The Mahindra Marazzo is a 7/8 seater Compact MPV launched in September 3, 2018 in India by Mahindra & Mahindra, India.
The Marazzo was designed and developed by Mahindra's Design Studio (India), partnering with Pininfarina (Italy), Mahindra Research Valley, Chennai and Mahindra Automotive North America, Troy, Michigan in the initial stages and product engineering. The project code name was U321. The seating arrangement is in 3 rows, with a 7-seater option with captain seats in mid row and an 8-seater version. The climate control for the rear passengers is mounted on the center roof with a diffuse throw option for reduced noise.
The Body shell is a mounted on a light weight, high, rigid ladder frame chassis containing 52% high strength steel with a transversely mounted front wheel drive-train, the world's first such arrangement. Mahindra opted for this arrangement to eliminate the floor hump in the center and the propeller shaft to reduce weight.
The vehicle offers a 4 cylinder 1.5 liter diesel engine that produces around 121bhp with 300 NM of torque.
A petrol version, along with automatic shifting, are expected to be launched in 2020
