Since its launch in August 2019, the Triber achieved significant sales, surpassing 100,000 units in two and a half years. Despite a recent stabilization in monthly sales to around 1,500 units, it remains a key model for Renault in India, effectively maximizing practicality within its compact size.
The exterior redesign introduces a new gloss-black grille, sleeker LED headlights, and a refined bumper that collectively enhance the vehicle’s modern appeal. The sharper daytime running lights and fog lamps contribute to a fresher aesthetic, complemented by a redesigned emblem. The side profile retains functional roof rails, rated for 50 kg, along with stylish 15-inch wheel covers that mimic alloy designs.
At the rear, updates include LED tail-lamps linked by a gloss-black strip, contributing to a wider appearance, and a reshaped bumper, providing a sophisticated refresh that enhances the overall look without drastic changes.
Inside, the cabin’s sophistication is elevated, adopting a beige-and-black theme inspired by the Kiger. Key upgrades like a higher eight-inch touchscreen, repositioned air conditioning vents, and a centralized start/stop button improve functionality. New additions such as a driver armrest and a revamped steering wheel with controls enhance comfort, while lighter upholstery creates a more open atmosphere.
Feature-wise, the 2025 Triber showcases a comprehensive set of updates including automatic headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, a 360-degree camera, a seven-inch digital display, and wireless connectivity for both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Safety enhancements are significant, with six airbags now standard, alongside electronic stability program (ESP), traction control, hill-start assist, and tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). Renault has reinforced the body shell for improved safety assurance.
Families will appreciate thoughtful features such as charging ports for third-row passengers and dedicated air conditioning vents for both the second and third rows.
However, the mechanical aspect of the Triber remains unchanged, relying on the original 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine that delivers 71 bhp and 9.8 kg-m of torque. The RXZ manual variant offers a familiar driving experience—smooth, efficient, and well-suited for urban driving. The lightweight clutch and short gearing facilitate daily commutes, although highway performance reveals limitations, requiring strategic downshifts for overtaking and a preference for a more relaxed driving style. A turbo-petrol variant from the Kiger could enhance the experience.
Nails Comfort
Where the Triber excels is in ride comfort, attributed to a well-tuned suspension that absorbs uneven surfaces and maintains composure for a tall MPV. While some body roll exists, it is manageable, and the generous 182 mm ground clearance mitigates concerns over rough roads. The steering provides a light feel in urban settings while firming up adequately at higher speeds.
The 2025 Triber effectively meets its objectives: it enhances safety, offers smart features, and presents a modern visual appeal. While it may not deliver an exhilarating driving experience, it sets a high standard for practicality and value in its category.
For those prioritizing space, comfort, and safety within a budget-friendly framework, the updated Renault Triber represents a sensible choice for families embarking on their journeys.
