Verdict
The Maruti Fronx competes with the Nissan Magnite, Kia Sonet, Hyundai Venue, and Tata Nexon. Barring the Nexon and Venue, all other rivals are way behind in terms of sales, and that is due to the Maruti Suzuki brand value and competitive pricing. Plus, there is a desirability factor that is significantly higher for the Fronx. Its suave design attracts almost everyone, and the choice of CNG opens another gate for customers. Theres no reason it shouldnt cross the 2 lakh milestone.
