Maruti Fronx, Fronx turbo performance, Fronx vs i20 N Line, fun to drive hatchback -DellyRanks

Fronx turbo has the more responsive engine while the i20 N Line is a nicer handler.

After watching your drag race video, I test drove the Fronx Turbo manual and was bowled by its 1-litre’s performance. I’m in a dilemma now, between the Fronx Turbo Alpha MT and Hyundai i20 N Line N8 MT, which is the better driver’s car?

Autocar India says: Suzuki’s 1.0-litre turbo-petrol has lesser turbo lag and better judged gear ratios, hence it feels more drivable compared to the i20 N Line. The Fronx gets an SUV-ish appearance, it has a raised stance and its excellent ride and handling balance further add to driver’s confidence. However, between the two, the Hyundai i20 N Line manual is the better driver’s car. Besides all the sporty cosmetics add ons, the N Line’s 1.0-litre turbo makes 20hp and 24Nm more than the Fronx Turbo. It also features tweaks to its power steering, suspension and brakes that make it one of the nicer handling cars in the market.
