Starting price is not the whole range. Each model starts below 7-Seater under ₹15 L ex-showroom. The ranges above include higher trims that can cost considerably more, and exclude registration, road tax and insurance.
Read the rating in context. *Global NCAP results refer to the tested variant and protocol, not every trim on sale. "Not listed" means no result has been published for that model, which is not the same as a poor one.

7-Seater Cars Under ₹15 Lakh FAQs
The questions buyers ask most about this list, answered from current on-sale data.
Which is the most popular 7-seater car under ₹15 lakh in India?
The Mahindra Scorpio N is among the best-selling 7-seater cars under ₹15 lakh, valued for its running cost, features and service network. Other strong sellers in this list are Mahindra Scorpio Classic and Maruti Suzuki Ertiga.
Which is the cheapest 7-seater car under ₹15 lakh?
The Nissan Gravite is the most affordable, starting at ₹5.73 lakh ex-showroom. On-road price is higher: registration, road tax and insurance typically add 10–15% depending on your state.
Which 7-seater car under ₹15 lakh gives the best mileage?
The Maruti Suzuki Ertiga claims the highest ARAI figure at 20.51 kmpl, followed by the Toyota Rumion at 20.51 kmpl. These are certified test figures, and real-world mileage is usually lower.
Which is the safest 7-seater car under ₹15 lakh?
The Mahindra Scorpio N, Tata Safari and Mahindra XUV 7XO carry the best crash-test result here: 5 stars, though under different programmes (Global NCAP, Bharat NCAP), and results are not directly comparable across them. Check the variant you pick, as airbag count and ESC can differ by trim.
Are there any CNG 7-seater cars under ₹15 lakh?
Yes. Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, Kia Carens and Renault Triber offer a factory CNG option, 6 models in all. Factory-fitted CNG keeps the warranty intact and costs noticeably less per kilometre than petrol, though boot space shrinks because of the cylinder.

On-road price is the ex-showroom price plus RTO registration, road tax, insurance and any handling charge, which adds roughly 10–15% and varies by state. Tap any price in the table above to switch it to your city, or see the full break-up on the Mahindra Scorpio N page.
