Renault Triber CNG

Renault India will soon be introducing a new factory-fitted CNG kit on the Triber. The compact MPV has been available with a dealer-fit CNG cylinder since 2025, but that virtually takes up most of the boot space. The big news is that the factory-fitted kit will use a dual-cylinder setup that will be positioned under the floor of the MPV. 

  1. Factory-fitted CNG kit to be introduced by September-October 2026 
  2. Will be offered with new 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine 
  3. Under floor fitment means it will not compromise boot space 

Renault Triber CNG details

Earlier in February, the Nissan Gravite, a badge-engineered sibling of the Triber, was also showcased with a dual CNG cylinder setup. However, on the Gravite, the cylinders were stacked vertically on top of each other, effectively leaving no space in the boot at all. Renault has, however, found a solution by integrating the dual cylinders in the chassis under the boot, thus preserving the luggage space. 

Not just CNG, but the Triber is also set to finally get the long-awaited HR10 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder turbo-petrol engine that does duty on the Kiger. The CNG kit will, in fact, be offered with this more powerful engine. 

Renault Kiger to also get turbo-CNG powertrain 

The same turbo-CNG powertrain will also be offered on the Kiger compact SUV. Renault has modified the CMF-A platform that underpins both the Kiger and the Triber to accommodate CNG, and has now rebranded it to RGEP (Renault Global Entry Platform). 

Renault Triber CNG launch timeline

The company plans to launch the factory-fitted CNG kits around September-October this year, which means it will come during the festive season. The dealer-fit CNG kits were priced between Rs 69,000-Rs 1.08 lakh, depending on the model and variant. It remains to be seen at how much premium the factory-fitted unit comes. 

This move was likely prompted by increasing popularity of CNG in the entry-level segments. In fact, with a market share of 21.98 percent in FY2026, CNG is now the second most popular fuel in India. It has outsold diesel for two years in a row. In the price sensitive segment that the Triber operates in, the reduced running costs with CNG will be a huge boon for buyers.
