Renault Triber To Finally Get A Turbo Petrol Engine Later This Year

GaadiWaadi -

Launched in 2019, the Renault Triber got a facelift in 2025 but is still only available with 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine

As a sub-4 metre MPV designed to accommodate seven people, the Renault Triber is a brilliant product, but it has long been criticised for being underpowered. Seven years into its lifecycle, a fix is finally coming in the form of a turbocharged petrol engine.

At an India-specific strategy event held on 16 April, Renault announced plans to make the Triber more appealing with two new variants. The first variant will feature a 1.0-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine, targeted at customers who are willing to pay a premium for the much-needed bump in power and torque.

Renault will use the same HR10 engine it offers in the Kiger in the turbo petrol variant of the Triber. Similarly, it will pair this engine with a 5-speed manual transmission as standard and offer a CVT as an option. In the Kiger, the HR10 engine has been tuned to deliver 100 PS (99 hp) and 160 Nm of torque with the manual transmission and 100 PS (99 hp) and 152 Nm of torque with the CVT.

The Renault Triber turbo petrol is said to be launched in the September-October period, just in time for the festive season. It may only be offered in the higher-end techno and emotion trims, at a premium of about Rs. 90,000 with the manual transmission and about Rs. 1.9 lakh with the CVT.

The second new variant will feature a bi-fuel petrol-CNG engine. Renault has been offering a retrofitment kit that can be used to make this conversion at its dealerships, but the upcoming variant will feature a factory-fitted CNG kit. Moreover, it will have a new layout in which there are two compact cylinders instead of a big one, both placed under the boot area. The dual-cylinder setup would ensure that the boot space isn’t compromised. For reference, the Triber offers 84 litres of boot space, which can be expanded to 625 litres by folding the third row seats.

While the current Triber CNG with the dealer-installed kit relies on a 1.0-litre naturally aspirated three-cylinder petrol engine, the new Triber CNG with the factory-fitted kit will feature the new 1.0-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine. A CVT option is unlikely to be offered with the bi-fuel version, meaning a 5-speed manual transmission would be standard.
