2020 Renault Triber Detailed Review
A few years ago almost every automobile car manufacturer in India was focusing its attention on the Suv segment as they believed that the Suv is the best option for the Indian market. But after the launch of Toyota Innova in India and its continued success in the country the other companies got convinced to make their best MPV for India. Companies were trying to provide best-in-class feature, luxury and comfort in their MPVs. But still no one is paying attention towards buyer who wants a good MPV in the low price category and comes with all kinds of features in the vehicle. But Renault did not make that mistake and turned its attention to buyers who want a lower price mpv, which includes all kinds of features. Renault then launched its Triber in the Indian automobile market for a low-budget buyer. After the launch, Triber become a game changer for the Renault which helped the company to attract more buyers towards its MPV. While Renault is not calling the Triber a MPV and the fact is that the car is directly going to compete in the Mpv segment.
When it comes to the look of the vehicle Triber is cleverly designed and longest wheelbase in the sub 4 meter class segment. The company used a lot of chrome treatment, roof rails, large wheel arches, skid plates on the front and rear bumper and body cladding gave the vehicle a rugged look. Triber is based on the modified version of the Kwid CMF-A platform. Chrome inserts have been used in the front grille and around the DRLs that helps to enhance the design elements of vehicle. The skid plate at front with 182 mm ground clearance gives the vehicle a Mpv look and 15-inch alloy wheels that make the vehicle attractive. The rear tail lights looks like inspired from the Renault clio tail lights which gives the triber a premium feel and provide better visibility of vehicle at night for other drivers.
