Mahindra Marazzo vs Toyota Innova Crysta vs Maruti Ertiga & Others: Spec Comparison

Features

Standard equipment: The Marazzo gets power windows all around, manual AC, front-row armrests and cup holders for all three rows as standard. Both the current Ertiga and the Lodgy miss out on all-around power windows and front-row armrest in their respective base variants.

Safety

The Mahindra Marazzo features dual airbags, ABS with EBD, disc brakes on all four wheels, impact-sensing door unlock, speed-sensing door lock and ISOFIX mounts as standard. Even its top variant gets only these many safety features, which may be a bit of a letdown for some, considering the Marazzo is otherwise a premium MPV.

The Toyota Innova gets an extra knee airbag for the driver from the base variant onwards. In its top variant, it gets 7 airbags, vehicle stability control and hill start assist too, which you won’t get in the Marazzo.

The Marazzo’s stablemate, the TUV300 Plus, misses out on the airbags and ABS on the base variant and doesn’t get ISOFIX mounts in any variant. If you want both the driver and passenger airbags with ABS on the Ertiga, you will have to opt for the LXi (O) variant which commands a premium of Rs 39,000 over the base-spec model. The Lodgy, meanwhile, gets ABS with EBD as standard but misses out on dual airbags on all except the top-of-the-line RxZ variant.

Infotainment

All the MPVs get a 7-inch touchscreen in their higher variants with connectivity options ranging from AUX-in and USB to Bluetooth. But none offer both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay pairing except the Ertiga. That said, the Marazzo’s infotainment system does offer Android Auto connectivity.

Pricing

The Marazzo starts right at the Rs 10 lakh mark, which makes its entry-level variant more expensive than the base variants of all other vehicles in this comparison apart from the Innova Crysta. But at the same time, it’s also bigger than all the cars that undercut it on the price chart. Prices for the Innova Crysta start from over Rs 14 lakh but not only does it get more powerful engines, it’s also longer and better equipped as well.

On the whole, the Marazzo clearly bridges the gap between the Ertiga and the Innova Crysta, not only on the price chart but also on many other counts, like size, cabin space and engine power.
