The much-anticipated Triber facelift is all set to be launched by Renault India on July 23, as the company has made it official today. The biggest update to the compact MPV since its launch in 2019, the tweaks include updated styling, added features and better quality materials for India’s most affordable seven-seater.
The refreshed Triber is expected to keep the pretty one-of-a-kind seven-seater layout in less than four meters, thus remaining the best-space-utilitiser in the ₹6-9 lakh price bracket. The books for the upcoming bike are likely to open soon after launch, with deliveries not far behind.
Design Updates: More SUV-Like Appeal
Exterior Refreshments
Compared to its predecessor, the 2025 Triber facelift is a lot bolder and offers an SUV-inspired design. Key exterior changes include:
- New look front grille with Renault’s latest 3D badge
- Revised headlamp units with LED DRLs on the upper border
- Relocated, lower positioned new fog lamps from the new restyled front bumper
- Bigger air dam for the aggressive look
- New visual flared wheel designs
- Revised LED tail lights with new signatures
- Rear bumper has been re-profiled and has a more beefier look than before
The overall shape retains the Triber’s trademark upward crease and window line kink, but the revised styling gives it a higher, more butch look that better fits in with modern SUV trends.
Interior Enhancements
The Triber facelift gets some worthwhile updates on the inside:
- New interior colour scheme, with lighter colour tones
- Padded details are incorporated in every cabin environment
- Increases in the dashboard and center console design
- Enhanced upholstery for superior Premium feel
- 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system (expected)
- Digital instrument cluster (expected)
The center third-row seat gains a headrest, which will solve one of our greatest comfort complaints from the current car.
Powertrain: Proven Engine Continues
Engine Specifications
The Triber facelift will continue to be offered with the same 1.0-litre three-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine:
- Maximum Power: 72 bhp
- Peak Torque: 96 Nm
- Gearbox: 5-speed manual / 5-speed AMT
The reliable powertrain configuration makes it competitive as punch. Renault will also still offer the CNG retrofit kit at ₹79,000 for those who are seeking fuel efficiency.
Expected Features and Technology
Expect a few new convenience and safety features on the facelifted Triber itself:
- Auto headlights
- Rain-sensing wipers
- Automatic climate control
- Cruise control
- Six airbags for enhanced safety
- Also Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity
- Rear parking camera with guidelines
These updates will make the Triber better positioned against its competitors – the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga’s and Toyota’s Rumion.
Market Positioning and Competition
Pricing Strategy
Priced from ₹6.25-9.50 lakh (ex-showroom), the Triber facelift will be placed between premium hatchbacks and compact sedans. This price tag makes it the cheapest seven-seater option in India.
Competitive Landscape
The facelifted Triber will take on:
- Maruti Suzuki Ertiga (₹8.96-13.26 lakh)
- Toyota Rumion (₹10.66-13.96 lakh)
- Kia Carens (₹11.41-13.16 lakh)
Its sub-4-meter length is still a unique proposition, along with the seven-seat option in this segment is still a feature that will appeal to the customer.
