Maruti Fronx Hybrid with Advanced LIDAR & Level 2 ADAS Spotted: Imminent Launch Signals Next-Gen Safety
Maruti Fronx Hybrid Spotted: LIDAR Tech, Hybrid Power, and ADAS Arrive
The production-ready Maruti Fronx Hybrid has been spotted in India, fully revealing the new model’s LIDAR sensor suite—a key part of its forthcoming Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems). Maruti Suzuki is gearing up for a market-first launch of a sub-4-meter SUV with features typically seen in premium imports, including strong hybrid technology, adaptive cruise control, and autonomous emergency braking. This move could redefine safety, efficiency, and value for Indian SUV buyers.
What Makes Fronx Hybrid Stand Out?
-
Strong Hybrid Powertrain:
Expected to get Maruti’s in-house developed “Super Ene-Charge 48V” hybrid system or 1.2L Z-series engine paired with electric motor setup; designed for high fuel efficiency and low emissions. -
LIDAR Sensors & Level 2 ADAS:
Unwrapped test mules clearly showed LIDAR sensors, confirming features like lane keeping, adaptive cruise, auto high beam, and autonomous braking. -
Design & Tech Upgrades:
Minimal cosmetic changes (Hybrid badge on tailgate), with focus on safety, drive assist, and next-gen hybrid hardware.
