The much-awaited Renault Triber facelift is finally here, and it’s bringing a fresh look along with a few smart upgrades. After years of minor updates, this is the first proper makeover for the Triber — a car known for offering 7 seats in a compact, budget-friendly package. But does the facelift really deliver on what people have been asking for?
Hello, I’m Sunil Patidar, and welcome to DailyWheels, your trusted source for everything about cars and bikes. I recently got the chance to check out the 2025 Renault Triber facelift in person, and in this article, I’m going to break down all the important changes — what’s new, what’s still the same, and what is my first impression about the new Renault Triber facelift. Let’s get started!
Fresh Changes on the Outside, But Not Too Flashy
From the outside, the new Triber looks more modern, but Renault hasn’t gone overboard. The changes are subtle and smart:
- The front grille is new, and it gives the car a fresher face.
- Both low and high beam headlights are now LED, though the indicators are still halogen.
- A new Renault logo has been added on the front, back, and key.
- Bonnet design has been tweaked slightly to fit the new logo.
- Tail lights get a minor update.
- The wheels may look like alloys, but they are actually flex wheels (steel rims with stylish covers).
There’s no shark fin antenna, and the fog lamp placement is still quite low, which might be a concern for people worried about ground clearance. But overall, the ground clearance is decent enough for Indian roads.
Practical Feature Updates You’ll Actually Use
Renault has added a few new features that are useful in real life:
- Rain-sensing wipers
- Automatic headlamps
- Keyless entry with walk-away auto-lock/unlock
- Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
- Wireless charging
The dashboard layout has been updated, and there’s a new infotainment screen that feels similar to what’s in the Renault Kiger. The steering wheel is also new with the updated logo.
No fancy stuff like a sunroof or electronic IRVM, but the focus here is on practical features, not gimmicks.
Space and Comfort Still the Triber’s Biggest Strength
One thing that hasn’t changed — and thankfully so — is the incredible space Renault has managed to offer in this compact MPV.
- Three rows of seats, with enough space even in the last row
- Removable third-row seats, just like before
- Adjustable headrests and AC vents for all rows
- 3-point seatbelts on all seats (though non-retractable in the last row)
Whether it’s a long road trip or city travel with a full family, the Triber still delivers on comfort and practicality.
Safety: A Big Step Forward
A major update in the facelift is the addition of 6 standard airbags, which is a big deal in this price segment. You also get:
- Traction control
- Reverse camera
- Front and rear parking sensors
This should definitely boost confidence for safety-conscious buyers.
Engine: Still No Turbo, Still Underpowered
Now comes the part that might disappoint some — the engine hasn’t changed.
You still get the same:
- 1.0L naturally aspirated petrol engine
- 72 HP power
- 96 Nm torque
It’s the same engine from earlier, and it still feels underpowered, especially when the car is fully loaded. The AMT version adds convenience but makes the performance feel even slower.
People have been asking for a turbocharged version or even a sunroof for years, but Renault has decided to skip both. Maybe due to cost or design limitations — but for now, this is what you get.
Price: Slightly Higher, Still Reasonable
Renault has kept the price increase minimal despite the added features:
- Starting price: ₹7.5 lakh (on-road)
- Top-end: Around ₹10.5 lakh (on-road)
- Price hike: ₹14,000 to ₹41,000 depending on the variant
Considering inflation and upgrades like 6 airbags and better lights, the increase feels fair.
Final Thoughts: Still Practical, But Needs More Power
So after checking it out in person, here’s what I honestly feel:
The 2025 Triber facelift is a smart update. Renault hasn’t added any unnecessary features — just useful upgrades like wireless phone connectivity, auto headlamps, better tires, and safety improvements.
If you’re someone looking for a spacious and budget-friendly 7-seater, the Triber still makes a lot of sense. But if you’re hoping for better performance or a more exciting drive, you might feel let down by the same old engine.
In short — it’s practical, family-friendly, and now a bit safer. Just don’t expect thrills behind the wheel.
