Maruti Suzuki Ertiga to Renault Triber: Three most value-for-money MPVs in India under ₹15 lakh

The Indian car market has been witnessing a significant transition in consumer preference over the last couple of years. Gone are the days when consumers used to prefer hatchbacks, and the small cars used to be the driving force of the Indian passenger vehicle market. Over the last couple of years, utility vehicles, including SUVs and MPVs, have been finding an ever-increasing demand. This transition is in sync with the global market. (Also read: Upcoming cars in India) While SUVs have become the driving force of the Indian passenger vehicle market, MPVs too have been sustainably seeing high demand. This has propelled several carmakers to launch their respective products in this segment. Here is a list of the three most popular MPVs that come priced under ₹ 15 lakh and offer the most value-for-money. Maruti Suzuki Ertiga has been the bestselling MPV in the Indian passenger vehicle market for quite a long time. Sold through the car manufacturer's Arena retail network, the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga comes priced from ₹ 9 lakh (ex-showroom). This spacious and practical three-row MPV is widely popular among private buyers as well as in the fleet segment. While the petrol engine with SHVS technology enhances its appeal, the availability of a petrol-CNG bi-fuel powertrain offers enhanced cost efficiency for the vehicle. The seven-seater MPV is one of the best-selling and most value-for-money offerings in the segment. Interestingly, under the Suzuki-Toyota global partnership, the Toyota Rumion is basically a rebadged iteration of the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, which offers similar features. The Renault Triber is one of the most affordable seven-seater cars in India. Available at a starting price of about ₹ 6 lakh, the Renault Triber is sold alongside its siblings, Kwid and Kiger. The Renault Triber is available with a 1.0-litre petrol engine, while the transmission choices include a manual gearbox as well as an AMT unit. Renault has recently introduced a CNG option to this MPV, which further enhances its practicality and value-for-money quotient.

Renault, Volkswagen, Skoda continue to struggle to boost sales in India

European mass market automotive brands Renault, Volkswagen, and Skoda continue to struggle to enhance presence in the Indian market, witnessing sales decline in the last three financial years, industry data showed. According to data by JATO Dynamics, a leading provider of data and analytics to the global automotive industry, Renault saw the biggest sales dip in India to 37,900 units in 2024-2025 from 45,439 units in 2023-2024, and 78,926 units in 2022-2023. Similarly, Skoda's sales in India in 2024-2025 were at 44,866 units, marginally higher from 44,522 units in 2023-2024, but down from 52,269 units in 2022-2023. On the other hand, the Volkswagen brand posted sales of 42,230 units in 2024-25, down from 43,197 units in 2023-2024. The brand had clocked sales of 41,263 units in 2022-2023. "Renault, Skoda, and Volkswagen faced several headwinds in India despite their tenure," JATO Dynamics India President Ravi G Bhatia told PTI. Explaining why these brands have struggled in India, he said, "Initially, these brands focused heavily on sedans -- Vento, Rapid, and Scala -- which limited their exposure to the fast-expanding SUV segment." Simultaneously, Bhatia said, "They were slower in refreshing product lines, with many models remaining unchanged over extended periods. Network reach has also remained narrow, particularly in Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets, restricting access to a broader audience." Adding to the woes of these brands is "India's unique tax structure, where sub-4-metre vehicles benefit from significantly lower levies". "This has favoured Japanese and Korean OEMs known for cost-effective compact cars. European brands, by contrast, traditionally build larger models and have struggled to deliver competitive offerings within this constraint," Bhatia noted. Under the current policy, passenger vehicles (petrol, CNG, LPG) up to 4 metres in length and up to 1200cc engine attract GST of 28 per cent and 1 per cent compensation cess. Passenger vehicles (diesel) up to 4 metres in length and up to 1500 cc engine is levied 28 per cent GST and 3 per cent compensation cess. Passenger vehicles of length above 4 metre and engine capacity 1500 cc attract 28 per cent GST and cess of 17 per cent, while those above 1500 cc engine size attract 28 per cent GST and cess of 17 per cent. On the other hand, passenger vehicles, popularly known as SUVs -- above 4 metres in length, above 1,500cc engine and more than 170 mm in ground clearance -- attract 28 per cent GST with 22 per cent compensation cess. Bhatia noted that while domestic OEMs like Tata and Mahindra lead by Japanese Maruti Suzuki have captured market share through high localisation, frequent product launches, and early adoption of alternative fuel engines including CNG, hybrids and BEVs, the European players have lagged in electric and hybrid offerings. However, he said, "There are signs of course correction. Skoda, for instance, recently launched the Kylaq, a subcompact SUV tailored for India." On the path forward for these European brands, he said it "may lie in leveraging India for exports and R&D while focusing on under-4-metre, cost-competitive platforms". With such realignments, sustainable growth is possible, he added.
