The Maruti Fronx EV is set to bring an electric charge to Maruti Suzuki’s popular crossover lineup, blending bold design, everyday practicality, and zero-emission performance. Expected to debut in March 2027, this compact EV will mark Maruti’s second major electric vehicle after the e-Vitara (launching March 2025).

Focussing on the value for money urban buying, Mahindra is looking to try and revolutionise the low-cost electric crossover space with the Fronx EV – a rival to offerings like Tata Punch EV, MG Comet EV and Citroen eC3. Priced at around ₹12 lakh (ex-showroom) the car will maintain sub-4m size similar to that of the petrol Fronx but brings in EV specific design as well technology updates.

Maruti Fronx EV Design and Features: Coupe-SUV Styling Meets Smart EV Tech

Maintaining its coupe-like silhouette, the Maruti Fronx EV is designed as signature with muscle claddings, LED tri-arrow DRLs and massive 18-inch alloy wheels. But this time it gets some aero-effective tucks, such as closed grille, aerodynamic bumpers and EV-tuned rubber for extra range.

And inside the cabin there is a real modern and premium feeling. Highlights include:

  • 9-inch touchscreen infotainment with wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay
  • Digital driver’s display & head-up display
  • 360-degree camera and ventilated front seats
  • Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality to power external devices
  • Heat pump for enhanced efficiency in variable climates

Safety remains a strong point, featuring 6 airbags, ESP, hill-hold assist, and Level 2 ADAS with adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist.The model is expected to achieve a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating, making it among the safest EVs in its price range.

Behind the Maruti Fronx EV: Maruti Suzuki’s Big EV Push

The Maruti Fronx EV is critical for Maruti Suzuki’s electrification journey, which aims to have six EVs by 2030. Developed under the leadership of Hisashi Takeuchi, the car uses Toyota’s proven EV powertrain and Suzuki’s localized engineering for India’s conditions.

R&D input from Suzuki’s Hamamatsu center ensures dust resistance, improved cooling, and optimized charging systems for Indian weather — pushing localization beyond 90% for cost efficiency.

Social Media Buzz: The “Punch EV Killer”?

Online EV communities are buzzing with the Fronx EV’s prospects. On X and Reddit, users hail it as the “Punch EV Killer” for combining Maruti’s reliability with crossover appeal. Spy shots hint at LiDAR-based ADAS, while speculation builds over a dual-tone EV-exclusive variant. Auto forums are calling it “India’s most practical electric crossover”—with fans praising its mix of range, price, and Maruti’s extensive charging network.

The Maruti Fronx EV could be India’s cheapest electric crossover with a 400+ km range, loaded interior and price under ₹12 lakh. Set to take flight in March 2027, S-Presso Electric has drawn a neat line between performance and affordability – heralding a new era in Maruti Suzuki’s electric futurism.

With reliable service, intelligent safety, and strong resale confidence the Fronx EV is not just another EV—it’s India’s affordable entry into the electric future.
