Things We Like in Maruti Suzuki FRONX

Offers both naturally aspirated and turbo-petrol engine options.
Available with manual, AMT, and torque converter automatic transmissions.

Things We Like in Hyundai Exter

Standard six airbags and comprehensive safety package across variants.
Smooth 4-cylinder engine, free of the shudder or coarse note common to rivals' 3-cylinder units, even at idle.

Things We Don't Like in Maruti Suzuki FRONX

No diesel engine option available in the lineup.
No factory-offered sunroof, which several rivals provide.

Things We Don't Like in Hyundai Exter

No crash-test rating, as neither Bharat NCAP nor Global NCAP has tested it, unlike the 5-star rated Tata Punch.
Highway performance dips when loaded, with overtaking needing planning and no turbo option available.
