The Renault Triber has carved out a sweet spot for itself in India as one of the most budget-friendly MPVs you can buy. For families wanting space without burning a hole in their pocket, the Triber is often the first pick. Now, Renault is getting ready to give it a fresh look. A recent video shows test mules covered in thick camouflage, but some hints are clear if you look closely.
From what’s visible, the front end is set to change a bit. The new grille appears more rounded than before, giving the car a friendlier face. The headlights look tweaked too, though there’s still a question mark if they’ll switch to LEDs or stick with regular halogens. Underneath, the fog lamps are tucked in neatly, and a black cladding strip connects the lower part of the bumper. This adds a bit more muscle to its simple look.
Small Changes, Big Difference
From the sides, don’t expect big surprises. The ORVMs are the same as the current model, so no dramatic changes there. Roof rails are likely to stay too, which is good because people love using that extra space for luggage when taking family trips.
At the back, Renault has decided to keep things simple but effective. The taillights seem to have a new shape, and this time they might get full LED treatment. It’s a small detail, but it can make the Triber look more modern and upmarket without pushing up the price too much.
Added Features In The Mix
The facelift Triber won’t just be about looks. There are hints of new features too. The video shows that Renault might finally add a rear wiper and washer — something many buyers want, especially during the rainy season. It’s also seen with a basic antenna, which means the overall clean roof look remains untouched.
What About The Engine?
When it comes to what’s under the hood, Renault hasn’t said much yet. Most likely, the facelift will keep the same 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine. This motor gives 71 bhp and 95 Nm torque, which works fine for city runs and light highway drives. But there’s also a buzz that Renault could add a small turbo petrol option. If that happens, the Triber might finally get the pep it needs when fully loaded with people and luggage.
Launch Still A Mystery
For now, Renault hasn’t locked in a date for the launch. But with test mules already out on the road, it shouldn’t be too far away. Families looking for an affordable people mover will be watching this one closely. Sometimes, small upgrades can make a familiar MPV feel fresh all over again.
