MPVs are a popular choice in India due to their ability to accommodate large families. For those seeking an affordable and practical MPV, here’s a list of options. These vehicles provide a blend of comfort and functionality.
**Renault Triber:** The Triber is an excellent choice for those needing three-row seating at a reasonable price. It uniquely combines practicality and user-friendliness.

Price: Rs 6.1 lakh to Rs 8.47 lakh.
**Suzuki Ertiga:** The Ertiga is a widely recognized MPV, offering a smooth and comfortable ride. It has a 1.5-liter petrol engine that generates 103 hp, making highway cruising comfortable. The middle-row seats fold, but do not tumble, making access to the third row a little difficult. The XL6, which is more premium, is only available in a 6-seater arrangement. Price range: Rs 8.84 lakh to Rs 13.13 lakh.
**Mahindra Bolero Neo:** The Bolero Neo is powered by a 1.5-liter diesel engine with 100 hp. It is a refined version of the standard Bolero, offering a more comfortable and modern interior.
