The Triber is one of the entry-level 7-seater cars in India, and one of the only three Renault cars currently on sale. Here are the top Renault Triber pros and cons that you should consider before buying a new MPV in India.
Thanks to its great suspension setup and comfortable seats, the Triber offers a pleasurable ride, making a strong case for itself as a good family car in India. Ground clearance is enough and it goes over bad roads smoothly.
There’s ample space for all occupants inside the cabin, with careful attention paid to packaging. Being a sub-4 metre car, boot space gets compromised, but real estate in the third row is appreciable.
With prices for the Triber manual starting from Rs 6.14 lakh (ex-showroom) and for the Triber automatic from Rs 8.74 lakh (ex-showroom), the MPV comes up to be amongst the best value for money 7-seater cars in India.
The 1.0-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine feels underpowered in a 7-seater car, and Renault doesn’t offer its turbo-petrol engine on the MPV, which can be had with the Kiger. Moreover, engine noise isn’t too well controlled.
With the NA engine already acting as a weak link on the Triber, a subpar AMT adds to the problem. Shifts aren’t smooth and jerks are quite noticeable, marking a dent in an otherwise comfortable experience.
While you can get a homologated CNG kit fitted at the dealer-level, Renault does not offer the option of factory-fitment, unlike its key competitors.
