Then Renault declared the cost a month ago and the definition for the cheap MPVs changed. But is it any great to drive or for that matter, any great to place your money on? We dig a bit deeper.
The Triber attempts to drift away in the conventional MPV design of becoming a stretched boxy machine into a sub-4-meter Kwid motivated MPV with an SUV touch. There's a lot of chrome therapy, and elements such as body cladding, large wheel arches, roof rails, and skid plates add to the rugged appearance. Overall the Triber is not a very attractive car but looks proportionate and beefy.
Now the entire idea behind the Triber was to accommodate as many individuals in a little automobile and in a unique way. The end result is India's first modular car, which essentially means there's removable third-row chairs which are the first-in-India. It is possible to either eliminate these to liberate a massive 625-litre of boot area or add to seat 7 people indoors.
While the boot area is enormous with no third row, it's slight with the extra row. Although kids and dogs would fit perfectly fine. The second and third rows obtain their personal AC vents, although the place back of their second-row vents on pillars is little strange.
That having been said, the viability would be the USP of Triber and charge goes to Renault for adding intricate details to improve the space. You get dual glovebox, air-cooled box for that can hold a little bottle or 2 cans of coke, two mobile holders and other little little areas. What we do not enjoy from the cottage is the constructed quality, which might have been much better but considering the price you're spending, makes . There aren't any steering mounted buttons and no display for AC knobs.
Steering is on a lighter side and such as motor, is trained to possess simple cruise in town landscape. The NVH levels are adequate enough and any drive to acceleration might test your endurance.
Having said this, Triber was not projected as a motorist's car. And also to make it worth for money, Renault had to undermine the motor performance. However, what they haven't compromised on is your safety as the Triber has 4-airbags, ABS with EBDrear parking sensor camera amongst others.
Verdict
The Renault Triber is packed with practicality, offers a distinctive modular cabin and can be value for money with prices starting as low as Rs 4.95 lakh. It'll be intriguing to see if the Triber can reignite the same magical as Kwid and Duster failed for Renault in the past. For now, we are impressed with the overall package and the fact that Renault didn't bring just another international automobile to India but has paid a lot of idea on an India-specific car.

While Renault is not calling the Triber that an MPV, the simple fact of the matter is that the car will compete in the MPV segment. And one thing which MPVs are not famous about is the way that they are designed.

Renault Triber Cabin

Renault Triber Engine Review
The Renault Triber only receives a gasoline engine that is a 3-cylinder BS-VI ready 1.0-litre engine generating 72 PS of power and 96 Nm of torque. There's a 5-speed manual gearbox on offer. Now to deal with the elephant in the room, the Triber feels badly underpowered to push. We tested the vehicle in Goa with 4-full grown adults and the AC on. It was quite difficult to push the car through its paces and only from the city did the automobile felt driveable enough.
Steering is on a lighter side and such as motor, is trained to possess simple cruise in town landscape. The NVH levels are adequate enough and any drive to acceleration might test your endurance.
