Renault’s popular seven-seater MPV, the Triber, is gearing up for a fresh chapter with its most extensive update since its 2019 debut. Spotted testing several times already, the facelifted version now gives us our first clear look at the redesigned front end—and it’s a noticeable evolution.
The new images showcase a softer, more rounded design approach, especially when compared to its more upright Nissan sibling that’s based on a similar platform. But what really stands out is the revised front grille. It’s larger, more prominent, and gives the Triber a more contemporary face, signaling clearly that this is the updated model.
Exterior
The facelifted Triber carries forward its compact-yet-capable footprint, but the front and rear designs have been significantly reworked. The headlamp layout has been slightly tweaked, integrating more smoothly into the reshaped bumper and grille. Expect similar treatment at the rear with updated tail lamps and a reshaped tailgate.
While Renault hasn’t gone for radical design changes, the tweaks bring the Triber more in line with modern styling cues, helping it remain competitive in an increasingly style-conscious market.
Interior
Step inside, and the cabin is likely to see practical updates rather than a full overhaul. Renault is expected to refresh the dashboard design and add some new textures and finishes to the centre console area. The facelift might also introduce a larger touchscreen and updated digital instrument cluster on higher variants, although official confirmation is still pending.
The Triber will continue to offer one of its most appealing features—modular seating for seven. Now, even the middle seat in the third row will feature a dedicated headrest, adding a small but important touch of comfort and safety for passengers in the back.
Engine
Under the hood, things remain unchanged. The facelifted Triber sticks with the same 1.0-litre, three-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine. It delivers 71 bhp and 96 Nm of torque, and is paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT gearbox.
Earlier in the year, Renault introduced a CNG version of the Triber, expanding its fuel-efficient options without changing the engine’s core configuration. The facelifted model is expected to continue offering this CNG variant.
Market Position
As Indian buyers move toward larger, more practical vehicles, the Triber still manages to find a sweet spot in the market. Its pricing strategy places it between premium hatchbacks like the Maruti Swift and Hyundai i20, and compact sedans such as the Tata Tigor and Maruti Dzire.
What sets it apart is its clever packaging—it offers the space and flexibility of a mini-MPV while keeping the price well within reach of budget-conscious families.
With this facelift, Renault isn’t just refreshing the design—it’s making a statement. The updates add a bit more polish to the Triber’s utilitarian appeal, helping it remain relevant in a crowded and ever-evolving segment.
