Maruti Suzuki has exported 2 lakh units of the Fronx compact SUV, making it the fastest model to reach this milestone. The company achieved the figure in 38 months, with exports beginning in June 2023. The vehicle is now exported to 90 countries from Maruti's Hansalpur plant in Gujarat. The first 1 lakh units took 25 months, but the second lakh took only 13 months, indicating rising global demand. Japan is a major export market. In FY2024-25, the Fronx was India's most exported passenger car. In the second quarter of 2026, 23,803 units were shipped abroad. Domestically, the Fronx sold 19,473 units in July 2026, a 51% year-on-year rise from 12,872 units in July 2025. Prices in India range from Rs 6.85 lakh to Rs 11.98 lakh (ex-showroom). The CNG variant offers a mileage of 28.51 km per kg, while the mild hybrid and petrol versions deliver 21.5 kmpl and 21.79 kmpl respectively.

The article is promotional in tone, highlighting the model's popularity without any scrutiny of trends or competition.
