Mahindra Marazzo gets its basics spot on, as an MPV and an everyday car. For daily commute, whether you are driver or passenger, it is should feel comfortable and easy to live in. On features, it gets majority of the things covered. However, it misses out on some essentials and some power features. But, Mahindra has gun for an aggressive price tag."

The quality of the fit and finish is far superior to anything we've seen, from the company; and we wonder if this is the turning point of the company's fortunes. The new Mahindra Marazzo MPV is priced below Hexa and Innova Crysta, but gets into the Ertiga and Lodgy territory."
