Renault has just christened it’s upcoming compact seven-seat, the Triber (earlier known by its code, RBC) it’s based on a modified version of the Kwid’s CMF-A platform. The Triber will hit showrooms sometime in July this year and will sit above the Kwid in the Rs. 5.3 lakh to 8 lakh price bracket. The teaser image released shows the Triber’s silhouette, upright bonnet and large front bumper.
Unlike the Datsun Go+ which is stretched version of the Go with an extra row of seats, Renault started with a clean sheet of paper to give the Triber a more functional design that makes in a lot more space within the smallest footprint possible.
Renault is expected to give the Triber premium touches like LED daytime running lamps, a large grille with chrome inserts as well as chrome bits on the front bumper. It will sport dual-tone interiors and will share the steering wheel and other controls with the Captur. The MPV will also come with a large touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Expect the new Renault Triber to come with dual front airbags, with some variants also getting side airbags. Additionally, Rear parking sensors, a reverse camera and a speed warning system will make it to the model as well.
The third row of seats, which gets a dedicated set of air-con vents can also be removed for extra luggage space.
Under the hood, the new Renault Triber will get a more powerful iteration of the Kwid’s 1.0-litre (BR10) three-cylinder petrol, which develops Triber or 7hp more. The engine will be mated to the Kwid’s 5-speed manual transmission as with a 5-speed automated manual transmission (AMT) likely to join the range in the future. A turbocharged version of the BR10 engine is also in the works but won’t come until next year.
The Triber has no direct competition and in that sense is a unique product blending the versatility of an MPV but with the compactness and ease of use of a hatchback.
