If you travel with family and are looking for a reliable 7-seater car in a budget, then the Techno variant of Renault Triber can be the best and value-for-money option for you. Its price comes around Rs 7.39 to 7.44 lakh (ex-showroom). The base Authentic (about Rs 5.81 lakh) lacks many essential features, while the top Emotion requires more money.
In such a situation, Renault Triber Tekno can be the best option. Everyday needs, space and facilities are found in perfect balance in Techno. Most auto experts also recommend choosing it as a family 7-seater in a low budget, because it provides the complete package without spending much. Let us know why it is right to call it value for money option?
Design and Interior
In terms of design, the Triber maintains a large MPV-like stance despite its sub-4 meter length. Techno gets 15 inch steel wheels with covers, functional roof rails (load up to 50 kg), LED tail lamps, electrically foldable ORVMs and black door handles. It looks better and premium than the base variant.
The interior is modular. 5, 6 or 7 seat configuration can be changed easily. Third row access is easy with second row slide-recline and one-touch fold-tumble. When the seats are folded, the boot increases from 625 liters to 1,065 litres. Driver seat height adjustment and armrest, cooled center console, third row 12V socket and dual-tone upholstery make the cabin comfortable.
Features and safety
Features include 8-inch touchscreen (wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay), steering mounted controls, rear parking camera, rear AC vents (2nd-3rd row), rear defogger-wiper-washer and front tweeters. Auto AC is only in Emotion, but Techno gets adequate cooling with manual AC.
In terms of safety, 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, ESC, TCS, hill start assist, TPMS and speed alert are standard on all variants. With Global NCAP rating, there is an adequate safety package for the family.
Engine and Mileage
The engine is 1.0 liter three-cylinder petrol. The naturally aspirated version gives 72 PS power and 96 Nm torque. The recently launched Turbo version (Techno Turbo Rs 8.53 lakh) is more powerful with 100 PS and 180 Nm. Both are available with 5-speed manual. Its mileage is around 20 KMPL.
