Renault Triber
The Triber is Renault’s only MPV in India. It is a sub-4-metre seven-seater with a 2+3+2 layout, sold in five variants with one 999cc three-cylinder petrol engine. You get a 5-speed manual across the range, or a 5-speed AMT on the top trim only. The facelifted cabin has a lighter dual-tone theme, a floating touchscreen and lower AC vents. Outside there is a gloss-black grille, and dual-tone paint on the flagship variant.
In our Autocar India road test, packaging remains the Triber’s best point. We found the third row usable even for adults, which is rare in this class. A second-row bench that slides, reclines and splits 60:40 helps. Ride quality is good too, and it soaks up bumps with a steadiness we found remarkable for a car under a tonne. Performance is the weak spot. We flagged the 72hp engine as underpowered, especially when loaded, with clear three-cylinder thrum and transmission whine on the highway. It adds up to excellent value held back by a lack of pace.
Who should buy the Triber?
Set against our road-test findings and the spec sheet, these buyer types line up best.
Persona | Why it fits |
Family Buyer | A 7-seat 2+3+2 layout with a sliding, reclining second row, and a boot that grows from 84 to 625 litres with the seats folded |
Value-for-Money Buyer | Our road test calls it genuine practicality and versatility unmatched in its segment at its starting price |
Automatic Seeker | A 5-speed AMT is offered, though we note it is limited to the top Emotion trim and shifts jerkily |
Tech Buyer | An 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 7-inch digital cluster, and cruise control added in the facelift |
First-Car Buyer | Light controls and a compact size make city use easy, though we found the steering light and lifeless once speeds rise |
The Triber suits highway cruisers least. We found the three-cylinder engine struggles on the highway, and mechanical noise at speed is a lasting limitation.

Renault Triber price & variants
The Triber price starts from Rs. 5.81 lakh for the Authentic MT to Rs. 8.48 lakh for the Emotion AMT, across five variants. There is one engine, a 999cc 72hp petrol, with a 5-speed manual or, on the top trim, a 5-speed AMT.
The manual suits you if value and simplicity come first. We found the shift itself heavier than expected, but it is standard on most trims.
The AMT suits you if you want less clutch work in traffic. We found it does a decent job of keeping the engine on the boil despite jerky shifts, but it comes only on the Emotion AMT.
The facelift adds cruise control, auto headlamps and rain-sensing wipers. Check these against the variant grid before you book.
Our main caution is the engine. It feels underpowered, especially when loaded, so weigh that against the price before you pick a fully loaded, heavier variant.
EMIs for the Authentic MT start from Rs. 9,332 a month, and the Emotion AMT from Rs. 13,515 a month.

The Triber’s facelift brings a sharper, more defined bonnet with a flat leading edge, while Renault’s new diamond logo sits proudly on a gloss black grille that connects the headlights. The headlights retain their shape but are now LED units, paired with LED fog lamps. The bumper is boxier, with chunky silver trim adding visual heft. In profile, the changes are subtle; 15-inch wheels get new plastic covers that mimic alloys, gloss black door handles match the roof, and door decals get patterns. Functional roof rails carry up to 50kg. At the rear, LED tail-lamps are connected by gloss black trim, with a boxier bumper and Triber script finishing the look.
9
The Triber adopts a new dashboard, with the infotainment screen moved up and HVAC vents lower. The previous black-and-beige theme gives way to Renault’s “Greige” for a lighter ambience, while the silver trim is replaced by matte wood with diamond patterns. The Kiger’s steering wheel is carried over, though only the section between ten and two is leather-wrapped. Storage is clever, with two gloveboxes, a smartphone shelf, a wireless-charging slot, cupholders, a cooled bin, and shallow door pockets. Space remains impressive for a sub-4-metre MPV. Front seats are adequate, though lumbar and thigh support could improve. The second row offers better thigh support, adjustable headrests, sliding/reclining functionality, and decent legroom for tall passengers. The third row, while best for children, is easy to access and surprisingly comfortable for short stints.

The Triber sticks with its 999cc, three-cylinder engine, producing 72hp and 96Nm, sent to the front wheels via a 5-speed manual or AMT. In the city, performance is adequate enough to keep up with traffic. On the highway, however, overtakes often require a downshift or two, especially with a full load. The engine’s refinement could also be better. The three-cylinder thrum can get loud, accompanied by some transmission whine. Manual shifts are heavier than ideal, with a clutch that has a high bite point. The AMT would be a better choice, though shifts aren’t seamless. However, the AMT is only available on the top-spec Emotion trim, limiting options for buyers seeking convenience.
7
The ARAI mileage figures for the previous version of the Triber stood at 19kpl for the manual and 18.29kpl for the AMT. A CNG variant is also available via a dealer-installed CNG kit, with the factory warranty still applicable.

In typical French fashion, the Triber rides with a maturity belying its size. While there is an underlying firmness to the suspension — a result of the fact it has to carry seven and not collapse — it never really gets uncomfortable. Sharp jolts do make it through, but it handles most of what our roads throw at it with composure. Another positive is its stability at speed, which is remarkable for a vehicle that weighs under a tonne. What lets it down, though, is the light and lifeless steering — great when parking, but disconcerting as speeds rise.
8
Renault’s facelift adds a few key features, most notably cruise control, auto headlamps, and rain-sensing wipers. The 8-inch infotainment screen, while unchanged in size, gets a new UI. It isn’t the most responsive or crisp, but offers wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The digital driver’s cluster remains the same — easy to read and logically laid out. Safety is enhanced too, with six airbags and ISOFIX mounts now standard. The Triber also features ABS, EBD, ESP, traction control, hill-start assist, a tyre pressure monitoring system, and parking sensors front and rear. For context, the earlier model scored four stars in Global NCAP tests.
8
There is no hiding the fact that this facelift is largely cosmetic; however, it has done a decent job of bringing the Triber up to date. Unfortunately, its biggest flaw — performance, or the lack of it — also remains. At a starting price of Rs 5.76 lakh, though, it’s hard to argue with the value it offers. For what is distinctly hatchback money, the Triber provides a lot more genuine practicality and versatility. As a family car that can comfortably carry four and plenty of luggage — or occasionally take in seven — there is nothing else out there. The Triber certainly has found a niche and fits into it perfectly.

Renault Triber comparison



Renault Triber Mileage
ARAI figures for the Triber span 19.59kpl to 19.76kpl depending on gearbox. In our own road test we cited 19kpl for the manual and 18.29kpl for the AMT.
The manual is the running-cost pick for mixed city and highway use, because it carries the slightly higher claimed figure and avoids the AMT premium. On our long-term test we found the engine turns jerky at low speed when cold, with the odd hesitation when you lift off the throttle. That can dent real-world economy in heavy traffic whichever gearbox you pick. There is no drive-mode selector on the Triber, so economy comes down to your driving style and your choice of gearbox.

Renault Triber FAQs
We found the third row of the Renault Triber to be surprisingly comfortable even for adults, especially over short trips. There’s decent headroom and also two adjustable headrests for third-row passengers. Access to the last row is relatively easy with the middle row tumbling forward at the pull of a lever. However, the middle row will need to be pushed forward in order to accommodate adults.
For a sub-4-metre MPV that’s also relatively light, the Renault Triber’s suspension handles bumps really well. It also feels stable at highway speeds. While there’s an underlying firmness to this suspension, it has been designed to carry a full house (of 7 occupants) without collapsing. On the other hand, the light steering is great when parking, but disconcerting as speeds rise.
If you drive in bumper-to-bumper traffic regularly, then opting for the 5-speed automated manual transmission (AMT) would be a good choice. It’s easy to use and while not sporty or smooth, it does a decent job of keeping the engine in the meat of its power band. However, it’s only offered in the top-spec Emotion trim of the Renault Triber.
While the 8-inch touchscreen of the Renault Triber comes with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, its large bezels make it look less premium. It’s also not particularly responsive nor does it look crisp.
If you’re carrying a full complement of passengers, the Renault Triber’s naturally aspirated three-cylinder will have to be pushed to keep pace on the highway. This results in the typical three-cylinder thrum being heard in the cabin easily along with a bit of transmission whine. Then there’s the steering wheel, which has been carried over from the Kiger, but cost-cutting means that only the section between the ten and two positions are wrapped in leather.
Questions you may find useful
I have been driving a Renault Triber RXZ AMT for a long time. However, the transmission feels sluggish, and the car feels underpowered. My driving is 80% on highways and 20% in the city, with an annual running of approximately 8,000 km. Safety is a major concern for me. Please suggest the best 7-seater family car options under Rs. 20 lakh.
Given your usage pattern of 80% highway driving, the Renault Triber's limitations are understandable. The AMT gearbox is not the most responsive and the engine does feel underpowered.Go for the Kia Clavis HTK+ Turbo DCT. It is a comfortable, spacious seven-seater which delivers strong performance that you will certainly appreciate on your long drives. The HTK+ is well-equipped too, and the interior feels quite premium too. As far as safety goes, the Clavis is equipped with all standard features like 6 airbags, ESP, hill-start assist, ABS with EBD, etc. Overall, it'll feel like a huge step up over your Renault Triber AMT.
Is the Triber AMT worth buying?
For the money and size, the facelifted Renault Triber is a good option. It’s compact yet manages to seat seven adults, which is quite a feat of packaging. It rides and handles well, and is easy to manoeuvre in the city, so it works nicely as a family car in urban conditions.The only real issue is the 1.0-litre petrol engine, which is weak and not very refined, and with the AMT, it feels even more so, especially when fully loaded or on inclines. The convenience of the AMT in traffic is good, but it does highlight the lack of performance.A very relevant alternative is the newly launched Nissan Gravite, which is the Nissan version of the Triber. It is a mechanically identical MPV, differing mainly in styling, trim and badge. Crucially, it’s priced very aggressively, so in many cases the Gravite will work out a bit cheaper than the equivalent Triber variant, making it even more attractive if you are value-conscious.However, both the Triber and Gravite make sense primarily if you can’t stretch your budget. If you can, it’s better to step up to a Maruti Ertiga, which is larger, more comfortable, nicer to drive, and backed by Maruti’s service network that’s hard to beat in India.
I currently own an Alto that is now 15 years old, and I am looking to replace it. My usage is primarily within the city, with occasional highway trips during summer and winter vacations. I need a family car that can comfortably accommodate my three growing children, although they are still a few years away from their teenage years. I do not want to spend too much on the new car. I am considering the Nissan Gravite, Renault Triber, and Tata Tiago. I am also thinking about choosing a Maruti Suzuki car instead. Considering my family size, usage pattern, and budget-conscious approach, which car would you recommend?
Go for the Renault Triber. Your three kids will fit far more comfortably than in a Tiago, and its flexible seats mean you can use it as a five seater now, and a more comfortable six or seven seater when they are older.In the city, this Renault car is easy to drive and park as it is a small car, but you get rear AC vents and a wide second row, so school runs and weekend outings are comfier. For road trips, pop out the third row and you get huge boot space. It will cruise fine, but if fully loaded, you will need a heavier right foot for hills and overtakes - its 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine is the only real compromise. The Renault Triber Price starts at Rs 5.81 lakh (ex-showroom).The Tiago is a sweet, tough little hatch and nicer to drive, but with three growing kids you will outgrow its rear seat and boot fast, then feel the need for another upgrade. The Gravite has all the strengths of the Triber, just in a Nissan-badged and styled package, so pick based on your preference and which brand has a dealer and service centre close to you.
I want to upgrade to a seven-seater, but I am confused between a new Triber or Ertiga, and a used XL6. My usage is mostly in the city with occasional highway trips. My priorities are low maintenance and good mileage. Please suggest. Also, I would like to know what good automatic car options are available under Rs 8 to 9 lakh. Thank you.
The Maruti Suzuki XL6 is a more premium version of the Ertiga, and it is based on the same platform. However, the XL6 is a 6-seater, thus consider between the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga or the Renault Triber, both of which are 7-seaters.The Renault Triber is a sub-4m MPV, though, so while it is more affordable, it is smaller than the Ertiga, and the 1.0 litre engine is not powerful, especially so when fully loaded.As for your query about a good automatic car under Rs 9 lakh, you can consider the Maruti Suzuki Baleno, or if you would like an SUV body style, the Nissan Magnite would be a good choice.
I own a 2020 Renault Triber, which is currently in good condition and has been driven for 48,000 kilometres. I would like your advice on the optimal time to sell this vehicle. Additionally, when considering a replacement, should I continue with the Renault Triber as a 7-seater option, or would you recommend a different model? I am asking because I have the perception that it may be prudent to use a car for no more than five years before exchanging it for a new one. Please guide
There are multiple schools of thought - some people may want to keep the car for the longest time possible, some might want to replace it every few years, and some might want to replace it every year. Hence, there is no right or wrong time to sell your vehicle.If there is a car you're lusting after, or if minor niggling issues keep cropping up with your Renault Triber, then it certainly makes sense to replace it immediately. However, if the car is serving you well without any issues, you may hold on to it for a few more years. Interestingly, the resale value of a vehicle falls the steepest in the first two years, after which its residual value will reduce gradually.So the difference in resale value at the end of five years and seven/eight years won't be drastic if the car is looked after well. We'd advise you to sell it if you are ready to upgrade to maybe a Maruti Suzuki Ertiga/XL6 or Kia Carens Clavis.
