The Renault Triber will sit on the same CMF-A modular platform that is used by the highly successful Kwid. The 5+2 seat MPV can have its third row seats removed completely thus enhancing the cargo volume whenever desired. The Triber will be powered by a more powerful version of the Kwid’s 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine with manual and AMT transmission options. Reportedly a turbocharged engine will also be offered towards later stages.
Initially intended to be sold in India, the Triber will also be introduced in other markets including South Africa, South Asia and perhaps the Middle East. The Renault Triber will compete against the likes of Datsun GO+ & Suzuki Ertiga and will be introduced in the Indian market by July 2019.
