Renault India recently announced an ambitious comeback plan, which includes the launch of seven new models and two architectures (RGEP and RGMP). Interestingly, all existing Renault models – Kwid, Triber and Kiger – will switch to the new RGMP (Renault Group Entry Platform) architecture, which debuted with the new Duster. This platform supports multiple body styles, drivetrains and powertrains including petrol, electric, hybrid and CNG.
Factory-Fitted Underbody CNG Kit
With the RGMP platform enabling underfloor CNG placement, the updated Kwid, Triber and Kiger will be available with a factory-fitted CNG kit by Diwali 2026. Currently, these models are offered with dealer-level retrofitted CNG option. The underfloor CNG placement will help retain usable boot space, which is usually compromised in conventional CNG fitting.
1.0L Turbo Petrol With CVT & CNG
After a long wait, the Renault Triber is set to receive the 1.0L, three-cylinder turbo petrol engine, generating power worth 100bhp and 160Nm of torque. It will be available with two gearbox options – manual and CVT. The factory-fitted, underbody CNG kit will be offered with the turbo petrol engine as well.
Similar Updates For Nissan’s Version
While there is no official confirmation yet, Nissan’s version of the Renault Tribe might also receive similar updates. This means the MPV could get the turbo-petrol engine and a factory-fitted dual-cylinder CNG setup placed under the floor, thereby freeing up the boot space.
Renault Triber Prices & Specs
Currently, the Triber is available with a 1.0L, 3-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine, paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT gearbox. This motor pushes out a maximum power of 72bhp and 96Nm of torque.
The MPV lineup is available in four trims – Authentic, Evolution, Techno and Emotion, priced between Rs 5.76 lakh – 8.60 Rs lakh (ex-showroom). Key features include a 7-inch TFT digital instrument cluster, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, cruise control, day/night IRVM, an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, rear camera, and more.
