Since its introduction in 2020, the Renault Triber has quickly gained attention as an excellent option for those seeking a budget-friendly 7-seater in South Africa. With its clever design, affordability, and practical features, the Triber has been making waves, appealing to families and individuals looking for everyday convenience. It sure does stack up against established competitors like the Maruti Ertiga and Toyota Innova, both of which have long been favourites in the Multi-Purpose Vehicle segment.
Spacious And Smart Design
The Renault Triber’s biggest selling point is its modular design. Although it is a compact car, its seating configurations offer incredible versatility. If you are travelling for a getaway and need sufficient storage for your luggage, Triber offers that without sacrificing your comfort. The Easy Fix Seats in the third row allow you to configure the car as a 5-seater or 7-seater in seconds. In its 5-seater configuration, you get a 625-litre boot space, enough for all your storage needs.
Engine Performance And Fuel Efficiency
The Renault Triber is powered by a 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder petrol engine which delivers 52 kW of power and 96 Nm of torque mated to either a five-speed manual gearbox or five-speed manual/automatic transmission in the top-spec derivative. While this may seem modest compared to the Ertiga and Innova, the Triber’s lightweight body and compact size ensure that it’s nimble on the road. It’s an ideal vehicle for city driving and the occasional long-distance trip. Further equipped with advanced technology like the dual VVT system, the Renault Triber delivers maximum responsiveness across all revs, ensuring optimal acceleration. Its fuel efficiency of only 5.5L/ 100km is a big win for budget-conscious drivers.
While the Ertiga and Innova offer more powerful engines, they come with higher fuel consumption, making the Triber the more economical choice for day-to-day driving. If your priority is saving on fuel while still having the flexibility of a 7-seater, the Triber outshines its competitors.
Interior And Features
If you think the Triber’s affordability means compromising on features, you are mistaken. Renault Triber is packed with modern conveniences like keyless entry, an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. You can enjoy your favourite tunes in your journey while keeping in touch with the world. Even better, everyone can enjoy comfort with independent air conditioning controls and vents for all three rows. Standard safety features such as ABS and EBD, dual front airbags, and rear parking sensors will make your drive easy and safe.
Vibrant Colour Options
Colour enthusiasts have not been left behind. The Renault Triber has a vibrant range of colours, allowing you to choose a shade that suits your style. Whether you prefer the boldness of Honey Yellow or Fiery Red, or the sophisticated look of Moonlight Silver or Electric Blue, there’s something for everyone. If classic is more your vibe, the Ice Cool White option adds a clean, timeless appeal to this versatile MPV. These colour choices help give the Triber a modern, dynamic look, ensuring you turn heads on the road.
