The Renault Triber has been one of the go-to options while considering an entry-level seven-seater. For 2024, the French manufacturer has updated this car to keep it in contention with the competition.

What are those changes? Well, you need to get inside the car to find that out because the Renault Triber remains unchanged on the outside. To begin with, it now gets a six-way manually adjustable driver seat that works like a charm. If you were a six-footer and stayed away from the Renault all this while on that account, fear no more; the new adjustable seat will accommodate tall people. I am five-foot-eight-inch and I like to drive in a low, stretched position which I was able to do in comfort. Renault have also been kind enough to throw in an arm-rest for the driver, although it felt put together hurriedly.

One of the three places most of us look at while driving, apart from the road ahead and the mirrors, is the instrument cluster behind the steering wheel. So, to elevate that experience, Renault have given the Triber a striking new seven-inch TFT display. The interface is vibrant and has been put together rather beautifully. It gets a dash of blue with a digital speed display at the centre and a semi-circular speedometer that encompasses the speed display. It took us a second to find the tachometer, which was positioned on the right side, designed like a temperature gauge and hidden from sight. Maybe, the design team had a second thought about this. Positioned outside the TFT display, on the left, is the temperature gauge, while on the right side is the fuel level display.

Part of the revamp is a wireless charger as well, an easily accessible charging slot in front of the gearbox near the cubbyhole. No need now to carry your cables and fidget with them. Or, maybe, you will have to. The Triber gets wireless charging but, sadly, it gets neither wireless Android Auto nor Apple CarPlay, which means the cables have to be there anyway if you want to listen to Spotify or access Google Maps.

Now, the rest of the car, as mentioned earlier, stays the same. I will take this moment to appreciate the fantastic ride quality and the suspension damping I experienced while driving it. Bad roads were like a breeze to get through. The remainder of the interior is the same, space being the focus of the car. Powered by the naturally aspirated, 1.0-litre, three-cylinder engine, the car makes 72 hp and 96 Nm of torque, paired with a five-speed gearbox.

The Renault Triber RXZ in its manual transmission guise demands a price of Rs 8.23 lakh (ex-showroom). For that price, the seven-seater is an amazing proposition. True, the fit-and-finish could be better, but you get what you pay for and on that count it is unmatched.
