The Renault Triber 2022 is a compact sub‑4 metre MPV designed to offer maximum seating flexibility and space efficiency for up to seven occupants in urban and family use. Here’s a comprehensive overview of its highlights:
🚗 Design & Packaging
- Built on a modified CMF‑A platform, the Triber measures 3,990 mm length, 1,739 mm width, and 1,643 mm height, with a 2,636 mm wheelbase and 182 mm ground clearance
- It has a kerb weight of approximately 947 kg
- Styling includes projector headlights with LED DRLs, rugged SUV‑inspired elements, roof rails (rated for 50 kg), and sleek dual‑tone paint finishes on higher trims
🧩 Space & Modularity
- Triber is exceptionally flexible with EasyFix removable third‑row seats, allowing over 100 different seat configurations across 2-, 4-, 5-, 6-, and 7‑seat layouts
- With third row removed (5‑seat “Life Mode”), boot volume jumps to ≈ 625 litres; in 6‑seat mode about 320 litres, and only 84 litres with all seats up
- Best‑in‑class legroom (≈ 91 mm) and generous shoulder room across all rows enhance comfort for longer trips
🔧 Engine & Efficiency
- Powered by a 1.0‑litre three‑cylinder petrol “Energy” engine, delivering ~71 bhp (72 PS) and 96 Nm torque, mated to a 5‑speed manual or Easy‑R AMT gearbox
- Real‑world fuel efficiency typically runs around 18–20 km/l with manual and slightly lower with AMT, especially under heavy loads
🎛️ Features & Tech
- Interior highlights include a dual‑tone dashboard, 8″ MediaNAV Evolution touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a 7″ digital instrument cluster (on higher trims), and cooled storage compartments (centre console and glovebox)
- Convenience features in higher variants include smart access card, push‑button start, wireless phone charging, rear AC vents for second and third rows, multiple 12V/USB ports, and reverse camera with sensors .
🛡️ Safety
- Renault equips Triber 2022 with dual frontal airbags, ABS with EBD, brake assist, hill start assist, TPMS, speed alert system, seat‑belt reminders, electronic stability control (on select trims), and reverse parking camera and sensors
- It received a 4‑star Global NCAP rating for adult occupant safety and 3‑star for child safety in crash tests conducted in India
🚙 Driving & Practicality
- The Triber offers a smooth and comfortable ride in city conditions, thanks to compliance‑tuned suspension; however, it tends to bottom out over sharp potholes at speed and feels underpowered on highways, particularly when fully loaded or with AC on
- Gearshifts on the manual version are reported as heavy and sometimes imprecise, and engine/road noise intrudes into the cabin under load
