Renault Triber, the upcoming 7-seater from the French carmaker is all set to go on sale in India tomorrow, on August 28. It's the second MPV model from the company after the Renault Lodgy, and the first sub-4 metre 7-seater model from Renault India, but instead of identifying it as an MPV, the French automaker is calling it a premium hatchback with a unique twist. It's based on the same CMF-A platform as the Renault Kwid, and it comes with several segment-first features as well, especially inside the cabin, and here we'll tell you all about them.

The third row can be converted into a sixth or seventh seat, or removed altogether for more cargo space
The Renault Triber comes with a segment-first modular third row, what Renault calls, the Easy Fix, which allows you to convert the Triber into a 7-seater, 6-seater or a 5-seater within a couple of minutes, and without the need for any kind of tools. To remove the third-row seats, all one has to do is just push and remove the backrest down, pull the cord underneath the seat, and slowly pull the seat out of the anchor points. Thus, the 7-seater Triber can be converted into both, a 6-seater with 320 litres of boot space or a 5-seater with 625 litres luggage space. The second-row seats come with 60-40 split and the passenger side seat even topples down completely offering easy access to the third row, which also comes with three-point seat belts.
