The Renault Triber was the first sub-4-metre vehicle from the French carmaker in India. Subcompact MPV was also the first vehicle to be based on a heavily modified version of the company's CMF-A platform and right now, one of the best-selling models from Renault India. The Triber is quite a capable car and a decent choice for anyone looking to buy a compact 7-seater family car under Rs. 10 lakh. So, if you too are planning to buy the Renault Triber MPV, here are some key pros and cons you should know about before making that final decision.
1. The Renault Triber is arguably one of the best 7-seater vehicles you can buy under the Rs. 10 lakh that can actually seat 7 average-sized adults.
2. The Triber has received an impressive 4-star rating for adult occupant protection by Global NCAP.

1. The Triber might get a spacious cabin, but it lacks when it comes to quality. The materials used for the interior could have been better, and the seats could use more cushioning.
2. Even though the third row is spacious enough to fit two adults, it's only suited for a short distance, and might get a bit uncomfortable during long journeys.

3. While the Triber has scored a 4-star safety rating, the middle second row passenger only gets a lap belt, and the seatbelts at the third row are not retractable.
4. The Triber's 1.0-litre engine is underpowered and does make a lot of noise as it gets going - typical of a 3-pot motor.
