Maruti Fronx vs Tata Punch โ€“ Specs, Dimensions and Features

Previewed at the 2023 Auto Expo, the Maruti Suzuki Fronx is the carmakerโ€™s latest sub-4-metre utility vehicle that is expected to go on sale next month. Pre-launch bookings for the Fronx are already underways, and as per the brand, it is getting around 250-300 takers every day, which is a huge number. When launched, it could pose a serious threat to Tataโ€™s highly sought-after micro-SUV, the Punch.

Hereโ€™s take a closer look at how these two SUV-styled models compare on paper.
