7 Seater Cars in India 2026: Cheapest Variant of Each

24 cars we track seat seven, across 192 seven-seat variants. The seat count comes from each manufacturer’s own brochure or variant list, not from the body style, so MPVs and SUVs sit side by side below. The cheapest is the Nissan Gravite Visia at ₹5,73,400 ex-showroom. That is the cheapest of the cars we track, not of every seven-seater sold in India: our catalogue does not hold every model on sale.

The Maruti XL6 seats six rather than seven, with captain chairs in the second row, so it is not in the tables below. It starts at ₹11,62,300 ex-showroom.

Six- and eight-seat versions of these cars are not in our data at all — a seat count is not equipment, and where a car is sold both ways we hold the seven-seater. So a seven-seater here seats seven on every variant we list.

Seven seats and six airbags start at ₹5,73,400 ex-showroom, on the Nissan Gravite Visia. On 19 of the 21 cars that offer them, six airbags come on the cheapest seven-seat variant; on the other 2 you have to move up a variant or more. No variant of the Mahindra Bolero, the Mahindra Bolero Neo and the Mahindra Scorpio Classic has six airbags.

Without a clutch pedal, seven seats start at ₹7,95,000 ex-showroom on the Nissan Gravite N-Connecta petrol AMT. 19 of the 24 seven-seaters offer an automatic on at least one seven-seat variant; the Mahindra Bolero, the Mahindra Bolero Neo, the Citroën Aircross X, the Mahindra Scorpio Classic and the Toyota Innova Crysta are manual only.

3 seven-seaters are sold with a factory CNG kit: the Maruti Ertiga, the Toyota Rumion and the Kia Carens Clavis. A CNG cylinder takes boot space, so check what is left behind the third row before you buy one. The Kia Carens Clavis has no certified CNG efficiency published, so we show none rather than borrow the petrol figure.

A starting price says nothing about what it buys. The table below totals the equipment we price on each car’s cheapest seven-seat variant — valued on one scale for every car, each feature at its single published base valuation, rather than on each car’s own segment scale. These cars span 4 of our segments, and adding up each on its own scale would measure them against different yardsticks. It is a measure of kit, not a verdict on the car, and it says nothing about the engine, the ride or the third row.

The Nissan Gravite Visia carries ₹50,000 of the equipment we price; the Renault Triber Authentic, ₹7,475 dearer, carries ₹57,000.

Prices are ex-showroom Delhi. Road tax and registration add a great deal and differ by state — work out the figure where you live on the on-road price calculator. Nothing here scores the engine, ride, reliability or how usable a third row really is. Electric seven-seaters are included — the Kia Carens Clavis EV, the MG Hector Tomahawk EV, the Mahindra XEV 9S and the BYD eMax 7 — priced ex-showroom like the rest.
