Renault Triber facelift spotted again, reveals key updates despite heavy camouflage
Renault Triber is one of the key models from the French auto giant in the Indian passenger vehicle market. The MPV comes as one of the most affordable models in its segment, where Maruti Suzuki, Kia, and Toyota have their respective products in the form of Ertiga, Carens and Rumion. The Renault Triber is now gearing up for a mid-life facelift that is long due. This is going to be the most significant update for the MPV since its launch in 2019. One of the key USP of the Triber is its affordable pricing. Expect Renault to continue with that strategy even with the facelifted model, which is expected to launch later this year. A test mule of the upcoming updated version of the MPV has been spotted in Chennai, giving us an idea of the changes. As it seems, the Renault Triber MPV will come with a plethora of cosmetic changes on the exterior.
