The Mahindra Marazzo MPV is about to get dearer from 1 January, 2019. The MPV, which was launched in September this year, currently carries an introductory price of Rs 9.99 lakh. Mahindra has stated that the price hike will range from Rs 30,000 to Rs 40,000, depending on the variant.
Here’s a rough estimate of how the price hike will affect each variant of the Marazzo:
| Variant | Current Price | Expected Price Range w.e.f. 01-01-2019 (min-max) |
| M2 7-seater | Rs 9.99 lakh | Rs 10.29 lakh - Rs 10.39 lakh |
| M2 8-seater | Rs 10.04 lakh | Rs 10.34 lakh - Rs 10.44 lakh |
| M4 7-seater | Rs 10.95 lakh | Rs 11.25 lakh - Rs 11.35 lakh |
| M4 8-seater | Rs 11 lakh | Rs 11.30 lakh - Rs 11.40 lakh |
| M6 7-seater | Rs 12.40 lakh | Rs 12.70 lakh - Rs 12.80 lakh |
| M6 8-seater | Rs 12.45 lakh | Rs 12.75 lakh - Rs 12.85 lakh |
| M8 7-seater | Rs 13.90 lakh | Rs 14.20 lakh - Rs 14.30 lakh |
(All prices, ex-showroom Delhi)
The price hike could raise the entry point for owning a Marazzo. It could even make it more expensive than the starting price of rivals like the current-gen Maruti Ertiga or even the Renault Lodgy. The Marazzo is bigger than the above mentioned MPVs and even boasts of an 8-seat layout. Post the price hike, the top-spec Marazzo will continue to undercut Toyota’s premium MPV, the Innova Crysta.
Here’s what the price hike would mean for the Mahindra Marazzo in comparison to some of its diesel powered rivals:
| Model | Mahindra Marazzo (expected w.e.f. 01-01-2019) | Maruti Ertiga (outgoing) (as of 16-11-18) | Toyota Innova Crysta (as of 16-11-2018) |
| Price range (for diesel variants, ex-showroom, Delhi) | Rs 10.29 lakh to Rs 14.30 lakh | Rs 8.79 lakh to Rs 10.69 lakh | Rs 15.77 lakh to Rs 22.01 lakh |
