Mahindra Marazzo prices to increase in January 2019

The new Mahindra MPV is about to get costlier by up to Rs 40,000, with the top variant set to cross the Rs 14 lakh mark.

• Mahindra Marazzo prices to be hiked by Rs 30,000 to Rs 40,000

• Currently, the base version of the MPV is priced at Rs 9.99 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi)

• Starting price to go up to Rs 10.39 lakh post Jan 2019

• Top-spec Marazzo will continue to remain cheaper than the Innova Crysta diesel post price hike

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
