India’s favorite compact crossover, the Maruti Suzuki Fronx, just got a major safety upgrade. As of July 2025, all variants now come equipped with 6 airbags as standard, marking a significant step forward for safety in India’s mass-market segment.

This move aligns with Maruti Suzuki's evolving focus on offering advanced safety features in response to consumer demand and upcoming regulations.

Until now, six airbags were available only on higher Fronx variants like Zeta and Alpha. With this update, even the base Sigma and Delta trims get the full 6-airbag setup, which includes:

• Dual front airbags

This makes the Fronx more appealing to families and safety-conscious buyers, especially in a market where competitors are already pushing the envelope on safety features.
