Maruti Suzuki Fronx Vs Hyundai Exter - Normal Petrol Engine Spec Comparison (Expected)
The Maruti Suzuki Fronx gets a 1.2L normal petrol engine with a manual as well as an AMT automatic transmission. It makes 90PS of power and 113Nm of torque. The Exter will also get a 1.2L normal petrol engine with a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed AMT automatic transmission. It’s likely to make 83PS of power and 114Nm of torque.
In this case, the Fronx may have a power advantage but the Exter is likely to have a slightly better torque output at lower RPMs. in terms of fuel efficiency, the Fronx is likely to maintain an upper hand but the Exter may also touch the 20kmpl mark.
