Maruti Suzuki Shows Fronx Flex-Fuel Concept, Targeting India Launch in 2026

The ethanol-blend capability advances Suzuki’s multi-pathway plan aligned with India’s biofuel push.

Overview

  • Unveiled at the Japan Mobility Show 2025, the Fronx FFV is engineered to run on blends from E20 up to E85.
  • Multiple outlets report an India market debut is expected in 2026, though final production specifications are not yet disclosed.
  • Key changes include ethanol-compatible fuel tank, lines and injectors, plus ECU calibration that detects ethanol content and adjusts engine parameters.
  • The concept remains visually similar to the standard Fronx with green flex-fuel decals, while the Japan-spec model offers a 1.5-litre engine, ADAS and optional AllGrip AWD.
  • The India-spec Fronx today is E20-compliant, and large-scale E85 availability is still uncertain under the country’s phased ethanol rollout.
