Renault Triber

Let’s not kid ourselves: we love stumbling upon these Renault models reserved for distant markets.

The Renault Triber is designed with a very different logic than what dominates here. For the past 10 years, this model has brought joy to the Indian market, and this latest carefully refreshed iteration hits all the sweet spots. Because beneath its mini-multipurpose urban vehicle appearance and refreshed lines, it hides a truly intelligent, modern, and ultra-optimized proposition for families… and frankly, it would fit perfectly in our hexagonal city centers.

Measuring less than 4 meters, the Triber is far from a behemoth. However, it offers up to 7 real seats thanks to a removable Easy-Fix third-row and a trunk that can expand to 625 liters once it’s folded down. The promise: plenty of space in an ultra-compact format, exactly what many French households are looking for in an era of shared urban journeys, spontaneous trips, or vacations with friends.

A true Renault identity

In this new version, Renault India has thoroughly revamped the front end (new grille, bumper, integrated LEDs…), as well as the interior ambiance with a bi-tone dashboard, an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, not to mention modernized upholstery and ambient LED lighting. On board, we now talk about a welcome upgrade and well-thought-out ergonomics for everyday life.

On the tech and safety front, the Triber comes with six airbags as standard, ESP, a tire pressure monitoring system, front sensors (a first in this segment in India), and ISOFIX mounts on all seats. It’s serious business for a vehicle that aims to be popular.

Powered by a small 72 hp 3-cylinder engine, available with a manual or automated gearbox, the Triber isn’t sporty, but promises a smooth and economical drive. And everything is made in India with over 90% local production, proof of a well-managed local approach.

One cannot help but see a Dacia that doesn’t name itself… got it? Come on Mr. Provost, give it a little detour through Europe; there’s room for it.
