Maruti Fronx vs Citroen C3 vs Tata Altroz vs Hyundai i20: Specification and Mileage Comparison

The Baleno-based Maruti Suzuki Fronx is all set to hit the Indian market in the coming days. Bookings for the sub-4m crossover are already underway. While it doesnโ€™t have any direct rival, it can be seen as a more rugged alternative to the Tata Altroz, Hyundai i20, Citroen C3 and its younger siblings, Maruti Baleno and Toyota Glanza.

Here weโ€™ve compared the engine specifications and fuel efficiency (mileage) figures of the Fronx with the above-mentioned premium hatchbacks.

  • While the Citroen C3 is the least powerful offering with its 1.2L mill, it offers the most torque among all.
  • The Maruti Baleno and Toyota Glanza are the most fuel-efficient cars here, followed by Fronx, Hyundai i20, and Citroen C3.
  • Tata Altroz claims the least fuel efficiency.
  • The Citroen C3 misses out on the automatic transmission.
