   Based on the Ertiga, the XL6 should also be considered minus one seat. As the name suggests Maruti Suzuki XL6 gets seats only for 6 passengers. Two front, Two in the middle with captain seats and Two in the last row of seats. But isn’t XL6 a little more expensive than the Ertiga?

5. Kia Carens
   

   

   We’ll be honest, it was Kia Carens that triggered us to pitch us the list of all the vehicles that this MPV rivals. Being the latest entry it is a little sceptical to pass a judgement. But considering Kia’s record in India, Carens is expected to be comfortable and a reliable vehicle in the long run.
