Mahindra Marazzo Mileage: Claimed Vs Real-world

Mahindra claims that its latest people mover returns 17.6km per litre. But does it? Let’s find out

When Mahindra launched its latest people mover, the Marazzo, last year, it also debuted a brand new 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder diesel engine. This engine will soon find a place under the XUV300’s bonnet too. In the Marazzo, this engine is transversely mounted to maximise cabin space.  But apart from the space on offer, does the Marazzo really deliver Mahindra’s claimed fuel efficiency figure of 17.6kmpl? To find out, we put the people mover through our test cycle. Here’s what we found:

The highway efficiency of the Mahindra Marazzo was a little lower than the figure that Mahindra claims. Under stop-go traffic conditions of the city, we got a fuel efficiency figure of 14.86kmpl, expectedly lower than the claimed fuel efficiency of 17.6kmpl. Will a combined fuel efficiency run be closer to Marazzo's claimed figures?

The figures achieved under different driving scenarios show that whether you drive predominantly in the city or out on the highway, the Marazzo is capable of returning close to 15kmpl. But expect slight variations if you’ve got a full load on passengers onboard.

There’s a healthy chance that your findings may vary from ours as traffic and weather conditions can greatly affect a car’s fuel efficiency. Moreover, the driving cycles and styles of each individual may also vary. If you are a Mahindra Marazzo owner, do let us know what your average fuel efficiency figures are in the comments below.
