Renault Triber pros and cons — Practical 7-seater, but lacks the punch

There are a decent number of options for 6 and 7-seater cars when we look at budget segments like the sub-Rs 10 and sub-Rs 15 lakh bracket, with key contenders being the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, Kia Carens, and the Renault Triber. The Triber often comes up to be the most value for money amongst this lot, thanks to its attractive pricing and thoughtful packaging. Here are the key Renault Triber pros and cons that we believe you should consider before making a buying decision.

Top Renault Triber pros

Spacious and practical cabin

The Triber has been packaged really well, enabling it to sit up to seven people with ease. While boot space is compromised, there’s decent space in the third row, and that makes longer journeys less tiring.

Comfortable ride quality

The car also rides really well and moves over bad roads smoothly. The seats are also comfortable and ground clearance is in plenty, making city driving carefree. Fuel economy is respectable as well.

Value for money

With the Renault Triber price in India starting from just Rs 6.14 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), the MPV comes out to be one of the most affordable 7-seater cars in India, given its top-notch practicality and comfortable ride.

Top Renault Triber cons

Underpowered engine

For a 7-seater car, the 1.0-litre naturally-aspirated three-cylinder engine feels very underwhelming. The powertrain is, in fact, the weakest link in an otherwise sorted car. There’s no turbo-petrol on offer, which can be seen on the Kiger. 

Subpar AMT

The automated manual transmission adds to the dissatisfaction that the powertrain of the car tends to cause. We would recommend you to get the manual instead, if you’re going for a Triber.

No factory-fitted CNG kit

While you can get a CNG kit retrofitted from authorised Renault dealers in India, the carmaker does not offer the option of factory-fitted kits, unlike its key competitors.
