    We find out which sub-4m 7-seater offers the most value for money

    Until recently, the Datsun GO+ was the only sub-4 metre 7-seater MPV you could buy in the country. Now, however, you could also pick Renault’s latest offering, the Triber. It comes with a whole host of segment-first features and takes on hatchbacks such as the Maruti Suzuki Swift, Hyundai Grand i10 Nios, the Ford Figo as well as the Ford Freestyle.

    Here, we will be comparing the Triber with the GO+ and find out which of these MPVs suit your needs the best. While the Renault MPVs aggressive pricing helps it undercut its hatchback rivals, it competes with the budget-friendly GO+ as well.

    • Both engines currently comply with BS4 emission norms.

    • The 1.2-litre engine in GO+ is bigger but offers less power than the Renault’s 1.0-litre unit. However, the Datsun offers more torque than the Triber.
