For long-term success in the Indian automotive market, a wide product portfolio is imperative. Renault has seen success in India with both the Duster and Kwid, but little else – and they’ve been trying to expand their product portfolio for a while now. The latest addition to the lineup is the all-new Triber. Now, we haven’t driven it yet, but we did get to spend some time with it to tell you what to expect before its official launch.

Sub-4 metre stretch

The sub-4 metre segment offers great opportunities for manufacturers, but it’s also proved to be a tough nut to crack. In the case of the Triber, its Renault’s second attempt at cracking this mass-market segment – after already tasting some success with the Kwid.

Design has been always been a strong point for Renault, something that’s quite visible in the Triber as well – it’s really a wellexecuted sub-compact car. Despite being under 4 metres long, the styling of the Triber is very cohesive.

The front is dominated by the oversize Renault logo and large headlights, which come with projector headlamps in the top-ofthe-line version – the one featured here. Additionally, the use of chrome and silver gives the Triber a unique look.
