The Renault Triber has been a game-changer for Indian families since its 2019 debut, offering an unbeatable combination of affordability, space, and practicality. With the launch of the updated 2025 Triber, Renault has refined its winning formula without losing sight of what made the car popular in the first place.
Instead of radical changes, the French automaker has focused on subtle but meaningful improvements—enhanced design, smarter interiors, better powertrain options, and advanced safety features. So, what’s new in the 2025 Triber? Let’s find out.

Design
Renault has maintained the Triber’s distinct identity while introducing subtle refinements to enhance its appeal. The signature front grille gets a more premium look with chrome accents, and the headlamp design now integrates LED daytime running lights as standard. These updates give the Triber a modern and confident stance.
The side profile remains familiar, but new alloy wheel designs (15-inch on mid-range variants and 16-inch on top models) add a touch of sophistication. The roof rails, which were already functional, have been streamlined to reduce wind noise. At the rear, redesigned tail lamps now extend into the tailgate, creating a wider and more planted look.
Renault has also introduced two new metallic colors—Caspian Blue and Himalayan Grey—bringing the total available shades to eight, giving buyers more personalization options.
Interior
The Triber has always been known for its spacious and flexible cabin, and Renault has taken it a step further with improved materials and features. The dashboard has been completely redesigned, featuring a more premium layout. A new 8-inch floating touchscreen infotainment system supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, making connectivity seamless.
The cabin materials have been upgraded, with soft-touch elements on the dashboard and better seat upholstery options. Mid-range variants get a new stain-resistant fabric, while the top trims feature premium leatherette with contrast stitching. The seating remains modular, with the second row now featuring a smoother slide-and-recline mechanism and the third row offering better cushioning for long journeys.
Storage solutions have also been improved, with a cooled upper glovebox and additional USB-C charging ports for rear passengers. Higher variants even get wireless phone charging, catering to modern connectivity needs.
Powertrain
The 2025 Triber offers two engine options. The naturally aspirated 1.0-liter petrol engine remains the entry-level option, producing 72 horsepower and 96 Nm of torque. This engine is designed for city driving and offers a balance of efficiency and performance.
The biggest addition is the 1.0-liter turbo-petrol engine, which provides a more substantial 100 horsepower and 160 Nm of torque. This upgrade makes highway drives and full-load conditions much easier, improving acceleration and overall drivability.
Transmission options have also improved. The standard engine comes with either a 5-speed manual or an AMT (automated manual transmission), while the turbo variant gets a 5-speed manual and a new 6-speed torque converter automatic. This automatic transmission is a major upgrade over the previous AMT, providing smoother shifts and a more refined driving experience.
Fuel efficiency remains a key highlight. The naturally aspirated engine delivers a claimed 19.8 km/l, while the turbocharged variant offers around 18.2 km/l. These figures make the Triber one of the most fuel-efficient seven-seaters in its class.
Ride and Handling
Renault has fine-tuned the Triber’s ride quality to better suit Indian roads. The suspension setup, which includes MacPherson struts at the front and a torsion beam at the rear, remains unchanged, but the damping has been adjusted for better comfort. This ensures that the car absorbs road imperfections more effectively, making long journeys less tiring.
Steering response has also been improved, making the Triber feel more confident both in city traffic and on highways. The revised electric power steering now requires fewer turns lock-to-lock, making parking easier while improving directional stability at higher speeds.
Noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) levels have been reduced as well. Renault has added extra soundproofing materials, improved door sealing, and introduced acoustic glass for the windshield and front windows in higher variants. These enhancements create a quieter and more refined cabin experience.
Safety
Safety has been a major focus for the 2025 Triber. Renault has strengthened the body structure by using high-strength steel in key areas, which improves crash protection. Standard safety features have been significantly upgraded. All variants now come with six airbags, up from just two in the previous base model. Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Hill Start Assist are also standard across the range, helping drivers maintain control on slippery roads and steep inclines.
Higher trims come with additional safety features such as a reversing camera, tire pressure monitoring, and automatic headlamps with follow-me-home functionality. Renault has also introduced limited Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) features in the top variant, including autonomous emergency braking and lane departure warning. These features are rare in this segment and add an extra layer of protection for families.
Technology
The 2025 Triber comes equipped with Renault’s latest Easy Link connected car system. This system allows owners to monitor their vehicle remotely through a smartphone app. It provides real-time information on fuel levels, vehicle location, and driving history.
The app also allows users to lock and unlock the car remotely, pre-cool the cabin (for automatic transmission variants), and activate the headlamps to locate the vehicle in a crowded parking area.
Another useful addition is predictive maintenance alerts. Instead of relying on a fixed service schedule, the system tracks vehicle usage and alerts owners about potential issues before they become major problems. This feature helps reduce unexpected breakdowns and improves overall ownership experience.
Pricing and Variants
Although Renault has not officially announced the prices yet, the updates are expected to come with a modest 8-10% price increase over the outgoing model. The variant lineup has been simplified to make it easier for buyers to choose the right version. There are now three trims instead of four.
The RXE is the base model with essential features, the RXT adds comfort and convenience features, and the RXZ is the fully loaded variant with all the latest tech and safety features.
This simplified approach ensures that customers get the best value without having to navigate confusing option packages. Regardless of the trim level, Renault has ensured that essential features like airbags, touchscreen infotainment, and connectivity options are included across the range.
The 2025 Renault Triber isn’t a revolutionary change—it didn’t need to be. Instead, it’s a well-thought-out evolution of an already successful formula. With its improved design, refined interiors, more powerful engine options, and enhanced safety features, it continues to be one of the most practical and affordable seven-seaters in the Indian market. For families like Mohammed Qureshi’s, it ensures that long, traffic-filled commutes remain stress-free and comfortable.
