Maruti Suzuki is gearing up for a big update to its popular crossover, the Fronx, and the latest spy shots confirm it. A test mule has been spotted with a clear “Hybrid” badge, hinting at a new electrified version. What makes it even more exciting is the presence of roof-mounted calibration gear and LiDAR sensors, which strongly suggest that the upcoming Fronx Hybrid will come with Level-2 ADAS features. This means buyers can expect advanced safety tech like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, lane departure warning, and rear cross-traffic alert — features usually seen in higher-end SUVs.
The launch timeline is expected sometime in 2026, though Maruti hasn’t confirmed an exact date yet.

While it will keep its tough, boxy SUV look that fans love, the design will take inspiration from the Scorpio-N and Thar, adding fresh touches like circular projector headlamps, LED DRLs, a bold new grille with Mahindra’s logo, flush door handles, and a tailgate-mounted spare wheel.
Step inside, and the cabin promises a big upgrade with features borrowed from Mahindra’s premium SUVs. Expect a semi-digital instrument cluster, panoramic sunroof, large touchscreen infotainment system, automatic climate control, and advanced safety tech like ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System).
