Four seven-seater cars under Rs 9 lakh have been compared on price, engine and safety. The Nissan Gravite starts at Rs 5.73 lakh, followed by the Renault Triber at Rs 5.81 lakh, the Mahindra Bolero at Rs 8.49 lakh and the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga at Rs 8.85 lakh. All prices are ex-showroom. The Gravite and Triber share a 1.0-litre petrol engine with manual or AMT options. The Bolero runs on a diesel engine, while the Ertiga offers petrol, automatic and factory CNG choices. Safety kit varies: the Gravite and Ertiga get six airbags as standard, the Triber has a four-star Global NCAP rating for an older two-airbag version, and the Bolero has dual airbags.


The usual narrative pits diesel muscle against petrol thrift, but this comparison shows buyers face harder trade-offs. The Bolero’s body-on-frame diesel is tough but lacks modern safety kit, while the Ertiga offers six airbags as standard. The Triber’s four-star rating applies only to an older two-airbag version, not today’s six-airbag car. The Gravite matches safety features at a lower price. Which of these four will score a five-star Global NCAP rating? That number would settle the safety debate.
