Maruti Suzuki has added the Velocity Edition to all 14 variants of the Fronx for a limited time. The starting price of the Velocity Edition is 7.29 lakh (ex-showroom). What does it add to them? It brings a sportier and more confident look thanks to some accessories without changing the core design of the SUV. This comes after the SUV recently broke the record of being the fastest car to hit 1 Lakh sales. What are these changes? Let's find out.
