Asked by: Soham Sahaon Nov 26, 2025
I currently own a 2022 Baleno Zeta AGS and am very happy with its mileage, low maintenance, and ease of driving. I want to exchange it for a compact 7-seater thatโs easy to maneuver on Bangalore streets and also comfortable for long road trips. I recently drove the Renault Triber and liked its steering and ride quality. My budget is up to โน10 lakh- should I buy a new compact 7-seater or consider a good second-hand option?
Given your requirements and budget, you have two options. The Renault Triber is well-priced, genuinely practical, versatile and can accommodate up to seven passengers. But its 72hp, 1.0-litre petrol engine feels lethargic, especially when the car's fully loaded.
Alternatively, you could consider the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga. The Ertiga is more spacious, has a more powerful and refined engine and being a Maruti car, you'll also like the peace of mind it comes with. There are currently two Maruti Ertiga variants (LXi and VXi) that are priced below Rs 10 lakh (ex-showroom).

Asked by: R Chon Nov 25, 2025
Iโm looking for a reliable 7-seater automatic car within a โน17-22 lakh on-road budget. My annual running is about 5,000 km in the city. I need a smooth, safe, easy-to-handle petrol car with proven reliability and economical driving. Which automatic models would you recommend?
You have two options that fit your requirements - the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga and the Kia Carens Clavis. Both models come with smooth 1.5-litre petrol engines, though the Kia's is much more powerful (160hp vs Ertiga's 103hp) thanks to being turbocharged.
But on the flipside, the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga will be much more efficient. The Ertiga is also slightly smaller, which will make it easier to drive and being a Maruti car, you know it will be reliable too.

We are a family of five with one senior citizen. Occasionally, we go on long trips, but otherwise our daily usage is limited to a maximum of 10 km. We currently own a second-hand Celerio, but its suspension and long-distance comfort are not suitable for our 60+ family members. Please suggest whether we should go for a 5-seater or a 7-seater so that senior citizens can rest better during long trips. I am confused between buying a new Hyundai Venue or Tata Sierra, or going with the Ertiga. I also considered Kia, but my maximum budget is โน12 lakh on-road. Please suggest a new car.
Given your budget of Rs 12 lakh, your best bet is the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga. While it is a 7-seater, it will give you the flexibility of seating 5 more comfortably, with some room left for luggage on your occasional long trips.
The biggest advantage, however, is that the Ertiga's MPV body style means the floor is not as high off the ground as an SUV's, and therefore will make entry and exit easy for your senior citizen family members. Plus, it offers comfortable seating and ride quality, which should serve you well, whether in the city or out on the highway.

We are a family of six, including parents. We are looking for an affordable 7-seater under Rs 14 to 15 lakh. We donโt have daily usage but make regular trips to our hometown, around 400 to 600 km per month.
The best 7 seat options within your budget are the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga and Kia Carens Clavis. Both models are practical MPVs with comfortable seating for 7 passengers.
The Maruti Suzuki Ertiga is a sensible option and is cheaper to buy and maintain. Within your Rs 15 lakh budget, you could get a fully loaded Ertiga automatic, though the manual should meet your requirements.
The Kia Carens Clavis is more expensive than the Ertiga, but it is a superior product. It feels more upmarket and is more comfortable. Options to consider within your budget include the 1.5 petrol manual HTK and the 1.5 turbo-petrol in HTE(O). You get a few fewer features on the HTE(O), but the turbo-petrol's added power is something you'd appreciate on highway drives.

We are a family of six, and I am looking to buy a 7-seater manual SUV under 16 lakh. I prefer a body-on-frame design. My shortlisted options are the Scorpio Classic, Bolero Neo, and Bolero. Among these, please suggest the better choice for balanced city and highway use.
Among the three options on your shortlist, the Mahindra Scorpio Classic is the best option. It's got the most powerful engine of the three, which you will particularly appreciate on highway drives.
The Scorpio Classic S is the one that will fit your budget, but it comes with basic features. If you need more features, the Bolero Neo N10 packs in a fair bit.
It must be highlighted that all three options you are considering have side-facing third row seats. These are not as safe as front-facing seats, and we'd strongly advise against this configuration.

There isn't any body on frame alternative within your budget, but you should instead consider monocoque MPVs like the Kia Carens Clavis and Maruti Suzuki Ertiga.

Asked by: Dona Thomason Nov 12, 2025
Hello - this is my second car purchase and my first time buying for family needs. Iโm confused between the Hyundai Creta and the Maruti Brezza. My priorities: safety (I drive from Udupi to Bangalore once a month with my two kids), legroom (Iโm tall and my husband is 6'2"), and occasional travel with my in-laws. Our budget is within โน6.5 lakh. Are Creta or Brezza suitable, or are there other better options youโd suggest?
We would recommend you go with the Maruti Brezza. The car is smaller than the Creta; however, you would find a better condition and newer Brezza with the budget you have in mind. Also, the Brezza is among Maruti's better-built cars, and it fared well in the GNCAP crash tests. As an option, given that you do need to travel with your in-laws too, we would also suggest you look at a used 2nd-generation Maruti Ertiga. This MPV has more space in the 3rd row than the 1st generation car and should fit within your budget. It also secured a 3-star GNCAP crash rating and comes with a decent level of safety equipment.

Asked by: Debasis Sahooon Nov 11, 2025
Iโm a frequent reader of this section. Iโm looking for a car that can comfortably seat five people. My priorities are safety, fuel efficiency, and low maintenance. My budget is below โน10 lakh, and Iโm open to hatchbacks, sedans, or compact SUVs. Please suggest.
Given your requirement for seating five passengers, an SUV would be a good choice. Under โน10 lakh, the Mahindra Bolero Neo is a good option. This Mahindra car has a roomy cabin with good space for five and a frugal diesel engine that offers low running costs and low maintenance.
If not the Bolero Neo, you can check out the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, but beware, you will only get the base version under your budget, which will not be as well-equipped.

Asked by: Mohiton Nov 6, 2025
I need a 7-seater for my family of six, including two elderly members. My driving is light (about 200 km a week), but when I do drive, itโs mostly out of the station on hilly routes and long trips. I want a comfortable, reliable car for around 14 years. Please advise.
The Maruti Suzuki Ertiga will suit your needs the best. It offers a comfortable ride and a roomy seven-seat layout with easy access for the elderly. The engine has adequate power for long drives and hilly areas, and being a Maruti Suzuki car, itโs hassle-free to own as well.

Asked by: Anishon Nov 6, 2025
Please suggest a low-budget 7-seater SUV.
The most affordable 7-seater car currently available is the Renault Triber, though itโs technically an MPV. Since you want an SUV, the most affordable option will be the Citroen Aircross X.
The Citroen stands out for its innovative packaging (removable third-row seats), smooth turbo-petrol engine, and composed road manners. You could also consider the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga as an alternative.

Asked by: Rajanon Oct 30, 2025
Maximum budget โน8L to 10L. Third row space is a must. The Toyota brand is my first preference.
The Renault Triber is a well-packaged MPV with a good third row. Renault Triber price ranges between โน6.93 - โน10.01 Lakh in Chennai, which is within your budget. Your preferred option would be the Toyota Rumion, based on the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, but that starts at Rs 12 lakh on-road.
