Renault Triber

Biggest negative drawback I can see, as far as occupant safety is concerned, are the MANUALLY adjustable 1970's era 3-point seat-belts for the 3rd row passengers as well as NO provision for ISOFIX child safety seat mounts in the 2nd row - in a car touted as an affordable 7-seater 'family' MPV.

Seriously? - in 2019?? - Yet another Global NCAP epic FAIL on the 'el cheapo' built to a budget safety aspect from Renault India.

The car is fine as it is, it's cheapness was supposed to be reflected in the price which unfortunately is never the case in SA.

Coming to safety and isofix, it seems many of us forget that we grew in the era of where there was no Isofix seat belts and airbags, while those are very important, accidents are mostly prevented by good driving habits more than fancy active and passive safety systems.

You know that have a crash survivable structure and proper seat belts doesn't prevent you from having 'good driving habits' (how are those working out for you anyway? Certainly not great back in the good old days).

Feelz before realz. Looks like you weren't as great at not dying as you thought.

Interesting, a link to the source would be great. Perhaps there could be a detailed explanation to the graphs and more information. Looking at our South African graphs it is hard to tell the actual cause of the fatalities and it will be not so simple to attribute the fatalities or non fatalities to a specific single reason.

And yes, safety features don't prevent you from having good driving habit but they also don't magically give you good driving habits.

Did anyone claim they would? Is that what they are intended to do? That is like saying burglar bars don't solve societal ills that lead to crime in the first place. Well okay! Source is in the graph.

Except they weren't. Still as many deaths (though it is not consistent) but generally higher rate adjusted for population or miles driven.
 
Here's which vehicles Renault is bringing to South Africa in 2020..

Renault South Africa looks set for a busy 2020, with the local arm of the French firm confirming it plans to launch at least five new or facelifted models locally next year.

So, what’s on the cards, and when? Well, the new seven-seater Triber (check out our early driving impression here) will be the first to arrive in South Africa, either late in January or early in February. This model is set to do battle with the likes of Datsun's Go+.

OPINION | Why Renault's new Triber could be a sales success in SA

Under R200k?

While the Kwid carries a maximum price tag of just under R175 00, it can be expected that the Triber could retail for under R200 000. Given its size, the four airbags, and MPV/crossover body, Renault would price its newest addition accordingly.

Because the Triber is based on the Kwid, it must continue with the budget-beating onslaught. Renault wouldn’t want to alienate consumers and drive them away from a potential buy; hence they’d want to come in with an aggressive launch price and gradually increase it.
