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.

The difference between the Renault Triber manual and AMT’s ARAI-claimed figures are not steep. Therefore, given its ease of use and drivability factor in traffic conditions, the Triber AMT remains a good option even for buyers worried about fuel efficiency.
 

The top-spec Emotion variant packs a decent list of features and it can also be paired with an AMT gearbox.

In case you want to stick with official accessories at the dealership while buying a Renault Triber, you can consider items such as sunblinds, mud flaps and 15-inch alloy wheels. As per Renault India, these will cost you an extra Rs 12,014 over and above the cost of the car.

The Nissan Gravite has a slightly more affordable base model, however, the Renault Triber is more accessible at the top end.
