I currently own a Wagon R CNG, but I want to move to a comfortable 7-seater car for my family with low maintenance costs. Usage will mainly be within the city for office commuting, along with some outstation trips.
The Maruti Suzuki Ertiga is a good option to consider. It is spacious, comfortable and easy to drive. The 1.5-litre petrol engine is refined and offers good performance, and the CNG option is also available if you want to keep running costs low.
The Ertiga is also quite reliable and has a strong service network, which should make it easy to maintain.

I want to upgrade to a seven-seater, but I am confused between a new Triber or Ertiga, and a used XL6. My usage is mostly in the city with occasional highway trips. My priorities are low maintenance and good mileage. Please suggest. Also, I would like to know what good automatic car options are available under Rs 8 to 9 lakh. Thank you.
The Maruti Suzuki XL6 is a more premium version of the Ertiga, and it is based on the same platform. However, the XL6 is a 6-seater, thus consider between the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga or the Renault Triber, both of which are 7-seaters.
The Renault Triber is a sub-4m MPV, though, so while it is more affordable, it is smaller than the Ertiga, and the 1.0 litre engine is not powerful, especially so when fully loaded.
As for your query about a good automatic car under Rs 9 lakh, you can consider the Maruti Suzuki Baleno, or if you would like an SUV body style, the Nissan Magnite would be a good choice.

I currently own an Ertiga Diesel VDI and am planning to change my car. I want a 7-seater vehicle with an automatic transmission and would like suggestions on suitable options.
The most logical option for you would be to upgrade to the current Ertiga, which is a generation ahead of the one you currently have.
The current Maruti Suzuki Ertiga is more spacious than your model and comes with a smooth 6-speed automatic too.
However, there is no diesel option available like in the previous generation Ertiga that you own. So if you are looking for an MPV with the low running cost of diesel, the next best option, if you have the budget, is the Kia Carens Clavis diesel. It comes with a 1.5 diesel automatic, coupled to a smooth-shifting six-speed auto transmission.

Asked by: Avishamon Dec 14, 2025
I want to buy a seven-seater, and my annual running is around 20,000 km, mostly on CNG. I am confused between the Kia Carens and the Ertiga. I am concerned about the Carensโ fuel efficiency, especially in city usage. Is the Kia Carens CNG expected anytime soon?
There are no plans for a Kia Carens CNG, as the brand offers both a diesel option and an EV for those who want lower running costs. The downside, of course, is that the purchase price of these versions is higher. If you're hell-bent on CNG, the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga is an excellent car, with good space and practicality.
However, on most other fronts, the Kia Carens Clavis is better. It has a more upmarket interior with good space in all three rows, and a variety of engine options, including that diesel. Apart from the turbo-petrol engine, which has to be driven carefully to return good fuel economy, the other engines are very fuel-efficient. Hence, if it fits in your budget, we recommend the Kia Carens Clavis.

I own a 2020 Renault Triber, which is currently in good condition and has been driven for 48,000 kilometres. I would like your advice on the optimal time to sell this vehicle. Additionally, when considering a replacement, should I continue with the Renault Triber as a 7-seater option, or would you recommend a different model? I am asking because I have the perception that it may be prudent to use a car for no more than five years before exchanging it for a new one. Please guide
There are multiple schools of thought - some people may want to keep the car for the longest time possible, some might want to replace it every few years, and some might want to replace it every year. Hence, there is no right or wrong time to sell your vehicle.
If there is a car you're lusting after, or if minor niggling issues keep cropping up with your Renault Triber, then it certainly makes sense to replace it immediately. However, if the car is serving you well without any issues, you may hold on to it for a few more years. Interestingly, the resale value of a vehicle falls the steepest in the first two years, after which its residual value will reduce gradually.
So the difference in resale value at the end of five years and seven/eight years won't be drastic if the car is looked after well. We'd advise you to sell it if you are ready to upgrade to maybe a Maruti Suzuki Ertiga/XL6 or Kia Carens Clavis.

Asked by: Ashishon Dec 10, 2025
Hi, I am a new driver and want to buy a car which would be suitable for my family of 6. I generally do not buy second-hand stuff, but maybe that doesn't work with cars. Is it advisable to buy a new car or should I buy a second-hand car? My budget is 16-17 lakhs. My daily commute on average would be 35kms within the city and occasional long highway drives. Which car do you recommend?
Opting for a new car or used car boils down to how youโd like to utilise your budget. Buying used can help you get a larger vehicle with more features for the same money as a new car. However, a used vehicle does mean the vehicle has already experienced some degree of wear and tear. Specialist mechanics can help you judge if a vehicle is in good condition or not, or you could use the services of companies like Spinny that have a huge selection to choose from and also offer warranties.
New cars worth considering within your budget include the Kia Carens Clavis, Maruti Suzuki Ertiga and Maruti Suzuki XL6. These MPVs provide comfortable seating (the XL6 is a 6 seater while the Carens Clavis and Ertiga are 7 seaters) and offer decent performance. While all 3 models are easy enough to drive, we suggest you first check the Kia Carens Clavis, which feels newer and more upmarket than the Maruti Suzuki alternatives.

I am looking to buy a new 7-seater within a budget of Rs 15 to 16 lakh. My monthly driving is around 2,500km across both city and highway conditions. Which car would be the best choice for me? If a 7-seater is not possible in this budget, which 5-seater would be the best in terms of mileage, boot space, and low maintenance?
It may not be very glamorous, but one of our favourite seven-seaters is the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, which is very practical, reliable and suits your budget. The 1.5-litre engine is not very exciting, but paired to a smooth 6-speed automatic, it is easy to drive. With all seven seats in place, there is very little boot space, but of course, with the third row tucked away, it can comfortably carry five passengers with their luggage. Being the owner of a Maruti Dzire, you will be familiar with the Maruti Suzuki service experience, which should give you added confidence.

Asked by: Anitaon Dec 5, 2025
Hi, Iโm looking for a 7-seater petrol car within a budget of โน15 lakh. Are there any options available?
Currently, there are two models that fit your requirements - the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga and the Kia Carens Clavis. Both have spacious cabins that are reasonably comfortable for seven passengers, and both come with naturally aspirated 1.5-litre petrol engines.
The Ertiga, however, will be more fuel efficient and, being a Maruti car, it'll also come with a stress-free ownership experience. The Kia car, on the other hand, offers many more features, and it can even be had with either a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol or 1.5-litre diesel engine options.

I am a first-time buyer and prefer a seven-seater. My monthly running is hardly 200 km, but once every three months, I will do a 1,000 km drive with full capacity.
There are multiple seven-seater options available across different price points - the most affordable being a Renault Triber, followed by Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, Kia Carens Clavis, and so on.

Asked by: Pramod Yadavon Dec 1, 2025
I want to buy a new car. I have shortlisted three cars: Maruti Ertiga, Mahindra XUV 3XO, and Tata Sierra. I want a petrol model with a manual gearbox, good mileage, good safety features, and the ability to handle both local and occasional long drives. Please advise.
All three cars listed are very different - the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga is a no-nonsense seven-seater MPV; the XUV3XO is a turbo-petrol compact SUV with excellent ride and handling balance; and the Tata Sierra is a mid-size SUV which is likely to offer the most space and feel the most premium of the lot.
You don't seem to have a definitive requirement for a seven-seater since two out of the three cars you've listed can only seat five; the only reason to consider an Ertiga is for its fuel efficiency.
If that is something you can overlook, we'd recommend you shortlist the Mahindra XUV 3XO and Sierra. Out of these, even though the Mahindra car is likely to be punchier and more fun to drive, the Sierra's larger size and more cabin space are likely to deliver a nicer drive and cabin experience, making you feel like you've spent your money well.
The Sierra's NA petrol isn't likely to be much more efficient than the Mahindra's turbo-petrol, due to the Tata's heavier kerb weight; however, between the two, it is the one we'd recommend.
