One of the latest additions to Maruti’s lineup, the Maruti Fronx, entered the market in April 2023. The coupe-SUV is based on the Baleno hatchback and was launched with two petrol engine options. Now, the carmaker has added a CNG powertrain to the list making it the 15th Maruti model to get a CNG option.
