There are quite a few 7-seater options under Rs 15 lakh, and it's hard to pinpoint one without knowing your specific requirements. Thus, we would recommend the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga or its sister car, the Toyota Rumion, as they are very good all-rounders. The third row is quite spacious, and moreover at your budget you will get a decently equipped one too.

The best 7-seater SUV you can buy under Rs 13 lakh is the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga. It is a very practical and spacious MPV that is also comfortable. The Ertiga's 103hp, 1.5-litre petrol engine is fuel-efficient, with a claimed mileage of 20.51kpl with a 5-speed manual and 20.3kpl with a 6-speed torque converter automatic.Depending on which gearbox you want, you should go for either the ZXI-manual (Rs 12.71 lakh, on-road, Delhi) or the VXI-automatic (Rs 13.04 lakh, on-road, Delhi). The VXI gets the basics like an audio system, manual AC, 6 airbags, projector headlamps and more. The ZXI adds niceties like an auto climate control, a 7-inch touchscreen, alloy wheels and much more.

Planning to purchase the XEV 9S Pack Two. (1) I am worried whether a major change like solid-state battery technology will arrive in the near future, making this purchase a bad choice. (2) The bouncy suspension in Pack Three, will it be the same in Pack Two as well?

Battery technology will continue to evolve, and solid-state batteries or something else could have a breakthrough and enter the mainstream. However, it is difficult to predict when that will happen.As for your query on the bouncy ride, yes, the Pack 3 variant has an adaptive suspension system, and it does get floaty over undulations. We have yet to review the Mahindra XEV 9S Pack 2 version. We would recommend you take a test drive of this particular version before you make any decision.
