Asked by: Dhiresh Brittoon Feb 19, 2026
I live in Bangalore and am looking to upgrade from my 2021 Ertiga ZXi+, which has run about 26,000km. I need the flexibility of three rows for different combinations of passengers and luggage, along with a petrol automatic transmission, cruise control, 360-degree camera, and high-quality interior trim, fit and finish. Balanced fuel economy is also important. I am not keen on large SUVs like the XUV700, Safari, Harrier, etc., and have ruled out two-row options like the Creta, as both boot space and passenger space are limited when carrying 5 or 6 adults. At the top of my list is the Hyundai Alcazar Signature turbo petrol DCT. I drive about 7,000km a year, 80% of which are long highway runs. I already have a Wagon R ZXi+ AT for short city trips. While I considered the XL6 seriously, I do not find it premium enough to be a true upgrade, though it is easier on the wallet to buy and maintain. I am looking for reassurance that the Alcazar will not be a bad buy, and to know if I may be missing out on other worthy contenders.
While the Hyundai Alcazar is a good SUV, it isn't the ideal pick for your needs. The Alcazar's third row is usable, but not the best. We feel the Kia Carens Clavis Turbo-DCT is a better match for you. It's got an upmarket interior that will feel like an upgrade from your Ertiga, and there are various features packed in.
What really furthers the Clavis' case, however, is its flexible seating. The middle row offers plenty of adjustment to maximise comfort or balance space for passengers in all three rows, as the case may be. Access to the third row is convenient, helped by the one-touch middle row fold and wide door aperture.
The Carens Clavis uses the same 160hp, 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine as the Alcazar and performance is well taken care of for your highway journeys.

Hi. I drive a 2014 Ertiga diesel. I am 66 years old and wondering which vehicle I should change to. My current driving is about 250-300km of city driving per month and one outstation trip of about 200km once every three months. I am now looking for a 5-seater with ample boot space. Can you suggest a suitable option?
Without knowing your budget, it's hard to pinpoint exactly which car to recommend to you. However, given you're looking to upgrade from a 12-year-old Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, and given your requirements, we would recommend the MG Hector.
It's not a particularly flashy or exciting car, but when it comes to space for five, comfort and practicality, it is the best in its segment. The biggest highlight is its 587-litre boot, which is huge for the segment, and on top of that, it is incredibly comfortable as well.
If you don't mind a manual gearbox, the 2.0-litre diesel is strong and relatively efficient. If you want an automatic, however, you have to choose the petrol CVT, which is not very fuel efficient, but then your usage is quite low, so perhaps it won't be that much of an issue.

Asked by: Arpan Chakrabortyon Feb 10, 2026
I want to purchase my first car, the Ertiga ZXi MT, for my family. Will it be value for money, or should I go for the ZXi+ MT? Also, I need your suggestion on how to deal with dealers during negotiations.
The Maruti Suzuki Ertiga is a good family car, and the ZXi MT is quite well-equipped. For an increment of Rs 80,000 (approximately), the ZXI+ variant gets additional kits like cruise control, reverse camera, and auto headlamps, among others. So, if you don't mind skipping these few features, the ZXI variant is a better value.
When it comes to negotiating with dealers, the key is to be well-informed and patient (don't rush into a deal). Approach multiple dealers, even if they're away from your place of residence. Understand what each of them is offering. Certain dealers might have the exact colour, variant in stock, hence they would be willing to negotiate more than others. Also, research online to find the best price for insurance, and ask the dealer to match it.

I have a 10-year-old Hyundai Grand i10 and want to upgrade to a 7-seater. I am confused between the Mahindra Scorpio-N and the Tata Safari. My budget is โน15 lakh. Please advise.
Unfortunately, neither the Mahindra Scorpio N nor the Tata Safari is available in your budget of Rs 15 lakh, as even their base models start at around Rs 17 lakh, on road.
Instead, we recommend the Kia Carens Clavis, which is a surprisingly spacious and capable 6- or 7-seater. Quality levels are very high, there are good features on offer, and there are plenty of engine and gearbox options to choose from.
In your budget, you can go up to the HTE variant, with a choice of 1.5 petrol, 1.5 turbo petrol or 1.5 diesel engines. However, you can only have them with the manual gearbox; the automatic is out of your budget.
You could also consider the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, which is an even better value for money.

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: Allwyn Lon Feb 8, 2026
Iโm looking to buy a new car within a budget of a maximum of โน12-13 lakh. My daily commute to the office is approximately 20km, and sometimes I use my motorcycle as well. So, I usually commute by car about three days a week. Please suggest a car suitable for daily city use and occasional long drives of around 1,500km (to Goa), maybe 3-4 times a year. I need ample luggage space, good suspension, comfortable rear seats for elderly parents, and an efficient, reliable car with relaxed and worry-free ownership. I am considering the Kia Carens Clavis, Ertiga, or anything else that meets my needs. Please suggest an automatic, but not the AMT offered by Maruti.
Considering all your requirements, we would recommend the Maruti Suzuki XL6, which is essentially a more premium version of the Ertiga. The XL6 will offer captain seats at the rear, which your parents would find more comfortable than the bench setup in the Ertiga. It also has a more premium look and feel inside.
The ride is also comfortable, and the 1.5-litre petrol engine is efficient and paired to a torque converter gearbox which is far smoother than an AMT. The XL6 does not feel lively and peppy, and its setup is more for calm and relaxed driving, but it meets your requirements for good luggage space and worry-free ownership.
At you budget, you would get a mid-spec variant which would be equipped with all of the essentials like a touchscreen music system and automatic climate control. We would rule out the Kia Carens as it is only available with a manual option and in a lower trim. Its replacement, the Carnes Clavis, offers the automatic option; however, prices start at Rs 16 lakh.

Asked by: Allwynon Feb 2, 2026
I currently own a Maruti Ritz and want to upgrade to a new car, preferably a 7-seater. However, my budget is as low as possible, and I want a value-for-money product with a proper automatic that is reliable for years. I want a practical car that has all the necessary features, excluding a sunroof. I want a car with good ride quality, easy maintenance and strong safety. I am open to all options except the Renault Duster. I am even open to a 5-seater, but want a massive boot space.
You should consider the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga. It's a spacious and practical 7-seater MPV, and it has a comfortable ride quality. The Ertiga also comes with a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox with its 103hp, 1.5-litre petrol engine.
The Ertiga also gets all the necessary features like a touchscreen, auto climate control, rear camera, alloy wheels and more. Being a Maruti car, it will also be reliable and easy to maintain. Maruti Ertiga petrol-auto prices range from Rs 11.20 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).
