Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Kia Carens
- Looks unique, in a good way.
- Good presence with generous exterior dimensions
- Lots of practical elements integrated into the cabin
- Available in 6- and 7-seater configurations
- Turbo-petrol and diesel engine options
- Automatic transmission option with both engines
Mahindra Marazzo
- Refined engine and light steering is great around town
- Well thought out practical interiors
- Great ride comfort in a variety of conditions and road surfaces
- Great passenger space in all three rows

Kia Carens
- Missing some premium features
- Looks more like an MPV, than an SUV
- 16-inch wheels look small on the overall large side profile
Mahindra Marazzo
- Bigger engine will be missed when climbing hilly roads with a full load
- Slight vibrations felt through the floorboards at cruising speeds when fully loaded
- Third row, right-side passenger seat lacks shoulder room on account of the AC duct
- Some storage areas, like in the second row, could have been better thought out
