By Whenever a new automobile is launched, it is pitted against the competition pretty much early. Mahindra’s latest, as the company says, currently has no competition to it. However, given that the specifications exceed that of the highest sold MPV in India, the Ertiga, it is but natural that there will be comparisons. The Ertiga boasts petrol, CNG as well as diesel engines. Not to mention the manual and automatic transmission options. The Mahindra Marazzo in the meanwhile is much bigger, has a new diesel engine that makes more power than the Ertiga and more features. However, the Marazzo can only be ordered with a manual transmission and there is no petrol engine as of now. One can also extensively accessorise the Marazzo while the Ertiga has a limited at-dealer-level option. Which one comes out on top on paper. For the sake of convenience, we have taken the Mahindra Marazzo M8 vs Maruti Suzuki Ertiga Zdi+, top end trims.
