Renault Triber to Get Turbo-Petrol Engine in Next Generation by 2026-27

Renault is preparing to introduce a turbo-petrol engine for the Triber in India. The current Triber, which received a facelift last year, starts at Rs. 6.29 lakh (ex-showroom). While the facelift brought several updates to the model, it did not include the much-requested turbo-petrol engine.

Key Highlights

• Renault Triber facelift launched last year at Rs 6.29 lakh ex-showroom
• Turbo-petrol engine with 99bhp and 160Nm to be borrowed from Kiger
• Next-generation Triber expected by late 2026 or early 2027

Turbo-Petrol Engine Details

The upcoming turbo-petrol engine will be sourced from the Renault Kiger. This engine is expected to deliver 99bhp of power and 160Nm of torque. The new Triber will likely offer both a five-speed manual transmission and a CVT automatic option, similar to the Kiger.

The current generation of the Triber cannot accommodate the turbo-petrol engine. Therefore, Renault will introduce this engine with the next-generation Triber. The company has not provided an official launch date for the new model.

Expected Launch Timeline

Industry sources suggest that the next-generation Triber will arrive in India towards the end of 2026 or early 2027. The new model will be based on Renault’s updated platform. The turbo-petrol Triber will be part of Renault’s plan to have seven products on sale in India by 2030.

Market Strategy and Outlook

The addition of the turbo-petrol engine addresses a key demand from Indian customers. Since the Triber’s original launch in 2019, buyers have requested a more powerful engine option. Renault aims to strengthen its position in the Indian market with this update.

The next-generation Triber with the turbo-petrol engine will compete with other compact MPVs and crossovers. It will offer more choices for customers seeking performance and versatility in this segment.
