Maruti Suzuki Fronx Hybrid: Engine, Powertrain

As per reports, the Fronx Hybrid will be available with the newly developed Z12 engine, which is already in the new Swift. As well the strong hybrid version of Fronx will have a battery supporting the petrol powertrain working with electric motors. The strong hybrid version of the Maruti Suzuki Fronx will be quite different from Grand Vitara and Invicto.

The current version of the Maruti Suzuki Fronx has a 1.2-liter engine, which delivers power and torque of 89.73 hp and 113 Nm, respectively. The Fronx has a mileage of 21.79 kmpl for the 5-speed manual transmission and 22.89 kmpl for the 5-speed automatic transmission. With the new Z12 engine, the power and mileage efficiency will increase as the electric motors are more fuel-efficient. Also, fuel loss can be saved by the regenerative braking available in the strong hybrid setup. Hence, the mileage will increase to more than 30 kmpl, expected to deliver 35 kmpl.
