Renault Triber Facelift Launched at Rs 6.29 Lakh: A Fresh Look for India’s Affordable 7-Seater

Renault India has just unveiled the highly anticipated 2025 Triber facelift, breathing new life into its popular sub-4m 7-seater MPV. Priced from Rs 6.29 lakh to Rs 9.16 lakh (ex-showroom), this refreshed model introduces a bold design, upgraded features, and a new brand identity, making it a compelling choice for budget-conscious families. Launched on July 23, 2025, in Mumbai, the Triber facelift is set to redefine value in the compact MPV segment. Let’s dive into what makes this update stand out.

A Striking New Look

The Triber facelift sports a completely revamped exterior, aligning with Renault’s modern “rethink space” philosophy. The front fascia now features a sleek gloss-black grille with the brand’s new minimalist 2D diamond logo, a first for Renault in India. LED projector headlights, paired with four-piece LED DRLs (two horizontal in the headlights and two vertical in the bumper), give the Triber a premium and contemporary vibe. The redesigned bumper incorporates fog lights and a bull-bar-style silver element that flows into faux skid plates, enhancing its SUV-like appeal.

On the sides, the Triber retains its iconic stepped roof design for third-row headroom, cleverly masked by stylish roof rails. New 15-inch alloy wheels with a unique 5-spoke design add flair, while dual-tone paint schemes elevate its upmarket look. At the rear, smoked LED tail lights and bold “Triber” badging on the tailgate complete the refreshed aesthetic. Three vibrant new colors—Amber Terracota, Shadow Grey, and Zanskar Blue—offer buyers more personalization options.

Upgraded Interiors and Features

Step inside, and the Triber facelift welcomes you with a refined dual-tone black and beige cabin. The dashboard has been subtly reworked, featuring a new 8-inch floating touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. A 7-inch semi-digital driver’s display, new fabric upholstery, and ambient lighting add a touch of sophistication. The MPV retains its versatile 7-seater layout with a 60:40 split second row and removable third-row seats, offering up to 625 liters of boot space.

Renault has packed the Triber with modern conveniences, including automatic climate control, cruise control, rain-sensing wipers, and a wireless phone charger. Safety is a major highlight, with six airbags now standard across all variants, alongside features like a 360-degree camera, front parking sensors, electronic stability program (ESP), and ISOFIX mounts. These upgrades make the Triber a safer and more comfortable choice for families.

Same Reliable Powertrain

Under the hood, the Triber facelift carries over the familiar 1.0-liter, 3-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine, delivering 72 hp and 96 Nm of torque. Buyers can choose between a 5-speed manual or an automated manual transmission (AMT), with the latter available only on the top-spec Emotion variant for an additional Rs 52,000. While some hoped for a turbo-petrol option, Renault has stuck with the tried-and-tested engine, which is E20 fuel-compliant.

For those seeking greener options, a government-approved CNG retrofit kit is available, making the Triber a versatile choice for cost-conscious buyers. The standard warranty covers three years or 100,000 km, extendable to seven years with unlimited kilometers. For a deeper look at Renault’s eco-friendly initiatives.

Variants and Pricing

The Triber facelift is available in four trims: Authentic (Rs 6.29 lakh), Evolution (Rs 7.24 lakh), Techno (Rs 7.99 lakh), and Emotion (Rs 8.64 lakh for manual, Rs 9.16 lakh for AMT, ex-showroom). Compared to the outgoing model, prices have increased by Rs 14,000 to Rs 41,000, reflecting the added features and premium design. With over 90% localization at Renault’s Chennai facility, the Triber remains competitively priced, taking on rivals like the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga and Tata Punch in the budget MPV and SUV segments.

Why the Triber Facelift Stands Out

The 2025 Triber facelift strengthens its position as India’s only sub-4m 7-seater MPV with a monocoque chassis, offering unmatched practicality and affordability. Its refreshed design, enhanced safety features, and modern tech make it a strong contender for families seeking value without compromising style. While the lack of a turbo engine might disappoint some, the Triber’s blend of space, features, and price makes it a unique offering in a crowded market.
