New Renault Triber Makes India Debut; Launched At Rs 6.29 Lakh

Renault has unveiled the new Triber for the Indian market with prices for the subcompact MPV starting from Rs 6.29 lakh (ex-showroom). In comparison, prices for the outgoing Triber started at Rs 6.14 lakh (ex-showroom). The launch marks the first comprehensive upgrade for the Triber, which was originally launched in India back in 2019. The new Triber is offered in four trim levels - Authentic, Evolution, Techno and Emotion. Full prices are as follows:

AMT option costs an additional Rs 52,000 on the Emotion trim.

Starting with the design, the new Triber retains the silhouette of the outgoing model replete with the stepped roof design to free-up additional headroom in the rear. The big changes come to the front fascia which gets a new layered design with a new rectangular grille with 3D design elements, new headlamps, a flatter sculpted bonnet and a chunkier front bumper with a large central airvent, faux side vents and low set fog lamps.

In profile, just the wheel designs are new, with the Triber continuing to feature Flex wheels (steel wheels with covers styled to look like alloys) in place of alloy wheels. While around the back, the tail lamps get revised internals with new LED lighting elements and is connected via a black applique. The Triber badging has been moved lower down on the tailgate, while the rear bumper gets a more squared-off design to add some muscle to the overall design. Buyers can pick from three colours for the new Triber - Amber Terracota, Shadow Grey and Zanskar Blue.

Moving to the cabin, the Triber now makes use of lighter tone plastics, while the centre console also gets a redesign. The central air vents have been moved lower down on the fascia with the touchscreen - now a freestanding unit - positioned above. A lot of the switchgear also looks to be unchanged, with Renault also retaining the small shelf at the base of the centre console. The seats also feature lighter fabrics to aid in the cabin feeling roomy. As before, the cabin features three rows of seating with the third row capable of being folded down or completely removed to free up space.

On the feature front, the new Triber gets key additions such as LED projector headlamps and fog lamps, auto headlamps, 8.0-inch touchscreen with wireless smartphone integration, rain-sensing wipers, cruise control and front parking sensors. On the safety side, 6 airbags, ESP and tyre pressure monitoring are now standard.

Under the skin, little has changed compared to the outgoing Triber with the familiar 1.0-litre, three-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine carried over. The unit continues to push out 71 bhp and 96 Nm of torque and is offered with either a 5-speed manual gearbox or a 5-speed AMT. The new Triber also retains the option for a dealer-fitted CNG kit.
