Meet the facelifted Renault Triber. Just unveiled in India (the country in which it’s built), the refreshed version of this 7-seater MPV is scheduled to launch in South Africa in the final quarter of 2025, the French firm’s local division has confirmed to Cars.co.za.
From what we can tell, the updates are largely cosmetic. Indeed, the most obvious changes have been made up front, where the compact MPV – which debuted globally some 6 years ago – gains a new gloss-black grille (complete with the latest take on Renault’s 100-year-old diamond-shaped logo), updated headlamps (with integrated LED daytime running lights) and a revised bumper design.
Round back and in profile, the updates are not quite as dramatic. That said, the refreshed Triber does now feature black trim between its taillamps as well as the latest Renault logo (with the “Triber” lettering now positioned below rather than above the rear numberplate) as well as newly designed alloy wheels. Three new exterior paint colours (“Amber Terracotta”, “Shadow Grey” and “Zanskar Blue”) are also now offered in India.
Inside, the updates are likewise fairly subtle. For instance, the Triber upgrades to new upholstery (featuring a black-and-grey colour combination in India), while the dashboard layout gains a design tweak or two. The MPV furthermore scores a new digital instrument cluster as well as some extra available equipment (including a 360-degree camera system and ambient lighting) in the world’s most populous nation.
Interestingly, the Boulogne-Billancourt-based automaker has seemingly opted not to make changes to the Triber’s powertrain, with the naturally aspirated 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder petrol engine (as well as the 5-speed manual gearbox and 5-speed automated manual transmission) carried over. This 3-pot motor generates 52 kW and 96 Nm, peak outputs that are delivered to the front axle.
As a reminder, the 3-row Triber hit the market in South Africa back in February 2020, with the current line-up comprising 6 derivatives (including an Express-badged panel-van variant). At the time of writing (July 2025), the range has pricing bookends of R228 999 and R264 999, with the former giving the Triber the title of SA’s most affordable 7-seater MPV.
In 2024, as many as 4 248 units were registered in Mzansi, meaning the Triber was Renault South Africa’s 3rd most popular nameplate (not far behind the likewise Indian-built Kiger and Kwid). In the opening half of 2025, a further 1 913 units were sold locally.
