Mahindra launches Mahindra Marazzo today: Know price, specs, and more

Mahindra is about to launch its much awaited multi purpose vehicle (MPV), Mahindra Marazzo, today. The name has been derived from a Spanish word of Basque origin which translates into ‘shark’ in English. The Marazzo, the first passenger car developed at Mahindra’s North American Technical Centre, has been co-designed by Pininfarina and Mahindra’s design studio in Kandivali, Mumbai.

The design of the Marazzo is said to be inspired by a shark. Several elements – inside and out – have been styled to mimic certain aspects of a shark, says Ananthan Ramkripa, chief designer at Mahindra. Speaking at the name-reveal event, M&M Managing Director Pawan Goenka had said: “The shark-inspired Marazzo symbolises the next generation of aspirational Mahindra vehicles. A collaborative effort of Pininfarina, Mahindra Design Studio, MNATC and MRV, the Marazzo is born of a vision to design a global vehicle with quality and refinement keeping in mind the aspirations of our customers.”

The Marazzo is expected to come in seven-seater and eight-seater variants. The MPV is expected to come feature-packed with creature comforts and equipment such as Mahindra's latest infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, steering-mounted audio controls, automatic climate control with vents for all three rows, projector headlamps and daytime running lights (DRLs). The Marazzo is going to have the largest footprint (wheelbase x front track) of any Mahindra vehicle till date and is expected to get a number of innovations in order to meet international standards, according to Rajan Wadhera, President Automotive Sector, M&M Ltd.
