Like the Alcazar, the Tata Safari is also just months old in the market and it has already become fairly popular. In fact, this too is the three-row version of the existing Tata Harrier. Unlike the Alcazar, the Safari only comes with a 2.0-litre diesel motor, mated to a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission. The Safari is priced between Rs. 14.99 lakh and Rs. 21.81 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

MG Hector Plus

The MG Hector Plus also comes in the same category as the Alcazar and Safari, as this too is based on the brand's 5-seater model, which in this case is the Hector. The features are pretty much identical, and it also gets the same 1.5-litre petrol and 2.0-litre diesel engines mated to a 6-speed manual and 7-speed DCT automatic option. The Hector Plus is priced at Rs. 13.62 lakh to Rs. 19.80 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

Mahindra XUV500

The  Mahindra XUV500 has been the oldest player in this segment, and one of the most popular 7-seater SUVs in the market. While it will be replaced this year with the new XUV700, it's still on sale. Currently, it's powered by the tried and tested 2.2-litre mHawk diesel engine mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox and a 6-speed automatic transmission. The XUV500 is priced from Rs. 14.15 lakh to Rs. 20 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

Jeep Compass

The Jeep Compass is not a three-row SUV, however, it's possible one of the most features rich SUVs in this segment and a very capable one as well. In fact, it's the only SUV that comes with an all-wheel-drive (AWD) system as well. The SUV is powered by a 1.4-litre Multi-air petrol and a 2.0-litre Multi-jet diesel engine, while transmission choices include - a 6-speed manual, a 9-speed torque converter and a 7-speed DCT automatic unit. The Compass is priced between Rs. 17.19 lakh to Rs. 28.49 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

Toyota Innova Crysta

Yes, the Innova Crysta is not an SUV, however, if it's a three-row vehicle that you need and the other option don't suit your requirements, then this one just might. The Innova Crysta is one of the more feature-rich MPVs in India and coupled with Toyota's reliable after-sales service, it's a total value for money package. It's offered in both petrol and diesel engine options, powered by a 2.7-litre engine and a 2.4-litre engine respectively. Transmission options include a 5-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic unit. The Innova Crysta is priced between Rs. 16.11 lakh to Rs. 24.59 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
