Renault Triber

Renault Triber : Official Review - Team-BHP

The Renault Triber is on sale in India at a price of between Rs. 4.95 - 6.63 lakhs (ex-Delhi).

What you'll like:

• A 7-seat MPV at the price of B-segment hatchbacks. Lots of car for the money
• We like the crossover'ish styling. Looks swell for an MPV!
• Practical & spacious cabin, with a usable 3rd row. Ample storage too
• Incredible 625L boot with 3rd-row removed. Many cargo & seating combinations available
• Neutral road manners and city-friendly size (unlike most other 7-seater MPVs)
• Equipment for a budget car (4 airbags, touchscreen ICE, reversing camera)
• Loads of neat touches such as auto locking & unlocking, removable 3rd row seat, underseat drawer, fully adjustable 2nd row seats...

What you won't:

• Boring 1.0L petrol engine lacks pep & punch. It is the weakest link in this package
• Average NVH levels. Engine can get noisy, while vibrations are felt on the inside
• Some misses such as a thinner spare tyre, no foglamps / steering-mounted controls...
• Cabin width makes it a 6-seater, not 7 (i.e. 2 adults on the middle row, not 3)
• Minimal boot space with all seats occupied; you'll need that roof-mounted carrier
• No diesel or automatic options in the line-up
• Renault's after-sales service quality is inconsistent

2 things stand out for me looking at those pics:

- Front side indicator positioning is weird.
- Look of the 3rd row seatbelts is incredibly untidy.

From the Triber review:

"Plastic wheel arches on the fenders for that "crossover" look. Turn signals integrated here. Even the Kwid gets its indicators on the wheel arch."

Renault Triber side indicator repeater positioning:

Renault Kwid side indicator repeater positioning:

Must be part of their 'common lineage' brand identity...

As for those incredibly sloppy & untidy MANUALLY adjustable seat-belts for the 3rd row passengers (really Renault, in 2020 you still install a set of these 1970's-era units into a mass-market car?? - shows just how much 'bean-counter' cost-cutting is evident!) - all I would do is take them out, buy a set of these 3-point inertia reel seat-belts from Takealot @ R 999 each, and fit them as replacement units - and send the invoice to Renault SA for reimbursement!

New Renault Triber In SA

Renault will be launching a new 7-seat Triber crossover in South Africa this week. Take a look at the details below...

Renault is expanding its burgeoning crossover offering with the new Triber, which is based on a modified version of the CMF-A platform which underpins the popular Kwid hatchback and will compete against rivals such as the Suzuki Ertiga, Honda BR-V and Toyota Avanza.

Unlike the sparse initial safety specification of the Kwid, Renault has equipped the Triber with 4 airbags as standard.

Local pricing and specification will be confirmed this week and we will certainly keep you updated as soon as more information becomes available.

Pricing! New Renault Triber budget seven-seater hits South Africa

The new Renault Triber seven-seater has touched down in South Africa, with the local range comprising three variants at launch.

The Indian-built “value-for-money” newcomer slots in above the facelifted Kwid (and uses a modified version of the budget hatchback’s platform) to take on the likes of the Datsun Go+. Pricing starts at R164 900 and runs through to R189 900, and includes a five-year/150 000 km warranty and a two-year/30 000 km service plan.

The range-topping Prestige, meanwhile, boasts items such as the aforementioned front-side airbags, a reversing camera, LED daytime running lights, 15-inch “flex” wheels, a third 12 V socket and keyless entry.

Steelies for life!
 
It's damn cheap and I'm glad to see that they upgraded to 4 nuts per wheel and put airbags into it.

I still wish that Renault would build a 7 seater Duster instead.
 
Renault's budget seven-seater: Triber hits SA starting at R164 900

Renault South Africa is hoping to take the mini-people-mover market by storm with the new Triber, which brings seven-seat motoring to the masses with its starting price of just R164 900.

Going up against the Datsun Go+, albeit undercutting it by R8000 at the base of the range, the Triber was styled to look more like an SUV than an MPV and with a class-leading 182mm of ground clearance, it’s best described as a crossover of sorts.

The Triber rides on a modified version of the Kwid’s platform and it’s powered by an upgraded version of its 1-litre three-cylinder normally aspirated petrol engine, which produces 52kW and 96Nm. Whether that’s enough to keep it up to speed at Gauteng altitudes remains to be seen however. Fuel consumption should be impressive though, with Renault claiming a combined figure of 5.5 litres per 100km. All models are fitted with a five-speed manual gearbox.

The big drawcard here though is practicality and the Triber not only offers seating for seven, but numerous seating configurations - with Renault claiming there are up to 100 different variations, and there are also aircon vents for all three rows. There are four basic seating modes: Camp (two-seater), Surf (four-seater), Life (five-seater) and Tribe (seven-seater). The rear seats can also be removed completely.

Renault Triber (2020) Launch Review

Summary

The Triber is priced extremely keenly and offers an exceptional amount of space, practicality and equipment. It feels more like a family mini-SUV than the Ertiga, Avanza and BR-V. A lot of that is down its styling, colour palette and small on the outside, big on the inside feel.

The drivetrain lets the package down due to its lack of power and torque, muddled gear ratios and tricky clutch take. It’s certainly going to suffer in Gauteng where the altitude will rob further power from it. A turbo is on the cards for later but that could only arrive at the end of the year.

The Triber’s road manners are decent, it’s stable at speed and rides bumps and takes knocks well. The steering could be more communicative at low speed but that tends to be the status quo in this segment.

It shines in the practicality departments with flexible seating, airconditioning for all 3 rows and loads of hidey holes in the cabin for storage.

I suspect that like the Kwid, the Triber will find many homes in SA due to its keen price, modern features and value for money offering. I’d still wait for the turbo though.
