What’s New?
The Renault Triber, which has quietly ferried families around for nearly half a decade, has been given a timely update. There’s no turbo power or dramatic mechanical change, but there are sharper clothes, new colours, and a few creature comforts that suggest Renault’s been listening.
Prices now start at Rs 6.29 lakh and go up to Rs 9.16 lakh (ex-showroom), if you’re ticking every box including the AMT.
2025 Triber Facelift Variant-wise Pricing
| Variant | Price (Ex-showroom) |
|---|---|
| Authentic | Rs 6.29 lakh |
| Evolution | Rs 7.24 lakh |
| Techno | Rs 7.99 lakh |
| Emotion (MT) | Rs 8.64 lakh |
| Emotion (AMT) | Rs 9.16 lakh |
Design Tweaks
At a glance, it’s still a Triber. But poke around and you’ll spot a new gloss black grille with vertical slats, the newer 2D Renault logo, and a sharper bumper with silver accents. The LED headlamps and fog lamps are now standard issue on higher trims.
Down the sides, things remain familiar, apart from 15-inch dual-tone styled wheels and blacked-out ORVMs, roof rails and door handles. From the rear, there’s a gloss black strip linking the new LED tail-lamps, a brushed aluminium ‘Triber’ badge, and a chunkier rear skid plate for that faux-rugged look.
Paint choices include three fresh additions, Amber Terracotta, Zanskar Blue, and Shadow Grey, presumably named during a camping trip.
Interior Updates
Inside, the layout is similar but gets a cleaner dual-tone black and beige theme. There’s a new floating touchscreen, still 8 inches in size, featuring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as dedicated AC vents for all three rows.
There’s cruise control now, along with automatic headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, and front parking sensors. The keyless start, steering-mounted controls, and rear AC vents have been retained.
Safety First
This is where the facelift steps up. Six airbags are now standard across the range. You also get:
-
ABS with EBD
-
ESC (Electronic Stability Control)
-
Hill Start Assist
-
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
-
Rear parking camera with sensors
Not bad at all for a sub-Rs 7 lakh starting price.
The Engine Remains the Same
The familiar 1.0-litre petrol engine continues under the bonnet, making 72 bhp and 96 Nm of torque. Not quick, but just enough to get you to Goa if you pack light and don’t mind the scenic route.
There’s a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT, with the latter commanding a Rs 52,000 premium in the top-spec Emotion trim. Renault also offers a CNG kit via authorised dealers for those who enjoy even slower acceleration in exchange for lower fuel bills.
Rivals and Value
It’s still no match for the Maruti Ertiga or XL6 in terms of size or power, but it doesn’t cost nearly as much either. The Triber remains India’s most affordable 7-seater MPV, and now comes across as safer, better equipped, and more stylish.
There’s no turbo engine yet. However, if you're looking for an honest and practical family mover under Rs 10 lakh, the 2025 Triber makes a solid case.
Verdict
The facelifted Renault Triber doesn’t rewrite the MPV rulebook. But it polishes up a fundamentally clever idea. It remains compact yet spacious, now with enhanced safety and a touch of technology, still front-wheel drive, still no automatic climate control, and still no engine upgrade. But at Rs 6.29 lakh, it doesn’t pretend to be more than it is. And that’s sort of the point.
