Pros and Cons

  • Positives
  • Negatives
Kia Seltos
  • Looks aggressive and has strong road presence.
  • Cabin space is accommodating for a family of 5.
  • 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, ISOFIX, rear camera, TPMS and a lot more safety as standard. Higher variants add ADAS, 360-degree camera and more!
  • Variety of engines and transmissions means there’s a Seltos for different use cases.
  • Interior feels well built. Solid fitment quality.
  • Feature-rich: 30-inch panoramic display, 8-speaker BOSE music system, ventilated front seats, powered driver’s seat with memory, panoramic sunroof and a lot more.
Mahindra Marazzo
  • Space, everyday usability, likeable quality, 4-star safety rating
Kia Seltos
  • Styling isn’t as sleek, sporty and understated as the previous car. This car looks more polarising vs the universal likeability of the predecessor.
  • Plastic panels used throughout the cabin can scratch easily.
  • Some minor feature misses: Powered tailgate, boss lever to adjust co-driver’s seat, rear seat ventilation (like the Syros)
Mahindra Marazzo
  • Ill-equipped lower variants, no automatic transmission, no petrol engine

Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which is better Marazzo, Ertiga or XL6?
  • Selecting between the Maruti Ertiga, Maruti XL6 and Mahindra Marazzo would depend on certain factors such as your preference of the brand, usage, cabin space, fuel type, etc. The Mahindra Marazzo has carved out a nice niche for itself, right between the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga and the Toyota Innova Crysta. It’s a pukka 7- /8-seater and has all the goodies a modern family would require. Sure, it isn’t a driver’s delight, but that’s hardly something that’s expected from an MPV anyway. Whereas, the Ertiga is visually identical to the BS4 model and is wider and longer than its predecessor. It also has 15-inch alloy wheels and LED elements in the taillamps. Interior features include a Smartplay Studio infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a color TFT multi-information display, steering-mounted audio controls, and automatic climate control. So, if you want a comfortable ride for 7 people then you can enjoy it with the reliable people mover Maruti Suzuki Ertiga with a good spacious cabin. On the other hand, Maruti has done enough with the XL6 to distinguish it from the Ertiga but a few more wow features and a better safety package would have made it an irresistible package. As it stands it's a good option for a large family looking for one car that could do it all. However, a few more wow features and a better safety package would have made the XL6 an irresistible package. Moreover, we would suggest you take a test drive before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership.
Q. Bolero vs Marazzo which one is best?
  • I am planning to buy a Mahindra Vehicle. We are living in hill station so which is good for us bolero or Marazzo?
  • Both are in different segment. Comparison is not ideal.
Q. Why Marazzo is best from Creta and Innova?
  • If you want a people mover with 121bhp and a top of line basically M8 variant with 17 inch alloy wheels with SUV like characteristics in a MPV or MUV....A must choice for your taste.....
