Every Three-Row SUV You Can Buy Under Rs 10 Lakh

Three-row SUVs are becoming a go-to choice for growing families seeking space, versatility, and value. These vehicles offer seating for seven or more, blending practicality with modern features for daily commutes, school runs, and weekend getaways. 

This article breaks down the two options you can get under ₹10 lakh ex-showroom, focusing on their powertrain performance, third-row usability, and key safety highlights. 

Mahindra Bolero

The Mahindra Bolero remains a rugged workhorse for budget-conscious buyers seeking basic three-row utility. 

It is powered by a 1.5-litre mHawk75 turbo-diesel engine producing 75 bhp and 210 Nm of torque, paired with a five-speed manual transmission for low-speed torque in tough conditions. 

Its third row consists of foldable jump seats that prioritise cargo space over comfort, making it practical for short trips with kids or light loads but less ideal for adults on long drives due to limited legroom and cushioning. 

Safety features include dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, and a rear parking sensor for basic protection.

Mahindra Bolero Neo (N4 - N11)

The Mahindra Bolero Neo steps up from the standard Bolero with a more feature-packed and refined setup, while still maintaining its typical rugged characteristics. 

It runs on a 1.5-litre mHawk100 three-cylinder turbo-diesel engine delivering 99 bhp and 260 Nm of torque for strong performance. The engine is mated to a five-speed manual gearbox. 

Third-row seating offers better access than the Bolero with dedicated sideways-facing benches for two. Though these seats are best used for short intercity trips, as there are no seatbelts here, and space is tight for taller passengers. These seats can be removed or folded to free up to 690 litres of boot volume. 

Standard safety covers dual airbags, ABS with EBD, and a seatbelt reminder system to keep things simple yet effective. Top-end variants add rear parking sensors and a camera.
