Maruti Suzuki Fronx gets 6 airbags as standard

Maruti Suzuki Fronx gets 6 airbags as standard

Hindustan Times2 days ago
Maruti Suzuki has rolled out a safety update for the Fronx , now offering six airbags as a standard feature across all variants. This update, which came into effect on July 25, has resulted in a marginal price hike of around 0.5 per cent (ex-showroom). With this move, the Fronx joins the XL6 , Baleno, and Ertiga—models that recently received the same safety enhancement.
Back in April, Maruti had shared its plan to equip all its cars with six airbags as a standard safety measure. While models like the Fronx have already received the update, others like the S-Presso and Ignis are still awaiting the upgrade. Going by the rollout pattern, it's likely that the Urban Cruiser Taisor and the Rumion MPV will be next in line to get the added safety gear.

Maruti, which produces popular models such as the Swift and Dzire, said the domestic passenger vehicle industry continued to face sluggish demand in the first quarter. Domestic sales fell 4.5 per cent, but this was offset by strong export growth of 37.4 per cent, leading to an overall sales volume increase of 1.1 per cent compared to the previous year. 'For the company, a decline in domestic sales of 4.5 per cent was compensated by a robust 37.4 per cent growth in exports, resulting in an overall sales volume increase of 1.1 per cent for the quarter, year-on-year," it stated. In total, the company sold 527,861 vehicles during the quarter, including 430,889 units in the domestic market and 96,972 units for export. The company credited its export performance for cushioning the impact of softer domestic demand -- helping it maintain steady profitability despite industry headwinds.
