Since the Maruti Suzuki Fronx CNG is only offered in entry-level Sigma and Delta trims, it gets limited features. These include a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, SmartPlay Pro support, automatic climate control, and steering-mounted controls. It gets safety features like dual airbags and reverse parking sensors.
