Pros Cons of Mahindra Marazzo

Pros

  • It has a spacious cabin which can seat seven or eight passengers in reasonable comfort.
  • The ride quality is comfortable over broken roads and long highway drives.
  • The 1.5-litre diesel engine offers good refinement and respectable fuel efficiency.
  • It has a four-star Global NCAP safety rating for adult safety only.
  • The roof-mounted air-conditioning keeps all three rows cool even in hot weather.

Cons

  • The diesel engine lacks performance when carrying a full load of passengers and baggage.
  • Buyers do not get the choice of an automatic transmission or petrol engine.
  • Mahindra rarely updates its Marazzo in order to keep it competitive.
  • Newer MPVs in the segment have more modern features than the Marazzo.
  • The exterior design does not look as attractive as some of the modern MPVs.

Verdict

The Mahindra Marazzo is a practical family MPV with a four-star GNCAP rating that is spacious, comfortable, and has a good ride quality. In fact, it remains one of the more comfortable people movers in its price and also makes economic sense due to its refined diesel engine. 

However, it did not evolve with the needs of the segment. Plus, the lack of an automatic transmission, limited feature upgrades, and stronger competition from newer MPVs have made it a less attractive option over the years. 

If one is looking to buy a basic MPV that is large, comfortable and safe enough for carrying a large family over long distances, the Marazzo is still a sensible buy. However, if you are looking for modern technology, multiple powertrain options, or a richer ownership ecosystem, there are better options in the market.

Pros Cons of Renault Duster

Pros

  • Modern buyers will find a practical list of safety and comfort features. 
  • The highway stability and overall ride quality are excellent. 
  • Supportive seats with ventilation make long drives comfortable.  
  • Both turbo-petrol engines offer strong performance and good drivability. 
  • Engaging steering and driving position boosts driving experience. 

Cons

  • The 1.3-litre turbo returns a real-world city mileage of about 9kmpl. 
  • Both engines display some turbo lag during slow-speed driving. 
  • Centre console intrudes into left knee space, more so for taller users. 
  • The three-cylinder 1.0-litre engine emits more NVH and has no automatic option. 
  • Average rear-view camera quality and the DCT gearbox feels jerky sometimes.

Verdict

The Renault Duster still has the genes of the original, which it such a success in India. Sure, it does not try to attract buyers with flashy functions or an endless feature list. What it does is focus on delivering a comfortable ride, superb stability, strong turbo-petrol performance and that true SUV driving experience. 

Bilal Firfiray stated in his review: 

"It’s engaging enough to make enthusiastic drivers smile, yet comfortable enough to keep families happy." 

If your priority is a well-rounded SUV that can go over poor roads, cruise comfortably on highways, and still offer an enjoyable driving experience, the Duster ranks quite high in its segment. Just be aware that not the automatic gearbox is not an option on all powertrains and variants, unlike some rivals.
