Are you someone who is planning to buy a 7-seater SUV in the next 6 months? Well, if you are, then we have some good news for you. Here is the list of the 5 new 7-seater SUVs that will be launched in India in the coming 6 months. So, without any delay, let’s jump right into their details.
Starting in January 2027, the first new 7-seater SUV will be launched in India. It will be none other than the Tata Safari.ev. The test mules of this particular electric SUV have already been spotted testing on Indian roads multiple times. The Safari.ev, once launched, will become the brand’s flagship electric SUV and will be offered in both 6-seater and 7-seater configurations.
Speaking of the design, the Safari.ev will look very similar to the regular diesel-powered Safari. However, it will get EV-specific styling elements, including a closed-off grille, aerodynamic alloy wheels and exclusive badges. The interior could also get a triple-screen dashboard layout, panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats and Level 2 ADAS.
Mechanically, the Safari.ev is expected to get the same 65 kWh and 75 kWh battery packs as the Harrier.ev. However, reports suggest that Tata could also offer a larger 80 kWh battery pack. Both RWD and AWD variants are expected. For reference, the Harrier.ev offers a claimed range of up to 627 km. The Safari.ev could be priced between Rs 20 lakh and Rs 32 lakh (ex-showroom).
Next up is the Renault Boreal. For those who may not be aware, Renault is currently developing a new three-row SUV based on the recently launched Duster. Just a few days ago, a heavily camouflaged test mule of this SUV was spotted undergoing high-altitude testing in Ladakh.
Now, Boreal is the name used for Renault’s international SUV. However, the company has not confirmed whether the Indian model will get the same name. As for the design, the upcoming SUV has been seen with a boxy appearance, a tall bonnet, chunky wheel arches and prominent roof rails. The test mule also revealed front parking sensors and a large rear quarter glass.
Moving to the mechanical details, this SUV is expected to use Renault’s RGMP platform. It could get the Duster’s 1.3-litre turbo-petrol engine and a 1.8-litre strong hybrid powertrain. Manual and automatic gearbox options are also expected. Its India launch will most likely take place sometime in 2027.
The third SUV on this list is the next-generation Toyota Fortuner. Now, this particular SUV needs no introduction in India. It has been one of the most popular full-size ladder-frame SUVs for years. However, after almost a decade, Toyota is finally getting ready to give it a major update.
According to reports, the new Fortuner will make its global debut on December 1, 2026, in South Africa. Its India launch is expected in 2027. The SUV has already been spotted testing in Thailand and will get a redesigned front fascia inspired by the latest Hilux.
At the front, it could get slimmer LED headlamps, a larger grille and a muscular bumper. And on the inside, Toyota is expected to offer a new dashboard with a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. A panoramic sunroof and Level 2 ADAS are also being reported to be part of the updated feature list.
Mechanically, the Fortuner is expected to retain its 2.8-litre turbo-diesel engine with 48V mild-hybrid technology and the 2.7-litre petrol engine. Both 4×2 and 4×4 variants are expected to continue, as in the current model. Prices could range between Rs 38 lakh and Rs 52 lakh (ex-showroom).
Another new 7-seater SUV coming to India is from Nissan. This particular SUV will be based on the same CMF-B platform as the recently launched Tekton. However, Nissan has stated that it will be a different product rather than simply an extended Tekton.
Recently, the upcoming SUV was spotted testing with a longer rear quarter panel and larger rear quarter glass. It also gets inverted L-shaped LED DRLs at the front. At the rear, the SUV features boomerang-shaped LED tail-lamps connected by a thick light bar.
The cabin is expected to offer a 5+2 seating layout. Mechanically, it could get the 1.3-litre turbo-petrol engine with 6-speed manual and 6-speed DCT gearbox options. The SUV is expected to launch in 2027. And its prices will range between Rs 18 lakh and Rs 22 lakh (ex-showroom).
Last on this list is the Mahindra Scorpio-N facelift. Recently, the updated version of this popular SUV was spotted testing for the first time. The biggest highlight of this test mule was its redesigned front fascia. It appears to take inspiration from the Scorpio Lifestyler pickup.
The updated Scorpio-N could get slimmer headlamps, a larger grille and redesigned bumpers. Apart from this, Mahindra could also offer a more modern interior with a larger touchscreen infotainment system, digital instrument cluster and additional features.
As for the engines, the Scorpio-N facelift is expected to continue with the existing 2.0-litre turbo-petrol and 2.2-litre turbo-diesel engines. Manual and automatic transmissions will most likely also continue. The diesel-powered 4WD variants are also expected to remain the same.
