The Renault Triber is a compact multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) designed to meet the needs of Indian families. Its modular seating ͏arrangement͏, accommodating up͏ ͏to ͏seven ͏͏passengers, and a͏ ͏͏9͏99͏c͏c͏͏ petrol ͏engine delivering 53k͏͏Wpower make i͏͏t͏͏ a ͏versatile choice͏ for urban and ͏suburban ͏͏͏commutes.
Safety, ͏͏a͏ paramount͏ concern ͏͏for potential buyers͏, is ͏assessed͏ through ͏programmes ͏like͏ ͏t͏͏he Global New Ca͏͏r ͏͏Assessment Programme (NCAP), that evaluate vehicle ͏safety features. The Triber safety rating reflects Renault’s focus on balancing affordability and safety, making it a practical option for budget-conscious consumers.
Renault Triber: A brief history
Since its debut, the Triber has carved a niche in the Indian automotive market. Built on the Renault–Nissan CMF-A+ platform, it shares design elements with models like the Renault Kiger and Nissan Magnite. Launched in 2019, the Triber’s emphasis on space optimisation, affordability and fuel efficiency has boosted its popularity among practical buyers.
Renault Triber Global NCAP safety ratings
Safety has been a significant consideration in the Triber’s design. In June 2021, the Global NCAP conducted crash tests on the vehicle. T͏͏h͏͏e Renault Triber Global NCAP rating was:
- Adult occupant protection: The Triber secured a 4-star rating, scoring 11.62 out of 17 points.
- Child occupant protection: The safety rating of Renault Triber was three stars, scoring 27 out of 49.
Renault Triber adult occupant protection rating
The Triber car safety rating was four stars for adult occupant protection in the crash tests. Key ͏finding͏͏͏s ͏include:
- Frontal impact performance: The driver and front passenger demonstrated good protection for the head and neck. Chest protection was rated adequate, while knee protection was deemed marginal due to potential contact with hazardous structures.
- Structural assessment: The bodyshell was classified as unstable, indicating a limited ability to withstand additional loading in more severe collisions.
Renault Triber child occupant protection rating
The Triber NCAP rating for child occupant protection was three stars.
- The vehicle is not equipped with ISOFIX anchorages for secure child seat attachment.
- The child dummy exhibited excessive forward movement during the frontal crash test, indicating inadequate restraint.
- The lack of side airbags and stronger child restraint systems highlights areas for improvement.
