Best 7-Seater MUVs Under ₹25 Lakh in India (2026)

Eight MUVs in India offer a genuine 7-seat layout at or near ₹25 lakh. The Nissan Gravite (₹5.73 lakh) and Renault Triber (₹6.29 lakh) sit at the bottom of the range, the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga (₹8.90 lakh to ₹13.04 lakh) and Toyota Rumion (₹9.56 lakh to ₹14.21 lakh) cover the middle, the Kia Carens Clavis (₹11.39 lakh to ₹21.79 lakh) is the cheapest way into Level 2 ADAS, and the Toyota Innova Crysta (from ₹19.72 lakh), Toyota Innova Hycross (from ₹19.15 lakh, 22.16 kmpl as a hybrid) and Maruti Suzuki Invicto (from ₹24.97 lakh) occupy the top end.

MUV and MPV mean the same thing in India, both refer to the same body-style classification used by manufacturers and listing sites alike. This list sticks to that category specifically, which means 7-seater SUVs aren't covered here. They're a genuinely different body style with their own comparison to make elsewhere.

Here are eight MUVs that offer a real 7-seat configuration, each with that configuration priced at or reasonably close to 25 lakh.

Key takeaways:

• Lowest entry price for a 7-seat layout: Gravite, Triber
• Best fuel economy: Innova Hycross and Invicto, both 22.16 kmpl on the shared 2.0-litre strong hybrid
• Most premium 7-seat experience: Invicto, right at the edge of this budget
• Most flexible seating, removable third row: Triber, Gravite

Maruti Suzuki figures for the Ertiga and the Invicto are the ARAI-certified numbers printed in each model's own brochure. Toyota, Kia, Renault and Nissan either block automated access to their brochures or do not print ARAI mileage in them, so the Innova Crysta, Innova Hycross, Rumion, Carens Clavis, Triber and Gravite numbers are our own and are worth confirming with a dealer before you buy.

Conclusion

Seven-seat MUVs under 25 lakh cover a genuinely wide range in India, from sub-10-lakh options with removable third rows to a hybrid flagship sitting right at the ceiling. Engine type, safety kit, and how much comfort the third row actually gets all vary considerably within that budget, so it's worth checking the specific 7-seat trim rather than the model's starting price before you decide.
