For a premium of just Rs 7,000, the Swift not only offers a bigger 9-inch touchscreen over the Fronx, but additional comfort and convenience features like rear AC vents, wireless smartphone charger, a premium 6-speaker Arkamys sound system, and cruise control.

The Fronx’ mid-spec Delta Plus (O) variant on other hand gets a smaller 7-inch touchscreen with wireless support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Maruti’s crossover also gets the necessary creature comforts like automatic AC, steering mounted audio controls, automatic headlights, and a 4-speaker sound system.

On the safety front, both cars here get six airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), and hill hold assist. The Swift however additionally comes with a rear parking camera as well, which is absent on the similarly priced variant of the Fronx.

Final Takeaway

At a price point of around Rs 9 lakh, the 2024 Maruti Swift comes in a fully loaded trim, offering many additional features compared to the Fronx’s mid-spec Delta Plus (O) variant. While the Fronx is from a segment above, it misses out on several features like wireless charging, a premium sound system, cruise control, and a rear parking camera at this price point. However, the Fronx still stands out as a better option than the Swift in terms of space.

If you are looking for a feature-loaded package at this price point, the Swift fulfills that requirement. However, if your priority is space and ground clearance and you are willing to compromise on some additional features, the Fronx is also a good option.
