Maruti Fronx Facelift Hybrid Gears Up for 2026 Launch With Fresh Styling and Impressive Mileage
If you’re looking for a compact SUV that has fuel efficiency, safety and modern features, the Maruti Fronx Facelift Hybrid might be the one to watch out in 2026. Slated to arrive in early 2026, the updated Maruti Fronx Facelift Hybrid goes beyond a design refresh by introducing a brand-new hybrid setup expected to deliver an impressive 35 to 40 kmpl.
New Looks, Old Charm
Visually, the updated Fronx shows off a sharper front look with a redesigned grille, reworked bumpers, fresh alloy designs, and revised lighting at both ends. It’s still the compact crossover you know but with a sharper and more aggressive look. Inside, expect minor updates like slightly reworked dashboard, larger touchscreen, new upholstery and even factory fitted electric sunroof to answer a long pending demand from buyers.
In-House Hybrid Tech with Punch
Under the hood, the Maruti Fronx Facelift Hybrid will use the same 1.2L Z12E 3-cylinder petrol engine seen in the latest Swift and Dzire – but here, it’s tuned to work in a hybrid setup. But here it plays a different role. Instead of direct drive, it acts as a generator in Maruti’s self developed strong hybrid setup, using a 1.5-2.5 kWh compact battery to deliver best in class fuel efficiency. This is Maruti’s own hybrid tech, not a Toyota hand me down – and that’s a big deal.
Safety Gets Serious
Maruti has been stepping up its safety game and the Fronx facelift reflects that. You can expect six airbags as standard, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), hill hold assist and 360 degree surround view camera.
What’s really exciting is the possibility of ADAS finally making its way into Maruti’s mainstream offerings. Features like adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, autonomous emergency braking and rear cross traffic alert are rumored to be included, taking cues from the Indonesian version.
