The Maruti Fronx’s second-from-top Zeta variant is available only with the turbo-petrol engine, and with the six-speed torque converter automatic option. It does attract a decent premium over the Delta Plus turbo-petrol variant but offers a lot of value for it. Let’s see exactly what it has to offer:

Variant	Turbo-petrol MT	Turbo-petrol AT
Delta Plus	Rs 9.72 lakh	-
Zeta	Rs 10.55 lakh	Rs 12.05 lakh
Difference	Rs 83,000	-

Why Consider the Zeta Variant?

The Zeta variant looks like a well-rounded package and is the one we would recommend. There are several feature additions with a wireless charger, telescopic steering adjustment, engine push button start-stop, rear AC vents, and height adjustable driver’s seat, which will add to the convenience and will also make the cabin experience better. The safety quotient is also a step up here, with six airbags and a rear parking camera. The price hike seems steep but is justified for the additions that one gets.

Upgrade to Alpha for:	Dual Tone exterior shades Precision cut alloy wheels UV-cut glasses	Leather-wrapped steering wheel	Cruise control Auto folding ORVMs	9-inch touchscreen system Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay Arkamys sound system	Head up display 360-degree camera

Why Skip The Zeta Variant?

If you are looking for a high-end variant, the Fronx Zeta should be a fitting choice. However, if you still want a more premium experience and the best of the Fronx, you will have to upgrade to the Alpha variant. The bigger touchscreen system and head-up display will add to the premium experience, while a 360-degree camera will woo new age drivers and even the experienced ones while parking in tight spaces. It’s also the only variant to offer cruise control, a useful feature for highway cruising.

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.
