Renault Triber

So 4 years into having the Triber, it's still been a decent family car.
Dogs, bicycles, 65" TVs, picnic baskets, 4 people to Durbs, it's been a decent car actually.
Doesn't feel like it's been 4 years, normally by now the itch starts, but not with the Triber.
 
I have a 7 seater.
Took the seats out.
So I can pack more stuff.
And carry less people.

But it's mainly for camping and overlanding...

Renault Kwid won’t get a new generation, but Kiger and Triber to be renewed

The Renault Kwid, Kiger and Triber have been instrumental in the brand’s success on the South African market.

Built in India for emerging markets, the trio might not offer the kind of refinements you’d expect from Renault’s French-built products but they do provide South Africans with much needed mobility at a lower price point amid today’s crippling living costs.

While announcing minor revisions for the three products in India this week, the Indian division revealed its product plans for the next three years, and they include new-generation versions of the Kiger compact SUV and Triber MPV.

The plan also entails a new “B+” SUV, which may or may not be based on the third-generation Duster, as well as a C-segment SUV and a “localised” electric vehicle.

However there was no mention of a new-generation Kwid and given that the current version was launched abroad in 2015, a new version is starting to seem overdue.

But a new Kwid is not on the cards for now as Renault India CEO Venkatram Mamillapalle revealed to Autocar India during an interview at the event.

“It doesn’t mean we won’t do it, but as of now we have no plans of bringing in the new gen of the model (Kwid). We will keep it alive as long as regulations allow because if you see, regulations define what stays at what cost points.”

 
Dismal results as three more South African cars crash tested by Global NCAP

Global NCAP’s #SaferCarsForAfrica campaign is back, with three new South African-spec vehicles having recently undergone evaluation, but the results are nothing to celebrate.

The global crash testing authority on Wednesday released the results of its three latest crash tests, which resulted in a one-star adult occupant rating for the Suzuki Ertiga, and two-star ratings for the Kia Pegas and Renault Triber.

“We are disappointed to see global brands like Renault, Kia, and Suzuki offer such a low safety performance in markets like South Africa whilst achieving much higher levels of protection in many other global markets,” said Alejandro Furas, Global NCAP Secretary General.

“Don’t African consumers deserve the same level of safety?”

Facelifted Renault Triber revealed and locked in for SA

The facelifted Renault Triber has been revealed in India, with this refreshed 7-seater MPV scheduled to arrive in South Africa in the final quarter of 2025…

Meet the facelifted Renault Triber. Just unveiled in India (the country in which it’s built), the refreshed version of this 7-seater MPV is scheduled to launch in South Africa in the final quarter of 2025, the French firm’s local division has confirmed to Cars.co.za.

From what we can tell, the updates are largely cosmetic. Indeed, the most obvious changes have been made up front, where the compact MPV – which debuted globally some 6 years ago – gains a new gloss-black grille (complete with the latest take on Renault’s 100-year-old diamond-shaped logo), updated headlamps (with integrated LED daytime running lights) and a revised bumper design.

Round back and in profile, the updates are not quite as dramatic. That said, the refreshed Triber does now feature black trim between its taillamps as well as the latest Renault logo (with the “Triber” lettering now positioned below rather than above the rear numberplate) as well as newly designed alloy wheels. Three new exterior paint colours (“Amber Terracotta”, “Shadow Grey” and “Zanskar Blue”) are also now offered in India.

Inside, the updates are likewise fairly subtle. For instance, the Triber upgrades to new upholstery (featuring a black-and-grey colour combination in India), while the dashboard layout gains a design tweak or two. The MPV furthermore scores a new digital instrument cluster as well as some extra available equipment (including a 360-degree camera system and ambient lighting) in the world’s most populous nation.

Interestingly, the Boulogne-Billancourt-based automaker has seemingly opted not to make changes to the Triber’s powertrain, with the naturally aspirated 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder petrol engine (as well as the 5-speed manual gearbox and 5-speed automated manual transmission) carried over. This 3-pot motor generates 52 kW and 96 Nm, peak outputs that are delivered to the front axle.

Explained: Why the Renault Triber does not get a turbo petrol engine

Potential buyers were anticipating a more powerful turbo petrol engine on the Renault Triber facelift. However, there are no mechanical upgrades to the car, and it now appears the Triber won’t be getting one either.

Renault Triber (2025) Price & Specs

The facelifted Renault Triber has arrived in SA, with a starting price R10 000 lower than before. Here’s a look at the updated 7-seater MPV range and local pricing…

- Starting price reduced by some R10 000
- 6 airbags now standard across the range
- Naturally aspirated 1.0-litre carries over

Revealed in India (the country in which it’s built) as recently as July 2025, the facelifted Renault Triber has already touched down in South Africa.

While the pre-facelifted line-up comprised 6 derivatives (including the Express-badged panel van), the refreshed range has been cut back slightly to 5 variants, while also adopting a new trim-level naming convention (with Evolution, Techno and Iconic replacing Life, Zen and Intens, respectively).

Perhaps more importantly, however, Renault South Africa has sharpened the Triber’s pricing, just as it recently did with the Kwid. So, while the outgoing portfolio was priced from R228 999 to R264 999, the updated line-up runs from R218 999 to R259 999. That means the refreshed 7-seater MPV now starts R10 000 lower than before, with the Triber 1.0 Evolution 5MT priced at R218 999.

The Triber 1.0 Techno 5MT is next at R233 999, while upgrading to the so-called “Iconic” specification pushes the price to R249 999. Though those 3 derivatives all ship standard with a 5-speed manual gearbox, the Iconic grade is also available with a 5-speed automated manual transmission (AMT), taking the price to R259 999.
