The rise of electric vehicles in India is not just limited to compact models. As the demand for spacious family vehicles grows, several automakers are gearing up to introduce 7-seater electric SUVs and MPVs to cater to this need. This shift marks a significant transition towards larger electric options for Indian families seeking practicality and eco-friendliness.
Prominent manufacturers like Tata Motors, Maruti Suzuki, Toyota, and VinFast are leading the charge with plans to launch new electric models by 2027. These upcoming vehicles promise to deliver premium features, extended driving ranges, and ample space for families.
Here’s an overview of some notable 7-seater electric vehicles expected to hit the Indian market soon.
Tata Safari EV
Tata Motors is expanding its electric SUV offerings with the much-anticipated Safari EV. Expected to debut during the festive season, this model aims to retain the iconic Safari design while incorporating EV-specific elements such as a closed grille, aerodynamic wheels, and updated LED lighting.
The Safari EV is set to be Tata’s inaugural three-row electric SUV, featuring amenities like ventilated seats, a panoramic sunroof, leatherette upholstery, and a triple-screen setup inspired by the Sierra EV concept. Potential battery configurations include 65 kWh and 75 kWh packs, with the larger option offering a range exceeding 620 km. Higher trims may also feature an all-wheel-drive setup.

Maruti Suzuki YMC
Maruti Suzuki is preparing to introduce its first electric MPV, tentatively named the YMC. Built on the eVitara platform, this model is anticipated to launch by late 2026. Larger than the Ertiga, it aims to attract families looking for a spacious electric vehicle.
The YMC could be available in both 5-seater and 7-seater variants, offering features like captain seats, a large touchscreen infotainment system, a panoramic glass roof, Level 2 ADAS, wireless charging, connected car technology, ventilated seats, and a 360-degree camera. It is expected to share battery options with the eVitara, with the larger 61 kWh battery providing a range of up to 543 km.
Toyota’s Version of the YMC
Toyota plans to launch its own iteration of the Maruti YMC electric MPV. While sharing the same platform and powertrain options, Toyota is likely to redesign the exterior, giving the vehicle a unique identity. This electric MPV will contribute to Toyota’s growing EV portfolio in India, particularly in the family car segment.
Tata Avinya X
Tata Motors is also developing the Avinya X, a high-end electric crossover available in 5-, 6-, and 7-seater configurations. Showcased in a near-production form, the Avinya X is expected to offer a premium experience with advanced features and cutting-edge cabin technology not yet seen in Tata’s lineup.
The crossover is projected to measure nearly 5 meters in length, promising a completely new level of luxury and innovation.
