Renault India has today launched its much-awaited 7-seater utility vehicle Triber in India at a starting price of Rs 4.95Â lakh. The top-spec trim of this Maruti Suzuki Swift and Hyundai Grand i10 rival is priced at Rs 6.49 lakh. The Triber is based on a slightly modified version of the Renault Kwid’s CMF-A platform. With these prices, it will find its place in-between the Kwid and the Duster in Renault’s portfolio in India. Though the Triber is a seven-seater offering, its USP lies in the fact that its third row can be completely removed to transform this car into a five-seater with a massive boot-capacity of 624-litres.
