Mahindra & Mahindra has officially revealed that the production version of the U321 MPV will be called the ‘Mahindra Marazzo’. The home-grown carmaker has also released a few teaser pictures of the MPV revealing its silhouette and minor design details. Interestingly, the Mahindra Marazzo MPV will be based on the company’s all-new platform. The company claims the MPV will have world class body built and offer the best-in-class ride.
The design and development of the new Mahindra MPV took place at Mahindra’s North American Technical Centre. In the MPV space, the Mahindra Marazzo will take head-to-head against the upcoming Maruti Suzuki Ertiga (base variant) and the Toyota Innova Crysta (top-spec variant). The carmaker’s new flagship MPV will go on sale before 2018 festive season.
