2025 Renault Triber Facelift Skips Turbocharged Engine Again – But Why?

Renault Triber has long been a popular choice for buyers wanting a spacious MPV, and its latest facelift brings a refreshed design, upgraded features, and an improved cabin. It remains the only sub-4-metre MPV in the country with three rows of seats, holding its position as a practical family vehicle for those who value space. However, buyers hoping for the addition of the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine from the Renault Kiger will be disappointed, as the update continues without it.

Renault explains that the decision comes down to packaging limitations. The Triber’s compact engine bay was designed to maximise cabin space, a defining strength of the model. Installing the larger turbocharged engine would require a complete redesign of the bay, which would reduce interior space and lead to higher costs. It would also need fresh homologation, further pushing up the price, which goes against the model’s aim of staying affordable for its target audience.

Under the bonnet, the 2025 Renault Triber retains its 1.0-litre, three-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine that produces 71bhp and 96Nm of torque. Transmission options remain a 5-speed manual and an AMT automatic gearbox. This approach helps the Triber remain attractive to urban and semi-urban families looking for a reliable vehicle.

Inside, Renault continues to focus on smart space utilisation. The tall body design makes getting in and out easier for passengers, while the second row offers good legroom. The third row is best suited for children but can be completely removed to create up to 625 litres of boot space. Folding the second row expands storage even further, making it suitable for long trips, transporting bulky items, or accommodating changing family needs.

The facelifted Triber is priced between Rs 6.30 lakh and Rs 9.17 lakh (ex-showroom), keeping it competitive in the budget-friendly MPV segment. By refining the existing strengths rather than adding features that would compromise space or increase costs, Renault aims to maintain the Triber’s reputation as an affordable and practical three-row MPV for Indian families.
