The Indian SUV market has grown extensively in the last few years. Tata launched their signature SUV, Safari, and Mahindra introduced the ultimate XUV700, whereas Hyundai launched Alcazar. We have had compact & mid-sized SUVs booming into the market with bigger 7-seater versions too.
But which of these cars have a comfortable third row?
-
Innova
While talking about comfortable 7-seaters, Innova is undoubtedly the first candidate that pops into our head. It has been cruising on our roads since 2005, and still, it does not fail to impress us.

Since the launch, the next candidate on our list is more affordable and has been ruling the MUV segment. Ertiga just got a facelift with a new transmission and still has a waiting period which can even go upto 6-months for the CNG variants.
