The Renault Triber has always been an honest deal with one dishonest number. Seven seats, clever interior, small price. And 71bhp. Anyone who has driven a full Triber up a flyover knows the sound of an engine writing its resignation letter. This month, Renault fixes it. A turbocharged Triber is launching in September 2026, and the changes go deeper than the badge.
What the Turbo brings
| Detail | Triber Turbo | Current Triber |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | 1.0L turbo petrol | 1.0L NA petrol |
| Power | 99bhp | 71bhp |
| Torque | 160Nm | 96Nm |
| Platform | RGEP (new) | CMF-A |
| Seats | 7 | 7 |
That is 28bhp more power and 64Nm more torque, which for a 7-seater is the difference between planning an overtake and just doing it. The engine is the same unit that works in the Kiger Turbo, so it is a known quantity. The platform change to RGEP, the Renault Group Entry Platform, is the quieter but bigger story, since it sets up the car’s next few years.
The old engine is not going anywhere
Renault will keep selling the 71bhp naturally aspirated version alongside the Turbo. That keeps the entry price low for buyers who mostly do city runs with two or three people aboard. A turbo-CNG version has also been caught testing, and if it arrives, a 7-seater with turbo power and CNG running costs would be a genuinely unique thing in this market.
Why this matters beyond the Triber
Renault is in generous mode this month. Its September offers stretch up to Rs 1.30 lakh on the Duster, and we have covered the full offer list here. A stronger Triber joining that push tells you Renault wants festive season volume. For buyers, a 7-seater with proper power at Triber money undercuts every MPV above it. Pricing is not announced yet, so watch this space. For everything else arriving this month, our September launch list stays updated.
