Mahindra launched its BS6 Marazzo today at a starting price of Rs. 11.25 lakh. While at it, the company has brought about a change in its variant-designation as well. Earlier, there were four variants available: M2, M4, M6, and M8. Now, there are three: M2, M4+, and M6+. The M8 has been discontinued.

BS6 Mahindra Marazzo variants and features

Mahindra says that as the brand's new top-variant, the M6+ now comes with 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, a rear parking camera with steering-adaptive guidelines, automatic temperature control, and automatic driver-side window (one-touch up/down feature). Of course, the existing top-end features from the M8 such the 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system and Mahindra's industry-first Surround Cool technology have found their way in to the M6+ variant. It's been priced at Rs. 13.51 lakh.

Earlier, only the M6 and M8 variants used to come with alloy wheels. Now, the M4+ comes with 16-inch alloy wheels. Apparently, there are a few other features that have been added as well in the M4+ variant (as compared to the earlier M4) but Mahindra hasn't listed them in the press release. Also, it looks like the base M2 variant remains the same as earlier feature- and equipment-wise. The M4+ has been priced at Rs 12.37 lakh.
