The mid-spec Delta Plus variant of the Maruti Fronx commands Rs 40,000 over the Delta variant. From this variant, you get the option of the BoosterJet turbo-petrol engine, and this is the only variant which offers the choice of both the powertrains. Let’s check out what does this variant pack:

Variant	Petrol Manual	Petrol AMT	Turbo-petrol MT
Delta	Rs 8.32 lakh	Rs 8.88 lakh
Delta Plus	Rs 8.72 lakh	Rs 9.28 lakh	Rs 9.72 lakh
Difference	Rs 40,000	Rs 40,000	-

Why Consider The Delta Plus Variant?

Solely, for the purpose of the more powerful 100PS 1-litre turbo-petrol engine. If you want that extra performance and driving fun, you can choose this variant. However, the same commands a lakh over the DeltaPlus petrol-MT variant. The Delta Plus is also a more stylish looking variant compared to the Delta, due to the addition of LED headlamps, DRLs, and alloy wheels.

Here are the features that it offers:

	Exterior	Interior	Comfort and Convenience	Infotainment	Safety
Existing features from Delta Plus	ORVM-mounted turn indicators Chrome finish for the grille	Dual tone theme Fabric upholstery Rear parcel tray	Auto AC Electrically adjustable and foldable ORVMs Steering mounted controls	7-inch touchscreen system Android Auto and Apple CarPlay Auto AC Keyless entry	ESP Hill hold assist ISOFIX child seat mounts
Highlighted Features	Automatic LED multi-reflector headlamps LED DRLs Alloy wheels
Skip to Zeta variant for:	Lit up connected taillamps	Front centre armrest Telescopic steering adjust	Wireless charging Height adjustable driver’s seat Rear AC vents Rear charging ports	Suzuki Connected tech TFT MID 2 tweeters	6 Airbags Rear parking camera Rear wiper and washer

Why Skip The Delta Plus Variant?

The Fronx Delta Plus variant does not get the turbo-petrol automatic combination. While you do get an AMT transmission, the torque converter gearbox is smoother and better to use. If you want a more premium experience and several highlighted features of the Fronx, it’s better to upgrade to the Zeta variant. The Delta Plus is still not a well rounded off package and seems just up to the mark.

Variant	Verdict
Sigma	Recommended for those on a budget. Also consider if you prefer fitting aftermarket accessories.
Delta	Skip. Not worth the price premium.
Delta Plus	Worth the stretch from Delta. Choose if you prefer factory-fit features. Stick with Sigma otherwise.
Zeta	1.2 engine is sorely missed. Most value for money variant otherwise.
Alpha	Acceptable price premium for added features. Can consider. Not value for money compared to competition.
