Image gallery: 2018 Mahindra Marazzo
The Mahindra Marazzo is a brand-new MPV, developed from the ground up as a collaboration between the Mahindra North American Technical Centre and Mahindra Research Valley in India. Styling is a result of collaboration between several agencies, including the above and Mahindra-owned design studio, Pininfarina. Proportions are led by the need to maximize interior space between the wheels, with the wheels pushed out to the corners.
Underpinning it is a new platform, utilising a body-on-frame construction. The engine is also new, a 1.5-litre turbocharged diesel mated to a six-speed manual, and it drives the front wheels. After all the teaser and spy images we've seen, here's a closer look at the all-new Mahindra Marazzo.
