Three Mahindra XUV700 and Tata Safari rivals coming to the Indian market in the next two years, all priced competitively from under 20 lakh rupees (ex-showroom)
Seven-seat SUV options under 20 lakh rupees (ex-showroom) are quite limited in India at the moment. Renault, Nissan, and Hyundai are developing new three-row models for this segment, with the first of the new three-row SUVs scheduled to arrive within a year. Here’s what we know about them so far:
1. Renault Boreal
Renault’s new three-row SUV planned for India is expected to be the Boreal, which the company unveiled in July. Heavily based on Dacia’s Bigster, and thus closely related to the India-bound third-gen Duster shared by the two European brands, the Boreal is 4,556 mm long, 1,841 mm wide, and 1,650 mm tall. It has a 2,702 mm wheelbase and a 213 mm ground clearance.

The Boreal features a bold yet elegant exterior, in what is unarguably the most sophisticated design we’ve seen on a Renault SUV engineered for emerging markets. Its classy interior similarly sets a new internal benchmark. Renault equips the Boreal with features like 19-inch alloy wheels, a panoramic sunroof, a massage driver’s seat, 10-inch cockpit displays, a 48-colour ambient lighting system, and 24 advanced driver assistance systems.
Renault will likely launch the Boreal with a 1.3-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine and hybrid powertrain based on a larger engine in our market. The company began testing its upcoming three-row SUV in India in mid-2025 and will likely launch it in Q4 2026.
2. Nissan 3-Row SUV
Nissan will launch a corporate cousin of Renault’s upcoming three-row SUV in Q1 2027. In the same way it gave the Tekton a unique character to strongly distinguish it from Renault’s Duster, it will likely design a visibly different exterior for its seven-seat SUV. From the headlights to the grille, bumpers, wheels, and decor elements, almost everything, barring the core structure, should look different.
Inside, the dashboard, steering wheel, center console, door cards, and seats should carry a distinctive design, although the feature set should largely be the same. Most specifications will likely mirror the Renault model.

3. Hyundai 3-Row SUV
Hyundai is developing a new three-row SUV codenamed ‘Ni1i’ and plans to launch it in 2027. Unlike the Alcazar, which is just an extension of the Creta, the Ni1i will be a larger model conceived as a three-row SUV from the outset and measure approximately 4.7 metres like Mahindra’s XUV700. This seven-seat SUV will be one of the eight models Hyundai plans to launch with a hybrid powertrain by March 2030.
