All Maruti Suzuki cars, SUVs now get Electronic Stability Control: How it works & benefits – Times of India

Maruti Suzuki India Ltd. (MSIL) has announced that its entire portfolio now complies with the latest BS6 Phase II Real Driving Emissions (RDE) norms, while is also compatible with E20 fuel. In addition, the carmaker has now rolled out an additional safety feature for all its cars and SUVs in the country in the form of Electronic Stability Control (ESC).
The ESC system is capable of detecting when a driver is losing vehicle control under challenging driving conditions, and then assist the driver in maintaining traction by optimally controlling engine output and braking force to each wheel, thereby bringing the vehicle under control. In simple terms, ESC helps prevent the vehicle from skidding in situations like turning into a corner or making sudden maneuver.

ESC is now being offered with all Maruti Suzuki cars as a standard fitment, including all Arena models like S-Presso, Celerio, WagonR and so on. As of now, the Maruti Suzuki line-up in India ranges from Alto K10, priced from Rs 3.99 lakh onwards, going all the way up to Rs 19.95 lakh (both prices, ex-showroom) for the range-topping Grand Vitara Alpha + Hybrid CVT dual tone.
Moreover, Maruti Suzuki recently launched the Fronx compact SUV in the Indian market at a starting price of Rs 7.46 lakh (ex-showroom). Based on the Baleno premium hatch, the Fronx will be retailed through the premium Nexa dealerships, and faces competition from the likes of Tata Punch, Citroen C3, Nissan Magnite, Renault Kiger among other similarly priced SUVs.
