It is no secret that SUVs are dominating the Indian car market, which is evident from the strong rise of Mahindra. There is also an increase in demand for 3-row SUVs, and most brands are now preparing to launch India-centric 7-seater SUVs in the next couple of years. Here is a list of upcoming new 7-seater SUVs in the country in the 2026 and 2027.

Renault has confirmed that it will launch an all-new 3-row SUV based on the CMF-B modular platform in India. It is basically the 7-seater version of the Dacia Bigster or Renault Boreal, which are available in global markets as 5-seater SUVs. The SUV will take on the likes of the Tata Safari, Mahindra XUV700 and the Hyundai Alcazar.
It is likely to be powered by a 1.3L turbocharged petrol engine paired to either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DCT. The SUV will also receive a hybrid version at a later stage.

Mahindra will give the XUV700 a mid-life update before the end of this year. The Mahindra XUV700 facelift will receive cosmetic design changes, including a revised front grille, updated bumpers and a slightly updated headlamp unit. Big changes will be made inside the cabin, as it will get the XEV 9e-like triple screen dashboard.
Some of the key additions will include auto dimming IRVM, second-row ventilated seats, front parking sensors and a new music system with DOLBY ATMOS tech. The SUV will continue to be powered by the 2.0L turbo petrol and 2.2L turbo diesel engine. Transmission options will include a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed torque converter automatic.
