Maruti Suzuki Fronx vs Brezza: what owners and experts say

Handling

Fronx: Strongly positiveBrezza: Generally negative

Fronx: “and what I'm really happy about with is unlike many marutis this... actually returns to centre so that's really something nice to see”

Brezza: “The steering, for instance, is pretty direct but it just doesn't feel crisp — the way it turns into corners it's quite planted, feels solid, but again it's not as quick and as sharp as you'd want it to be to really hit that sweet spot.”

Rear seat space

Brezza: Strongly positiveFronx: Generally negative

Brezza: “Its backseat remains just as comfortable, and thanks to its boxy dimensions, space for this segment is among the best — this is one of the few compact SUVs that can accommodate three abreast comfortably.”

Fronx: “In the back seat is where the Fronx struggles — space is not the best. The roof is also tapering down, so headroom is a bit of an issue if you're over six feet. Legroom is just about enough. Under-thigh support, again, not the best.”

Boot space

Brezza: Strongly positiveFronx: Mixed reviews

Brezza: “The Brezza offers 328 litres of luggage space... the space is large and usable, and should you need more room, the 60:40 split seats can also be folded to form a near-flat luggage bay.”

Air conditioning

Brezza: Generally positiveFronx: Mixed reviews

Brezza: “The AC was much better than I expected. I thought a sub-1000cc-class engine might mean the AC gets cut back like on some Skoda models, but no — the AC was actually better here.”

Fronx: “ये अभी इसमें जो रियर एसी वेंट है वो भाई ने बताया वर्किंग नहीं है। (This rear AC vent it has — the owner told us it isn't working.)”

Seat comfort

Brezza: Mixed reviewsFronx: Generally negative

Brezza: “The front seats are also large and accommodating, but the cushioning is just too soft, so on a long journey you'd probably be fidgeting about.”

Fronx: “जो रिक्लाइनिंग एंगल भी है वो अगर थोड़ा सा बेटर होता आई वुड हैव रियली लव्ड इट। (If the [rear seat] reclining angle were a bit better, I would have really loved it.)”
