Asked by: Maresh marieon Feb 10, 2026
I am looking for a 7-seater car under โน13 lakhs with good comfort and road presence. Which car should I consider, and which variant would you suggest?
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.

Asked by: BILAL AHMEDon Feb 9, 2026
I need a 7-seater car for my family. We drive more than 40 kilometres daily on village roads. Please suggest a good, fuel-efficient, and reliable car.
Given your requirements, you should go for the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga. The Ertiga has a spacious cabin and comes powered by a 103hp and 1.5-litre petrol engine. It has a claimed mileage of 20.51kpl with a 5-speed manual gearbox and 20.3kpl with a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox.
It can even be had in a CNG version that offers lower running costs than the petrol. Since the Ertiga is a Maruti product, it will also be reliable and stress-free to maintain. Maruti Suzuki Ertiga prices range from Rs 8.80 lakh to Rs 12.94 lakh (ex-showroom, India).

Asked by: Kalidason Jan 28, 2026
Hi, I am a first-time car buyer and want a 7-seater car. My budget is Rs 10 to 11 lakh.
The Renault Triber would be a good option for you and would fit your budget. The MPV is compact and thus easily manageable in city streets, and despite its small footprint, the third row of seats is surprisingly usable. However, the engine is quite down on power, so it needs to be worked harder on highway drives or when the car is fully loaded.
If you want something bigger with a more powerful engine, you could opt for the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga. However, this would be at the top end of your budget, with higher variants crossing it.

Asked by: Ajinkya Manoj Sonaron Jan 26, 2026
Hi Team, I am planning to buy a 7-seater car with all the basic required features, great mileage, and easy maintenance. I am confused between the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga Petrol Smart Hybrid Manual and the Kia Carens Premium Optional Diesel Manual. Please advise which one I should pick.
The Kia Carens is a better pick between the two options you are considering. The Carens is a more modern and more spacious MPV compared to the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga. It also has a more powerful and efficient 116hp, 1.5-litre diesel engine option.
The Kia Carens Premium (O) diesel comes with all necessary features like 6 airbags, TPMS, an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a height-adjustable driver's seat and more. The Kia Carens Premium (O) diesel manual is priced at Rs 12.77 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

Hi, I am looking to buy a 7-seater automatic between a budget of 13-15 Lakhs, mainly for city driving. What would experts suggest?
Given your requirements and budget, you should consider the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga. The Ertiga is powered by a 103hp, 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine that comes with a 6-speed torque converter automatic. The Ertiga petrol-auto has a claimed fuel efficiency of 20.3kpl. Furthermore, the cabin of this Maruti car is spacious, practical and flexible. Maruti Suzuki Ertiga petrol automatic prices range from Rs 11.20 lakh to Rs 12.95 lakh (ex-showroom, India).

Asked by: INDRAJIT DASon Jan 21, 2026
Please suggest the best 6/7-seater car with a stylish design, low maintenance costs, and high fuel efficiency, within a budget of Rs 15 lakh.
Keeping your priorities in mind, two good options are the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga and Maruti Suzuki XL6. Between the two, the XL6 will cost you roughly Rs 60,000 more for a comparable variant, but you get a more upmarket cabin and a slightly more stylish exterior. In your budget, the Ertiga ZXi and XL6 Zeta are good picks, as both come equipped with almost all the features youโre likely to need.
Another option worth considering is the Citroen Aircross X Turbo. It has a strong engine and offers excellent ride comfort, especially on bad roads. However, it wonโt match the Maruti duo in terms of fuel efficiency.

I want to buy a 7-seater car with a maximum budget of โน15 lakh. Please suggest the best option.
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.

Asked by: Praveen Pon Jan 14, 2026
Respected members, we are a family of five, and I want to buy an SUV. My driving will be about 70% city and 30% highway. I am looking for a car with good fuel economy and an automatic transmission. Which one should I buy, considering both 5-seater and 7-seater options?
Since you are a family of 5 and open to the idea of a 7-seater, we would recommend opting for a 7-seater, as every member of your family can sit in comfort. We would suggest you look at the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga or its sister car, the Toyota Rumion, as they offer a fairly spacious third row of seats and are powered by an efficient 1.5-litre petrol engine.
The ride is also very good, and at highway speeds, it's stable. Though over undulating roads, it does have some vertical movement at the rear, but it's never excessive.

Asked by: Saurabh Jainon Jan 14, 2026
Is there any news about the launch of a new Ertiga model in 2026? When is it expected to be launched?
A new Maruti Suzuki Ertiga is unlikely to be launched this year, but the next-gen model, which is likely to come with a hybrid option, isnโt due before 2028. It is likely, though, that Maruti Suzuki could give the existing Ertiga a few minor tweaks to keep it fresh until the new model arrives.

Asked by: Shivam singhon Jan 13, 2026
There are 7 to 8 members in my family. I am looking for a car within a budget of โน9-10 lakh. Please suggest suitable options.
In your Rs 10 lakh budget, the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga LXi is your best. It is quite spacious and can comfortably seat seven adults, and its 1.5-litre petrol engine is refined and efficient. Also, with light controls, good visibility, and smooth power delivery, this Maruti car is very user-friendly, too.
Another option is the Renault Triber, which is surprisingly spacious, despite its smaller dimensions. You'll also get more features with the Triber, in your budget, hence from a value point of view, it is a better option.
However, the Triber's 1.0-litre petrol engine doesn't feel as effortless as the Maruti's 1.5-litre. Its engine of this Renault car works best for sedate driving, but on the highway. It feels underpowered, especially with a full load of passengers. Hence, if you drive regularly on the highway, go for the Ertiga instead.
