Renault Triber - compact 7-seater | First Drive Review | Autocar India

After a long wait, the Renault Triber is finally here. It packs seven seats into a sub-four-metre footprint, and while it might not be the first to do so, it certainly promises a lot of versatility. Nikhil Bhatia drives it in Goa to see if it lives up to its promise.

Well most of the people commenting on the triber's power r happily going uphill on a 8 seater 600cc Maruti Omni.🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Scither-]

It's not just about power, please try a test ride of this car and you will understand how bad can a engine really be, when u release the clutch on the first gear the engine knocks and you can feel on steering and pedals, once it gets going its ok

[@3018gaurav]

Maruti Omni was mostly used as school van, small family affordable car, and by small businessman, never realised underpowered car, but people are judging triber without considering price, features, safety and well spacious cabin which is wide and height is equal to Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Tata Nexon etc.

[@raghavshankara5601]

Is maruthi omni 600 cc??? I think its 990 cc

[@abhinavsingh.92]

@@raghavshankara5601 not that it matters much, but it is an 800 cc engine. 😂

[@antaresbnv3350]

@@Scither- u r wrong, it's good.

[@3018gaurav]

After all these discussions and debate, Renault Triber is a affordable family station wagon car. Well presented, Renault Triber is good for families for daily uses and it have all those features which is necessary, qlso it's is safer than Maruti Suzuki Car and looks good than Maruti Suzuki Car as compared to EECO and Wagon-R ECCO have 1.1 ltr engine produces only 63 HP, but renault triber 1ltr engine produces 72 HP and it is more fuel efficient.

Me: not impressive Price range: hold my bucks Me: 😮

[@solivagantbong168]

before buying this car I also though same but on booking, you just get sucked into paying for this that features, accessories and so on. For 2nd top variant, I have spent about 8 lakhs including tyre upgrades :(

[@jassji]

@@solivagantbong168 tyre upgrades as in?? And how come 8 L?

[@raghavkotabagi9917]

Those wheels look SWEET! They enhance the stance and the aesthetics of this well engineered car. Kudos to the Renault designers!

[@raghavkotabagi9917]

@Amal Joe Abraham yep, I know... Those wheel covers look so cool!

[@RaghavSehgal]

People driving down Delhi Ggn highway would soon see a new 7 seat company cab in which employees would be stashed in.

[@KanishQQuotes]

Yup innovas and taveras are gone and ertigas are now common

[@KanishQQuotes]

Use it as a 5 seater and enjoy the boot This vs New wagon R 1.0

[@goacf8043]

Location Canacona Goa Near Cabo-de-Rama Fort . Nice Review 👌👍

[@KanishQQuotes]

Which explains the lack of humour

[@neelgood_reels]

Hey Renault, Just borrow Hyundai Venue engine.. People will stand in queue to buy this beauty!!!

[@abhijiths7637]

It may increase the price which is not a very good idea in indian market

[@vishnusatheesh8885]

You are right 😉 everything in this car is perfect except the 1.0 liter engine

[@jitusanwale5023]

Yes you are right

[@SaratSarath]

Is this can able to go hillstations with 7 people

[@carzestindia626]

What a game changer.. love Renault the way they price it competitively 🔥 Duster, Kwid and now this one!!! Sureshot winner

Who's here after this car got 4 star safety rating?

[@piyushkanthak1087]

who is here after crash test?

[@gyanwire]

Car designs very well. It's really amazing. People with large family and less money just amazing option for them. Not for everyone but best for some families.

[@walenikhil4311]

I thought Renault is targeting The Datsun Go+ with the Triber. But this car has serious guts to take down even Ertiga sales which was once launched to take down The Innova sales. 😅

[@Akhillll1]

There is always smarter and younger version which will give hard time.

[@minatibehera8815]

And the kia carnival is set to destroy the innova's sales

[@sarangtambe3585]

Really good car. Good to see them paying attention to safety by giving 4 airbags but we will have to wait for NCAP to test it

[@9000eldiablo]

Even with the more powerful engine, I don't see the price rising too much. They might even challenge the Ertiga with this one. I'll surely keep my eyes open for that new engine as a first time buyer. Great review Nikhil 👍

[@abhinavsingh.92]

Turbo petrols have always been pricey but I hope it does not change the price too much.

[@ultimatestoryteller]

Same here , Adi. I hope they offer an AMT version with 1.2 Engine. I'mma gonna buy this one , then.

[@anurag-kumar20]

Who else is waiting for the BS 6 turbocharged engine?

what will be the price difference? say for 1 litre turbocharged engine...

[@prabhatkprasad4427]

[@yogendra986]

Overall it's a good package in this price range. Fantabulous job by "RENAULT"👌👌🙏🙌🙌

[@Madhusudhan2029]

With a better engine, price wouldn't have gone up very much. I really want to see its performance with 7 people or 5 people with luggage up a hill. This car is like tata harrier. Well priced, good looking, good almost everywhere except for the heart of the car, the ENGINE. Why do these manufacturers neglect it so much? People wont bother to pay a little extra for a good engine

[@27siddarth]

If you are planning to buy 'this' car you would not be willing to pay a bit more. Trust me I was in sales.

[@TheSharathantony]

if you compare with Omni and Datsun go, you will not post this

[@sweetyphundreimayum5030]

Have you ever heard of Omni

[@sameervijayan]

A real good review Nik..!! You really put a lot of heart in your reviews bro..!! Kudos..!! And overall it seems like a great package though some things that may dictate its success could be the lack of a proper four cylinder petrol engine, steering mounted controls and may be the lack of a diesel option.. Feel it wouldn't have been bad for Renault to give it a diesel option even though it meant a bit of compromise on the space front..!! Fingers crossed anyway..!! Cheers 💓💓

[@mrsharadchandra]

I am starting to like this car. Just dicy about the comfort

[@monkmind6121]

One of its kind only weight less than 1 ton with 7 seats and 40lt tank with 20kmpl mileage and the interior is so classy wow Renault nailed it no one is gonna buy maruti suzuki ertiga

[@Adharsh6]

Dont compare this with ertiga. Triber value for the money

[@paganmin8557]

Ertiga is bigger u stupid

[@nemesiszz]

Renault got my heart with the looks!

[@NituKumari-mu5bf]

It is true!

[@Nithanth_PS]

[@abhijith501]

Nice review but a small suggestion .. Can you make the same review with 7 passengers and with luggage.

[@abhijiths7637]

I wanted to check engine capacity of Nissan magnite non turbo but not a single reviewer reviewed it... so I am here Improvise,adapt and overcome I know this is 100kg lighter than that

[@paavanshetty267]

Good video review. Great all-rounder car. But as said the rear most seat occupant safety is questionable as was the case with Maruti's long standing OMNI at front. Also people need to get the safety rating of the new entrant vehicles in the market to have a clear judgement about safety. Sceptical about the safety rating of this one due to it's pricing and the bad reputation that KWID had!

[@Anand-uz8ly]

Its ok.Renault should have introduced Triber with a turbocharged engine.But at this price point 7 seating cars Renault did a great job

[@ulttance9213]

If this car fails too, Renault better close shop in India and leave.

[@harshitbaweja5594]

I think its a great car and I hope it sells well as renault is trying really hard in entry level segments and this effort deserves good numbers, if it doesnt I fear it will become all maruti monopoly.

[@ch7ramesh]

Mine rxt blue on road 7.45 with 15k accessoires no wheel upgrade option for rxt iam from vizag till driven its superb

[@AtomicAdi99]

A Fair Review.. now that's a great news . Love You Autocar

[@girishsgowda7474]

Loved the review. It was brief and to the point. Only downside is the underpowered engine. 96 Nm is simply insufficient. Would seriously consider this car in the turbo version with torque ramped up to 135-140 Nm atleast.

[@SeldanPhoton]

Now TRIBER IS MY FAVOURITE CAR

[@muralidhargokul2529]

[@syedmuzammil7536]

Really good practical car but the engine power should have matched the Ertiga for a potential slot in the market.

[@blue280485]

Nice video well explained👍 I think Renault should launch a CNG variant of Triber for Office Cab & Tour Taxi market, this would be quite successful there, what do you think🤔

[@arjunb963]

Renault has decided to give minimum number of cars as taxis. Lodgy is the only permitted vehicle till now.

[@AshwinF1Bloke]

They should have provided atleast foldable armrests for the driver and front passenger given the space between the seats.

[@deepak696]

With the new upcoming turbo petrol, plse have ESP & TC as standard, its the on Datson Go T varient as well (on road Delhi - 6.02 lakhs). ESP & Traction control are life savers. Its long since standard for all Cars in EU, US, CA etc

[@AKASHYADAV-cx5vx]

72hp is too low .for seven seater but a remarkable thinking from Renault. only problem is power which will be soon fixed by turbocharged engine

[@sreejikm]

Same thing they did with kwid, heavy car (in terms of appearance, space) with low powered engine. Now Triber with lots of room but less powered engine. They should have atleast gone with 1.2 ltr engine.

[@bipinmc123]

1.2L engine is a 4 cylinder engine and they wouldn't be able to fit that in... Only way would be to compromise on seating space.

[@Gaurav-rj3zj]

@@bipinmc123 Finally someone who understands the basics of designing which have been used for this sub 4 metre car.

[@AMDbikeCar]

I like this. It price is amazing. It car price help to indian people for buy this car.👏💚

[@MohdHashimKhan]

Car engine technology has come a long way from 90's. In old carb engine days when maruti launched Maruti 1000 with a 1000cc 4 cylinder engine, it was a flop due to low power of 45 bhp only. And now we have a 3 cylinder 1000cc happily pulling 7 people.

[@dgupta42]

Renault should quickly do a premium version with: 1. More power for highway driving. Turbo charging the same petrol engine, and/or go up to 1.2Ltr as that could also be used by other Renault models in the future. 2. Add auto transmission or a smooth AMT, with cruise 3. Add audio and cruise buttons on the steering wheel. 4. Add damping and insulation to make it a very quiet car cabin. Market this along with safety/4 airbags. 5. 3rd headrest in middle seat. Arm rest in front and in middle seat. Middle seat headrest could be implemented by simply making the middle part of the seat fold forwards at the right height. This can be done with hardly a 50-70K increase in price. Cars in India are still an aspirational product, and a good affordable automatic will sell well in the cities.

[@p_dr9904]

Why don't you go for a #BMW !! 😂😂

[@saurabh4134]

Please provide steering mounted audio controls.. for volume, song change , attending or rejecting or dialing a call on attached device So..we can enjoy the drive

Renault has given a really awesome package here this car has lot of potential just they need to advertise this car very aggressively and they have many things as their highlight and very affordable pricing has to be the no. 1 of all of them this car deserves good sales figures

[@TestTest-px6td]

The car is a smaller version of Koleos in terms of looks and design !! I have used Renualt before and its performance is great but the air conditioning is not up to the mark!! Lastly engine will still perform great as this is part if Nissan Renualt and Mitsubishi alliance 😀

Neral-Matheran, Kulu-Manali , Shilma all my life spent traveling in Maruti Omni 800cc engine. And now people have started complaining about 1000cc engine 7 seater car which cost upto 7 lacks on road. If you have 8lacks+ of budget go for 1.5 liter ertiga why one will go for even for 1.2 liter engine ?

[@anupam1478]

Hello sir ,it is requested to you to raise my words ,and that is for back seats we don't find any inclined towards back side back support of seats just like front seat can tilted inclined to back up to desired by comfortable of passengers. On the other hand back seats are just like bus seat we can't gets any REST all car makers are making the same pattern back seats must be more comfortable . They all are 90 degree vertical with horizontal sitting space the VERTICAL BACK Support of seats must not be at 90degree it should be more inclined towards back direction for all cars and SUV OF RENAULT. I AM THE OWNER OF RENAULT DUSTER . plz forward in your word. I am not talking about 7 seater back seats . For you TRIBER IS A GOOD AND YOUR PRESENTATION SKILL ARE OUT STANDING. THANKS FOR ALL UPDATE.

My opinion is dey shud have done it like nissan kicks, but in deir style of engine and more safety as well.tat back seat is not necessary at all,dey cud have made seats with gud thigh support as well cuz it's too large isn't it .

[@palabinash]

This is a new segment created

[@suhas2591]

Nice comprehensive review!👍🏻

[@yashmalpani]

Is triber a worthy car? Campared to the other options which starts from around 5-6 lacs like i10, swift, baleno, dzire, amaze, Figo, aspire,etc? Is it a real value for money? Need an honest opinion. Looking for a car within 7-7.5L(on road). Also, can the engine of the triber which is a 1L engine of the one the most successful Clio that produces upto 100 HP, can be tweaked for better performance by triber? Does the engine holds more capacity to deliver more power? Does the car performs better than on paper? Is it underwhelming on road? Also since there is roof a/c vents for the 3rd row, can we put a sunroof and is there any provision to install steering mounted controls? Will it have a resale value because of its BS4 engine? Will it be a good buy?

[@kishorejohn5577]

Reanult's launch of the Triber and its price point of entry was a show-stopper, but I feel that they should take it easy on the price rises. Now the Triber's base model sells at 5.3 lakhs ex-showroom which is almost 31K more than the intro price. Couple this with the fact that the price rise is not helped by any added specs, like say Power-windows for the rear- I think the company should re-think its price rise strategy. Already it seems like both Renault and Nissan are mulling price increases. Not a good precedent, I would say. They should concentrate on good sales numbers to keep the dealers busy. With a unique and class-breaking product like this, it is only a matter of time before the competition comes in with rival offerings. Renault should try to build a sizeable market before then....

[@thelowcarenthusiast5015]

Renault pls Add the 1.2L engine from maruti wagon r,its enough.bonnet is almost similar size so I think the engine will fit the engine bay in the triber
