variant, it is said to provide an average mileage of 20 kmpl on highways.
Real-world figures are surprising, right? It's because real-world situations are different from those in ARAI test runs. The Fronx with 1.0-litre BoosterJet paired with manual transmission emerges as the best power and fuel efficiency combination with an average fuel efficiency of 21.1 kmpl.

Verdict
The Maruti Suzuki Fronx impresses with claimed ARAI-certified mileage figures, yet real-world efficiency often falls short due to varied driving conditions and usage patterns. Actual tests reveal discrepancies, with the 1.0-litre manual variant achieving 21.1 kmpl, highlighting practical differences from standardized tests. Prospective buyers should consider these factors for a realistic expectation of fuel economy.
