Discover the top 10 most affordable 7-seater cars in India for 2025, perfect for families seeking spacious and versatile options under Rs 15 lakh. From practical MPVs to rugged SUVs, brands like Maruti, Renault, Mahindra, Citroen, Toyota, and Kia offer a range of choices tailored to Indian needs. Below is a list of the best three-row vehicles, ranked by their ex-showroom prices, to help you find the ideal fit for your budget.
1. Renault Triber
Rs 6.3 lakh – 9.17 lakh 72hp, 1-litre petrol The Renault Triber stands out as a compact MPV with unmatched practicality and comfort at this price. Its middle-row seats feature a 60:40 split, adjustable backrests, and sliding functionality, offering flexibility. Folding or removing the second row provides easy access to the third row and extra cargo space. The AC vents for all rows ensure comfort even on hot days, making it a top pick for small families.
2. Maruti Ertiga
Rs 9.12 lakh – 13.41 lakh 103hp, 1.5-litre petrol The Maruti Ertiga shines with its wide-opening doors and cushioned front seats, simplifying entry and exit. The adjustable second-row seats slide for added legroom, while large windows brighten the cabin. Though the middle row only folds (not tumbles), the third row offers ample headroom and shoulder space, ideal for adults on long drives, complete with vents and Type-C ports.
3. Mahindra Bolero
Rs 9.81 lakh – 10.93 lakh 76hp, 1.5-litre diesel The Mahindra Bolero brings a rugged, no-frills appeal, though it feels dated. Its high ground clearance aids off-road use, but narrow seats and limited knee room in the front and middle rows may disappoint. The third row features side-facing seats suited for kids, and the interior quality lags for its near-10 lakh price tag.
4. Mahindra Bolero Neo
Rs 9.97 lakh – 12.18 lakh 100hp, 1.5-litre diesel An upgrade from the Bolero, the Mahindra Bolero Neo offers a modern interior with supportive front seats and armrests, though firmer cushioning. The middle row fits three comfortably, but the third row’s side-facing jump seats lack space, making them better folded for luggage rather than passengers.
5. Toyota Rumion
Rs 10.67 lakh – 13.96 lakh 103hp, 1.5-litre petrol Based on the Maruti Ertiga, the Toyota Rumion mirrors its design with a beige, functional cabin. All three rows provide comfortable seating, packed with storage options. Its shorter wait times compared to the Ertiga make it a practical choice for buyers seeking reliability.
6. Kia Carens
Rs 11.41 lakh 115hp, 1.5-litre petrol The Kia Carens delivers a premium cabin with cushioned seats across all rows. The front offers a great view, while the second row’s 60:40 split seats tumble easily, aided by an electric button on the kerbside. The third row accommodates tall passengers comfortably, enhancing its family-friendly appeal.
7. Kia Carens Clavis
Rs 11.50 lakh – 19.50 lakh 115hp, 1.5-litre petrol; 160hp, 1.5-litre turbo-petrol; 116hp, 1.5-litre diesel The Kia Carens Clavis elevates the experience with ventilated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, and powered driver adjustments. Second-row AC vents and foldable trays add luxury, while one-touch tumble access to the third row ensures ease. It offers ample space for adults, plus USB ports and adjustable headrests.
8. Citroen Aircross
Rs 12.50 lakh – 14.60 lakh 82hp, 1.2-litre petrol; 110hp, 1.2-litre turbo petrol Known for comfort, the Citroen Aircross features well-cushioned front seats with a driver armrest. The middle row’s 60:40 split seats lack recline but tumble for third-row access. The last row, mounted on the boot floor, suits kids due to limited headroom and kneeroom, with removable seats for extra cargo.
9. Mahindra Scorpio Classic
Rs 13.77 lakh – 17.72 lakh 130hp, 2.2-litre diesel The Mahindra Scorpio Classic’s high ground clearance offers a commanding view, with fabric-upholstered front seats and armrests. The second row fits three, but the third row’s side-facing jump seats lack belts and rear vents, limiting their practicality for adults.
10. Mahindra Scorpio N
Rs 13.99 lakh – 25.42 lakh 203hp, 2-litre turbo petrol; 132hp/175hp, 2.2-litre diesel The Mahindra Scorpio N upgrades with leatherette seats and excellent lumbar support. The second row’s 60:40 split seat tumbles on one side, offering generous space. The third row provides front-facing seats with belts, though space remains tight for adults, lacking AC vents.
