Bombay-based Indian Utility Vehicle Giant, Mahindra, is known all over the world for its splendid Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs). Mahindra makes one of the best (real) SUVs in India and these SUVs are excellent in more ways than one. But, what if you don't wanna go off-road and instead want a spacious and practical people mover to cruise on the tarmac. To fulfil this desire of the Indian car buyers, Mahindra launched the new Marazzo in September 2018. The Marazzo is a proper MPV and it is a type of vehicle which we have never seen from the house of Mahindra. So, today we have for you the First Look Review of the new 2020 Mahindra Marazzo BS6.
2020 Mahindra Marazzo: Looks and Colour Options
Mahindra Marazzo is a good looking and a very well proportionate MPV. Mahindra says that the design of the Marazzo has been inspired from a Shark. The company has even released a TVC of the Marazzo and it has a tagline Smooth as a Shark, Silent as a Shark. Leaving these things aside, at the front, the Marazzo gets Mahindra's signature seven-slate grille. The grille is flanked by large projector headlamps while the fog lamps and the daytime-running LEDs are positioned on either side of the bumper.
Coming to the side profile, this is where one can feel the sheer length of the Marazzo. The Marazzo gets a very aerodynamic design language with cuts and creases on the body line and door-mounted ORVMs to offer better visibility. The Marazzo runs on machined-cut dual-tone 17-inch alloy wheels. At the rear, it gets commanding taillamps with a chrome embellished grille and a shark fin antenna. The Marazzo is offered in six different colour variants - Aqua Marine, Oceanic Black, Mariner Maroon, Shimmering Silver, Iceberg White, and Poseidon Purple.
