If you're looking for a budget 7-seater car in India, the Renault Triber (₹6
1–8
74 lakh) is the most affordable and practical option
It has a 1
0L petrol engine and removable third-row seats
AC vents are available for both second and third rows, which is great in summer
Next up, the Maruti Ertiga (₹8
84–13
13 lakh) and Toyota Rumion (₹10
54–13
83 lakh) are basically the same car with different badges
Both offer a 1
5L petrol engine (103hp), sliding and reclining second-row seats, usable third-row space for adults, and roof-mounted AC vents — perfect for families
The Mahindra Bolero (₹9
80–10
91 lakh) comes with a 1
5L diesel engine (76hp) and rugged build, but has basic interiors and side-facing jump seats in the third row — only suitable for kids
The Bolero Neo (₹9
95–12
16 lakh) is a more modern version, slightly better in comfort but still not ideal for third-row adults
The Kia Carens (₹10
60–19
70 lakh) is a well-equipped, premium MPV with three engine options — petrol, turbo-petrol, and diesel
It offers top features like electric one-touch tumble for the second row, rear sunshades, tray tables, and good third-row comfort
Citroën Aircross (₹12
46–14
35 lakh) has soft seats and a unique design, but the third row is tight and best for children; the seats can be removed for more boot space
Mahindra Scorpio Classic (₹13
62–17
50 lakh) is a tough SUV with a 2
2L diesel engine but lacks third-row AC vents and only has jump seats at the back
Moving to a more premium segment, the Scorpio N (₹14–24
90 lakh) is a powerful SUV available in petrol and diesel
It has front-facing third-row seats with seatbelts, decent legroom, and modern features, but no third-row AC vents
Finally, the Mahindra XUV700 (₹14
50–25
90 lakh) is the most feature-loaded SUV on this list, with panoramic sunroof, memory seats, and dedicated third-row AC vents
However, the last row is still a bit tight for tall adults
