Maruti Ertiga Vs Renault Triber: Space Comparison

Which of the two 7-seater cars offer better space on the inside? 

Renault launched the Triber in India in August this year and since then the car has been among the best-selling models for the carmaker. But is it really a worthy and a more affordable alternative to Maruti’s Ertiga. We find out in this cabin space comparison. But before that, let’s compare the exterior dimensions of the two people movers. 

Exterior Dimensions: 

• The Triber is a sub-4m MPV, while the Ertiga is a compact MPV measuring over 4m. 
• The Ertiga is the longer and taller car here. It also has a longer wheelbase and bigger boot space. 
• The Triber beats the Ertiga only in terms of width that too by a small margin.

Front Row Space: 

*Front seat adjusted for occupants that are 5’8” to 6” tall.

• The Triber, despite being the smaller car here, offers better legroom and kneeroom than the Ertiga. It also offers better ideal kneeroom. So, people with long legs would be more comfortable here than the Ertiga
• However, it’s the Ertiga, which offers better headroom and shoulder room. 
• Meanwhile, both cars have an identical front seat base length with Ertiga having a wider seat base but lower seat back than the Triber. The wider seats on Ertiga should be more supportive and accommodating than seats in the Triber. 
• All said, the Ertiga’s cabin should feel more spacious and airier than the Triber at the front. 

Second Row: 

*Front seat adjusted for occupants that are 5’8” to 6” tall.

• Both the cars offer a similar maximum knee room but its the Triber, which offers better minimum kneeroom. This means that even with the tallest of drivers at the front, the Triber will offer more kneeroom in the second row than the Ertiga.
• However, the Ertiga should be more comfortable and accommodating than the Triber in the second row since it offers better headroom, shoulder room and a wider and longer seat base. Also giving the Ertiga an edge over the Triber is its flat floor that will make the third occupant’s life easy in the second row. 

Third Row: 

• The Triber has an advantage over the Ertiga when it comes to kneeroom and the seat’s width and height.
• The third row seats of the Triber are fully removable making it a five-seater car with plenty of boot space unlike the Ertiga. 

• The Ertiga offers slightly more headroom, however, the Maruti MPV offers considerably more shoulder room, that should make it more accommodating. Rest of the parameters are more or less similar.
