Suzuki Unveils Fronx Flex-Fuel Concept, India Launch Expected in 2026

Reported E85 compatibility aligns with India’s drive to raise ethanol content at the pump.

Overview

  • The Fronx FFV concept debuted at the Japan Mobility Show 2025 with the ability to run on petrol blends ranging from E20 to E85.
  • Multiple automotive outlets report that a Maruti Suzuki flex-fuel Fronx is expected to reach the Indian market in 2026, subject to policy and fuel availability.
  • The flex-fuel version retains the standard Fronx design with green decals, while key changes focus on fuel storage, supply and injection components.
  • Media accounts note an upgraded ECU calibrated to detect ethanol content and adjust engine parameters for efficient combustion on higher blends.
  • The current India-spec Fronx already meets E20 compliance, and government plans to increase blending levels, including exploration of E30 within five years, provide the backdrop for the flex-fuel rollout.
