If there is one category that is generating a lot of interest besides the SUVs, then it is the 7-seater cars in India. From being a category that rarely had any car, today it is buzzing with some of the hottest models on road.

Traditionally considered as a family carrier, a 7-seater is now witnessing a lot of action. Here are the top 5 cars that have brought about this change.

  • Renault Triber

At a time when 7-seater cars in India were considered as luxury, the Renault Triber came into the picture and became India’s favourite family car from the moment it was launched. Its revolutionary sub-4-meter length, modular seating that could turn the car from a 7-seater to a 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6-seater in seconds, premium features, ample leg-room for even adults in the last row were just a few reasons customers loved it. However, with a price starting at just Rs. 5.50 lakh* (Ex-Showroom Delhi) and a Global NCAP rating of 4-stars for adults and 3-star for kids acted as the cherry on top. These made the Triber not only the most economical 7-seater in India but also the safest of them all too!

  • Maruti Suzuki Ertiga

The next in line is the Ertiga. The Ertiga has created a strong customer base with its performance. Powered by a 1.5L engine, the Ertiga measures 4395 mm in length. With a starting price of Rs. 7.97 lakh* (Ex-Showroom Delhi), the Ertiga is perched strongly in its segment.

  • Hyundai Alcazar

Said to be the 7-seater version of the popular SUV Creta, the Alcazar is the latest 7-seater car in India. With two seating arrangements, 6-seater and 7-seater, it has started making its presence felt in the premium end of the segment. Alcazar’s price starts at Rs. 16.3 lakh* (Ex-Showroom Delhi).

  • Tata Safari

Earlier called the Gravitas, but then rechristened as the Safari, this 7-seater is powered by a 2L engine. It also comes loaded with premium features and a massive road presence. The Safari starts at Rs. 14.99 lakh* (Ex-Showroom Delhi) and is one of the latest to be launched on the Indian roads.

  • Toyota Innova

If there is one car that has defined the category for a long time, then it has to be the Innova. Powered by a 2.4L engine, the Innova still has a huge fan following even after the launch of so many competitors. With a price tag starting at Rs. 16.77 lakh* (Ex-Showroom Delhi), the Innova is still considered as one of the best known 7-seater cars in India.

7-seater cars in India are not just family carriers; they also come equipped with top-end features, provide superior comfort, and offer excellent safety to the occupants. These cars are also ideal for long-distance travel or when you have loads of luggage. Don't be surprised if this category emerges as the next battleground after SUVs!
