Does the Marazzo's unique cooling system actually make any difference for the passengers?

I’ve ridden in one during peak summer and it makes a difference. It doesn’t just blast from a few vents, the air is more evenly distributed. It was definitely more comfortable than other MPVs I’ve been in.

Nothing revolutionary but it's okay. Yeah, it’s a bit more even, but you can get a good traditional AC system that will do the trick. It feels like Mahindra is a bit overselling it.

I always get stuck in the third row, so I appreciate it. Fight over vent direction or freeze/sweat depending on where you sit no more. It's subtle, but it works.

It's a nice feature, I think, but not a deal breaker. It’s more about the overall AC capacity. No fancy distribution will help if the system isn't powerful enough in 45°C heat.

It's great for road trips. There's no having to crank the AC up to arctic levels to keep everyone comfortable. It also saves fuel, because you’re not constantly adjusting the temperature.
Is the Marazzo's body on frame with front wheel drive a smart compromise, or a weird halfway house?

I think it's pretty clever. The durability you get for rough roads is without giving up too much on comfort and handling. Ideal for Indian conditions where you need a bit of everything.

It feels like they didn't know what they wanted it to be. Or full unibody for better dynamics, or go full body on frame and make it tougher. The worst of both might land up on this middle ground.

As an engineer, it's fascinating. It’s not conventional, but it addresses a particular need for the target market. I’d be interested to see how it fairs long term vs traditional designs.

That's a smart move for Mahindra. It's a chance to get some of their SUV tech back, while still making a family hauler that's comfortable. This saves on development costs and it provides them with a unique selling point.

I'm skeptical. Okay, maybe it will work okay, but will it be a nightmare to maintain down the road? When designs are unusual, so are the (and expensive) problems later on.
Is the Marazzo's 4 star Global NCAP rating a game changer for safety in the MPV segment?
27 December 2024 09:39
It's definitely a big deal. Since most MPVs in India are death traps on wheels, having one with actual safety credentials is big. It might make other brands raise their game too.

It’s 4 stars, which is good, but let’s not pretend it’s revolutionary. These days plenty of cars get 5 stars. It's not something to brag about, it should be the minimum standard.

That, for a parent, definitely makes the Marazzo a high point on my list. It's worth a lot to have peace of mind when you're hauling the whole family around.

But that's a step in the right direction and I'm worried it will be used to justify cutting corners elsewhere. "It's safe, so we don't need to make it comfortable or efficient."

The rating is great but I'm more intrigued by real world performance. How does it deal with common Indian accident scenarios? That's what really matters.
Is Marazzo's diesel-only engine lineup a smart move, or a limitation in today's market?
27 December 2024 09:39
Diesel still works for an MPV. With better torque for hauling people and luggage, and better fuel efficiency, it’s a big plus for budget conscious families. Mahindra knows their market.

It's short-sighted. In cities, diesel's days are numbered. At the least, future proofing the model should at least offer a petrol option. When diesel is banned or heavily taxed what happens?

I like it. High mileage is better for diesel engines, because they last longer. It is perfect for long term MPV owners who tend to make long trips.

They're limiting their market. Other people quite simply prefer petrol engines or are worried about the cost of diesel maintenance. Why couldn’t we just give people both and let them decide what they wanted?

It's a gamble. But if diesel stays viable in India for another decade, they’ll look smart. If they don't, they'll have to go back and update the entire platform. A risky way that may end up paying off.
