Renault Triber

[Lupus]

The 1.0l engine does not make sense, no matter what Renault says.

It's not as bad as the reviews say, once you're used to it. Fuel economy is pretty good

South Africa’s best-selling budget cars (under R185k) of August 2020

Which vehicles are the best-selling budget cars in South Africa? Well, we’ve decided to take a look at the figures for August 2020 to find out.

While Naamsa no longer releases individual model sales figures to the public, we managed to lay our hands on some pretty interesting information.

For the record, SA’s new vehicle sales dropped 26,3 percent to 33 515 units (slightly above July 2020's effort) in August 2020, with the new passenger car market at 19 545 units registering a year-on-year fall of 32,6 percent.

For the purposes of this exercise, we’ve used a price cap of R185 000 (as we did in the budget car segment of our Top 12 Best Buys 2020 competition). As long as a passenger vehicle range starts at less than R185k, it’s in contention to appear on the list below.

So, what happened in August? Well, the Hyundai Grand i10 topped the charts with 449 units, ahead of the seven-seater Renault Triber (397) and Suzuki Swift (382). Renault’s Kwid (367) placed fourth, with South Africa's cheapest new vehicle, the Suzuki S-Presso (359) in fifth, and the Kia Picanto (257) in sixth.

SA’s best-selling budget cars (under R185k) of August 2020

1. Hyundai Grand i10 – 449
2. Renault Triber – 397
3. Suzuki Swift – 382
4. Renault Kwid – 367
5. Suzuki S-Presso – 359
6. Kia Picanto – 257
7. Datsun Go – 219
8. Hyundai Atos – 128
9. Mahindra KUV100 Nxt – 84
10. Suzuki Celerio – 54

Renault Triber (2020) Specs & Price

Having sold more than 2 500 units of its Indian-made 7-seater small crossover model since it was introduced in the South African market early in 2020, Renault has consolidated its Triber range by adding a new top-of-the-range derivative fitted with a 5-speed automated manual transmission (AMT).

To recap, the Triber is based on a modified version of the CMF-A platform, which underpins the popular Kwid hatchback and competes against rivals such as the Suzuki Ertiga, Honda BR-V and Toyota Avanza. Standing less than 4-metres in length, the Triber is surprisingly spacious and shares some design cues with the familiar Captur and Kadjar, including the clamshell bonnet and LED daytime running lights. We understand that the model was specifically tailored for Renault’s customers in the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa).

1.0 Dynamique 5-spd manual R193 900

In terms of after-sales service, the Triber comes with a 2-year/30 000 km service plan and a 5-year/150 000 km mechanical warranty. Services take place at 15 000 km intervals.

Pricing! Renault Triber AMT variant touches down in South Africa

Renault South Africa has expanded its seven-seater Triber range with the introduction of an automated manual transmission (AMT) variant.

The self-shifting derivatives joins the manual-equipped models that launched in South Africa in February 2020, with local sales having already pasted the 2 500 mark.

Priced at R219 900 and available exclusively in flagship Prestige trim, the five-speed AMT variant commands a R10 000 premium over the equivalently specified five-speed manual derivative.

As a reminder, the Prestige trim level includes items such as four airbags, a reversing camera, LED daytime running lights, 15-inch “flex” wheels, a third 12 V socket and keyless entry. An eight-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.

Pricing:

Renault Triber Expression 1,0: R183 900
Renault Triber Dynamique 1,0: R193 900
Renault Triber Prestige 1,0: R209 900

So far the Triber isn't really fuel efficient, though it is only really used on city driving, getting 450km a tank.

Actually the Kwid apparently gets a lot more, but than again it's 200kg lighter as well.

by losing the screws holing the door panels in,
saw that personally not even screwed in,

this is probably the same,
surprised they didn't lost a Lug nut as well, save more weight, but the wheel will come off easier.

Hey you did have that Picanto, I mean that thing sounded like it was a death trap. Also the Triber isn't a Kwid, it's based on an updated platform from the Kwid, also comes with more Airbags, ABS, EBD and such. My only complaint was the engine, and of course related the petrol economy.
Though it's not really much different from the Spark it replaced, but at least with the Triber we can move a lot more stuff. Still think it would be a great panel van

 

[Jet-Fighter7700]

Still think it would be a great panel van

agreed, isn't there a datsun go panel van version
so make the same exact thing, but have it say Renualt
or cant they because they have a kangoo van instead?

How’s Triber ownership going?

 

[Lupus]

How’s Triber ownership going?

Well my wife drives it a lot as it's her car, for me the engine is just underpowered. It does pretty well on the highway for petrol consumption but is actually pretty bad on city driving as you have to work the gears to get going, once it's going it's fine. But with the increased traffic you don't get going as much as you need to.
The large boot is pretty handy, the ability to be a 7 seater when needed is also pretty cool as it helps out for karate. With kids and dogs it's also not bad as the fabric seems quite hardy.
All it really needs is a more powerful engine to actually help it along. Though after a year my wife still likes it, I've taken it a few times to drive around like on the highway and such and on the highway I don't mind it, but in traffic noooooope as the first gear is too short and the clutch takes to high so you tend to jerk when pulling off. So it takes some practice to get a smooth pull off. Another annoying thing is because it's a keycard you need to turn the car on to open and close the windows, whereas my Clio you slot the key into the slot and it allows you to open and close the windows. The car also has a sensor to lock and open when you're close to it with the keycard, which is great for it's job as when your arms are full it's handy to have the doors unlock, pity you still need to put the things down . But at least you don't need to dig for the card.

Pricing! Renault Triber gets minor spec enhancements for 2021

The Renault Triber hit the market early last year as the country’s most affordable MPV, and now the compact seven seater has been given its first (albeit minor) upgrade.

The mid-range Dynamique and flagship Prestige models gain steering-mounted controls as well as LED indicators on the exterior mirrors, and the Prestige gains height adjustment for the driver’s seat. Renault has also mentioned a new dual-tone hooter, which is fitted across the range.

Thanks to the weaker rand, pricing has increased by over 12 percent since launch, with the range now starting at R185 900 for the base Expression model and rising to R221 900 for the Prestige AMT variant.

As before the only engine option available is a 1,0-litre, three-cylinder normally aspirated petrol unit that produces 52 kW and 96 N.m. Renault is planning to introduce a perkier turbocharged 1,0-litre engine, but a company spokesperson told us that it has been delayed, likely until late 2022.

All Triber models are sold with a two-year/30 000 km service plan and five-year/150 000km mechanical warranty.

Almost 15 bucks to the dollar when it released last year.
