Mahindra Marazzo will not be discontinued; AMT variant to be launched soon
While there are reports online which suggest that Mahindra may look to discontinue the Marazzo, the opposite of it is true. Mahindra confirms that not only will the Marazzo continue to be on sale but Mahindra will launch the MPV with an ‘AutoShift’ gearbox option very soon. AutoShift is Mahindra-speak for AMT. In fact, test units of the Marazzo with ‘Autoshift’ badging were spotted way back in November 2020. Team carandbike reached out to Mahindra and Mahindra with a query directed at discontinuation of the Marazzo and the KUV100. And the company responded with the following statement.
