Maruti Fronx With ADAS Coming Soon?
The Fronx currently comes equipped with a decent number of safety features which include a 360-degree camera, up to 6-airbags, ESP, and other features. Now, in a bid to make the car safer, Maruti seems to be planning to bring ADAS into the lineup. The recently spotted test mule was seen with the ADAS module, but it is not sure if this will be for India or if the brand is testing this feature for the international market. Moreover, the test mule was fitted with front parking sensors.
Maruti has recently started the export of Fronx to Japan and the ADAS model might be under test for the Japanese market. There are a lot of Maruti models that are sold in the international market with different tech and the Fronx with ADAS could be a part of that strategy.
In India, the Fronx comes with a 1.2-litre NA petrol and a 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine. On the features front, it gets a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, automatic climate control, a 360-degree camera, and an LED headlamp, among other features.
Verdict
Maruti is working on new technologies for its cars and the ADAS is among them. The Fronx ADAS variant might be introduced to the Indian market, but for now we can expect it to be tested for the international markets. The brand may be planning to launch the Fronx in additional international markets with upgraded features.
