After more than five years on sale, the Renault Triber has finally received a comprehensive update in the form of a facelift. While the mechanicals remain familiar, the 2025 Triber facelift brings a significant design overhaul, an updated interior layout, new features, and a reshuffled variant line-up. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how the new Triber compares to the outgoing model.
1. Exterior Design: A Major Transformation
Front Fascia: Bolder and More Upmarket
The front of the updated Triber looks drastically different from the older version. Renault has completely redesigned the grille, opting for a striking gloss black finish with thick diagonal slats that seamlessly merge with the new LED headlamps. Together, they create a unified light bar effect, giving the MPV a more modern and sophisticated face.
A notable addition is the sleeker 2D Renault logo, which makes its debut on the Triber facelift. The front bumper is now more sculpted, featuring a wider central air dam with silver trim, repositioned fog lamps, and vertically oriented air inlets for a sportier appearance.
Side and Rear: Sharper Details All Around
On the sides, the Triber facelift introduces new 15-inch flex wheels, gloss black door handles, and mildly tweaked body cladding. A blacked-out roof adds contrast and enhances the premium feel.
At the back, Renault has made significant visual improvements with slimmer LED tail-lamps that now have a smoked finish. A strip of gloss black trim connects the lamps, while the ‘TRIBER’ badge has been repositioned and restyled in a sharper font. The rear bumper has also been reworked for a more contemporary look.
2. Interior: New Colors, Better Layout
Dashboard and Layout Updates
Step inside, and the facelifted Triber greets you with a lighter interior theme that replaces the old black-silver color palette. The dashboard now has a more layered design inspired by the Renault Kiger, featuring a floating 8-inch infotainment touchscreen that sits higher than before. The air vents have been moved lower to accommodate this new positioning.
A decorative geometric pattern now stretches across the dash, and updated seat fabrics bring a fresher vibe to the cabin. The steering wheel also gets a refresh with the latest Renault badge at its center.
3. Features: More Tech, More Safety
The facelifted Triber isn’t just about looks — it now packs a far more extensive feature list than before. Notable additions include:
-
6 airbags as standard
-
Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
-
Cruise control
-
Auto headlamps
-
Rain-sensing wipers
-
Front parking sensors
-
360-degree camera
-
7-inch digital instrument cluster
These features make the new Triber feel significantly more modern and competitive in its segment.
4. Engine and Gearbox: No Changes Under the Hood
Mechanically, the Triber facelift continues with the same 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine. It produces 72hp and 96Nm of torque and is available with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 5-speed AMT. Fuel efficiency remains unchanged, with the manual version delivering an ARAI-certified 19kpl and the AMT offering 18.29kpl.
5. Price and Variants: Slight Premium for More Value
The facelifted Renault Triber comes with a revised variant structure, now called: Authentic, Evolution, Techno, and Emotion. The AMT option is reserved exclusively for the top-tier Emotion variant.
Pricing starts at Rs 6.30 lakh and goes up to Rs 9.17 lakh (ex-showroom). This reflects a price hike of Rs 14,000 to Rs 41,000 over the previous model, depending on the trim.
Conclusion: A Worthy Upgrade
The Renault Triber facelift is more than just a cosmetic refresh — it brings substantial improvements to design, comfort, and safety, making it a more compelling choice in the budget MPV space. While it doesn’t receive any performance upgrades, the additional features and premium styling more than justify the slight increase in price. For families looking for an affordable yet modern 7-seater, the new Triber is now an even stronger contender.
