The Renault Triber Turbo has been launched in India at an ex-showroom starting price of ₹7.84 lakh, bringing a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine with 100 hp and 180 Nm of torque to the seven-seat compact MPV for the first time. Renault India announced the new Triber 100PS line-up on 28 September 2026, with prices running up to ₹8.99 lakh.
The turbo models sit above the naturally aspirated Triber and cost between ₹94,000 and ₹1.11 lakh more than the equivalent regular versions. Three variants are on offer, all with a 5-speed manual gearbox: Evolution Turbo at ₹7.84 lakh, Techno Turbo at ₹8.53 lakh and Emotion Turbo at ₹8.99 lakh. A dual-tone paint option adds ₹21,000, and a CVT automatic is listed as coming soon.
What Does the Renault Triber Turbo Offer Under the Hood?
The Renault Triber Turbo uses the HR10, a 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine that produces 100 hp and 180 Nm. That torque figure is higher than the 1.0-litre variants of the Kiger and Duster, according to launch coverage. Renault quotes a 0-100 kph time of 10.8 seconds, and the launch report cites fuel efficiency of about 21 kpl for the new engine.
Renault has also retuned the ABS and electronic stability control for the turbo version to suit the higher power output. The Triber previously earned a 4-star rating from Global NCAP, and standard safety kit includes six airbags, ISOFIX mounts, ABS with EBD, ESP, traction control, hill-start assist and a tyre pressure monitoring system.
Which Features Come With the New Triber 100PS Variants?
The higher trims carry an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, a wireless phone charger, automatic climate control with a rear blower, cruise control and push-button start. Automatic headlamps and wipers are also part of the package. Boot space stands at 625 litres with the third row folded.
How Does the Launch Change the Sub-₹9 Lakh MPV Segment?
The Triber has competed largely on space and price. Adding a turbo engine gives buyers who carry a full load of passengers a more relaxed highway option without leaving the sub-₹9 lakh price band. The move also puts the Renault Triber Turbo in a more direct conversation with pricier compact MPV options, including the Nissan Gravitas, which Autocar India names as a segment rival.
For the wider industry, the launch reflects a broader push by mass-market carmakers to bring small turbo-petrol engines down to entry-level price points. Component suppliers of turbochargers, intercoolers and calibrated braking and stability systems stand to benefit as more volume models adopt forced induction.
Market Reaction and Industry Response
Automotive trade publications including Autocar India, CarWale and Autoguideindia covered the launch on the day of the announcement, focusing on the price-to-performance proposition. The launch comes just ahead of the festive season, traditionally the strongest sales period for Indian passenger vehicles, and follows Renault India’s stated plans to expand its retail network towards 500 showrooms by the end of 2027 and to build its lineup to seven models.
What Happens Next?
The next milestone is the arrival of the CVT automatic version, which Renault says is coming soon but for which no date has been confirmed. Buyers and analysts will also watch early booking numbers and waiting periods during the festive season, and whether rivals respond with turbo or price moves of their own.
