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.

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.
