The rest of the Triber remains the same in terms of the modular three-seat layout, interior theme and dashboard layout with the 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system. It also gets a digital instrument cluster with a 3.5-inch display in the middle and up to four airbags. The Indonesia-spec Triber will also be powered by the same 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder petrol engine mated to a 5-speed manual that makes 76PS of power and 96Nm of torque.

Renault is expected to launch the Triber in India around early August with an expected price range of Rs 5 lakh to Rs 7 lakh. Here it will be positioned above the Datsun GO+ but under the likes of the Lodgy and Ertiga. Price-wise, it will be a competitor in the mid-size hatchback segment where it will rival the likes of the Maruti Suzuki Swift, Hyundai Grand i10 and Ford Figo.
