20 June 2019

Renault is proud to have been able to seat seven on four metres

Indian automobile market is quite specific, for example, models with a length of over 4 metres are officially here full-sized and subject to extra sensitive enough to local a poor public tax. In the recent years in India are increasingly popular multi-seat MPV-style crossovers ("crossway"). Therefore, creating models for local market, even the world's leading automakers have to move around to suit the tastes of local customers, but still stay within the constraints of cost.

A characteristic result of this work was, for example, presented yesterday by India unit of Renault (though in the face of the CEO of Renault, Thierry Bollore made, by the way, a sensational zayavlenie about stopping the sales of diesel models and the transition from 2022 to electric cars) 7 seater Crossman model Triber with a length of just less than 4 m (3990 mm).

What is particularly stressed chief stylist Laurens van den Acker: "We are very proud that we managed to fit in a length of less than four meters!". Width semimestny with the French design is 1739 mm, height – 1643 mm, with a wheelbase of 2636 mm and ground clearance of 182 mm, which is considerably more source parameters for modular platform CMF-A superbyudzhetnym hatchback Kwid.

From the hatchback Kwid in addition to the interior style (but in a more budget version) Triber-I also got a power unit with three-cylinder 1-liter gasoline engine (SCe 72 HP, 92 N•m) and a choice of 5-speed manual gearbox or a simple RCP Easy'R with one clutch. In view of the statements made by the Renault diesel engine on Triber will never be. The dimension of the base tire – 165/80 R14 and the surcharge – 185/65 R15. The drive, of course, only to the front wheels, but the price is announced quite friendly even for the local market – from 530 000 rupees (our currency is almost the same ₽480 400).

With three-row layout, Luggage space, of course, remain, and the roof rails to ship more than 50 kg is impossible. With folded rear row of seats volume of the Luggage increases to 320 liters, and when folded, the average – up to 625 L. For details provided capacity for a further 31 L. the package decent enough not only for India: led running lights, four PB, smart card instead of the ignition key, engine start button, ABS, rear view camera and so on.
Release Triber takes place at the factory in Chennai, and sales will start in August.

PS Despite the claims of marketers about the Renault's lack Triber "direct competitors" in India 7 seater analogues have enough, for example, this Datsun GO+ and Datsun Cross and even 9-seater Mahindra TUV300 Plus.
