It is explained by the first reason that the dealers wanted to spare the time for the Marazzo MPV which is recently launched on September 3, 2018. Launching the Y400 on October 9, Mahindra will only leave only about a month-long gap for the two launches. As a result, the dealers wish to bring more floor-space for the MPV before introducing another product.
