Renault is set to introduce a turbo-petrol powertrain option for the Triber MPV by the end of September. With this engine borrowed from the Kiger, Renault would try to address one of the Triber’s major criticisms – its underpowered naturally aspirated powertrain. A factory-fitted CNG option will also be offered with this turbo-petrol engine.

The upcoming three-cylinder turbo-petrol engine on the Triber, codenamed HR10, is derived from the Renault Duster’s ‘HR13’ 1.3-litre four-cylinder engine, albeit with one less cylinder. This engine is offered in the Renault Kiger and Nissan Magnite, with the option of a 5-speed manual or a CVT, and produces 100hp and up to 160Nm. This is 28hp and 62Nm more than the Triber’s naturally aspirated petrol engine and is expected to address the Triber’s criticism of being an underpowered MPV. However, it will be interesting to see whether the Triber turbo comes in the same state of tune and is offered with a CVT.
A factory-fitted dual-cylinder CNG option will be offered with the same engine
Renault will also offer the Triber with a factory-fitted CNG option, which will utilise dual cylinders placed under the boot floor for space utilisation. It is expected to be offered only with a manual transmission. This dual-cylinder CNG option will also be employed in the Kiger at a later date.
The Triber’s CMF-A platform, now called RGEP, has been modified to accommodate the new powertrains.
Currently, the Renault Triber is offered with an aftermarket CNG kit that can be retrofitted to the MPV’s manual variants. It comes with a standard 3-year/1 lakh km warranty (whichever is first).
With the under-the-hood changes, the turbo-petrol-powered Renault Triber is expected to offer everything the naturally aspirated petrol version offers. The prices, however, are expected to rise from the current model’s Rs 5.81 lakh to Rs 8.53 lakh range (ex-showroom).
The Nissan Gravite, launched in February, 2026, is among the most affordable three-row MPVs sold in the country. In May, Nissan started offering the Gravite with a dealer-level CNG kit. Manufactured by Motozen, the kit is government and ICAT approved, and is available at an additional cost of Rs. 83,000.
We’ve now put the Gravite CNG through our real-world fuel-efficiency tests to see how it performs.
CNG kit available at an introductory price of Rs. 83,000.
Spare wheel is mounted underneath the boot floor.
3-year/1,00,000km third-party warranty offered on CNG components.
It is powered by the same 1.0-litre, three-cylinder petrol engine (BR10) as seen in the Renault Triber, paired to a 5-speed gearbox. It produces 72hp and 96Nm of torque in petrol mode, however, Nissan is yet to reveal the claimed efficiency and the engine’s output when run on CNG. The twin CNG tanks are stacked vertically in the boot one above the other, each with a 25-litre capacity.
In our tests, the Gravite CNG delivered 15.9km/kg in the city and 25.1km/kg on the highway, for an overall average efficiency of 20.5km/kg.
When refilled from empty, we managed to fill 7.7kg of CNG, although this can vary depending on the pump pressure and ambient temperature. Based on our average overall efficiency of 20.5km/kg, one can expect a real-world range of 150-160km on a full tank of CNG.
Autocar India’s fuel-efficiency testing
Since CNG tanks are more difficult to fill consistently due to variables such as ambient temperature and pump pressure, we did not use our standard tankful-to-tankful methodology. Instead, for our real-world tests, we emptied the CNG tank and refilled it with 2kg of CNG. We then drove the vehicle in city conditions until the gas was exhausted. The same process was repeated for the highway run. Throughout both tests, the Gravite was driven exclusively in CNG mode.
Before our real-world fuel efficiency tests, we maintain tyre pressures based on the manufacturer’s recommendations. These cars are driven in fixed city and highway loops in and around Navi Mumbai, and we maintain certain average speeds. Throughout the tests, there is only one person in each car, and the aircon is set to fan speed 2 with temperature dialed to the lowest position. We operate other electricals, such as the audio system, indicators and wipers, just like a regular user would. Periodic driver swaps further neutralise variations in driver patterns.

1. Renault Triber
Prices start at Rs 8.05 lakh
The most affordable car with front parking sensors is the Renault Triber. Only the top-end Emotion trim of this three-row MPV gets this feature, and the range tops out at Rs 8.53 lakh. The Triber is powered by a 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine that produces 72hp and 96Nm. While there is only one engine option, buyers can choose between a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT.
The Gravite is essentially Nissan’s version of the Renault Triber, with some minor cosmetic tweaks. Apart from the Renault Triber, it is the only three-row MPV under 4-meters and it’s priced from Rs. 5.73 lakh (ex-showroom). We’ve put the Nissan Gravite manual through our instrumented real-world tests to see how efficient it really is.
Misses an auto engine start-stop feature
Has a claimed fuel efficiency of 19.3kpl
Kerb weight is a light 988kg
Nissan Gravite petrol MT real-world mileage
Gets a 72hp 1.0-litre 3-cyl NA engine
Powering the Gravite is 1.0-litre, three-cylinder, naturally-aspirated petrol engine (BR10), which is also offered with the Magnite, and it makes 72hp and 96Nm. It is offered with a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed AMT automatic, the former of which we’ve tested here.
In our real-world tests, the Nissan Gravite manual returned 11.9kpl in the city and 16.5kpl on the highway, for an overall average efficiency of about 14.2kpl. While the city efficiency is decent, an auto engine start-stop feature would have boosted it further. Thanks to the taller 4th and the 5th gears, the highway efficiency is quite impressive. Ambient temperatures were also above 30degC throughout our test which affected the efficiency.
With an overall average fuel efficiency of 14.2kpl and a 40-litre fuel tank in the Gravite, one can expect a real-world range of around 560km on a tankful of petrol.
Autocar India’s fuel-efficiency testing
Before conducting our real-world fuel-efficiency tests, we fill our test cars’ tanks to the brim and maintain tyre pressures based on the manufacturer’s recommendation. These cars are then driven on fixed city and highway loops in and around Navi Mumbai, and we maintain certain average speeds. Throughout the tests, the aircon is set to fan speed 2 with temperature dialed to the lowest position, and other electricals, such as the audio system, indicators and wipers, when required – just as a regular user would. Periodic driver swaps further neutralise variations in driver patterns. At the end of each cycle, we calculate efficiency by filling the tanks to full again.
Royal Enfield ने कस्टम बाइक बनाने वाली कंपनी ‘रफ क्राफ्ट्स’ (Rough Crafts) के साथ मिलकर ‘शॉटगन 650’ का लिमिटेड-एडिशन लॉन्च किया है। इसकी कीमत 5.75 लाख रुपये (एक्स-शोरूम) रखी गई है। बता दें कि दुनिया भर में इसकी सिर्फ 100 यूनिट्स बनी हैं, जिनमें से भारत के लिए सिर्फ 25 यूनिट्स ही तय की गई हैं। वहीं, स्टैंडर्ड टॉप-स्पेक शॉटगन 650 की कीमत 4.16 लाख रुपये है, यानी इस लिमिटेड-एडिशन के लिए 1.59 लाख रुपये ज्यादा देने होंगे, जबकि अंदरूनी तौर पर (मैकेनिकल रूप से) यह बाइक वैसी ही है।
यह बात इसलिए भी अहम है क्योंकि रजिस्ट्रेशन तो अभी शुरू हो रहे हैं, लेकिन भारत में सिर्फ पहले 25 खरीदारों को ही यह बाइक मिल पाएगी। इसलिए इसमें दिलचस्पी रखने वालों के लिए बजट से ज्यादा सही समय पर बुकिंग करना जरूरी है। आइए जानते हैं कि यह एडिशन किस तरह अलग है और स्लॉट खत्म होने से पहले इसे कैसे बुक किया जा सकता है।
यह इसे अलग कैसे बनाता है?
यह बाइक सीधे ‘कैलिबर रॉयल’ से प्रेरित है, जो एक खास कस्टम बाइक है। इसे सबसे पहले Rough Crafts ने EICMA 2025 में दिखाया था और बाद में भारत में Motoverse 2025 में भी पेश किया गया था। इसमें ग्लॉस जेट ब्लैक और मैट स्टील्थ ब्लैक पेंट स्कीम है, जिस पर हाथ से लगाई गई गोल्ड लीफ डिटेलिंग और ग्रे एक्सेंट हैं। साथ ही, इसमें पार्टनरशिप को दिखाने वाला कास्ट ब्रास का बैज, अलग-अलग नंबर वाली टैंक प्लेट्स, ब्लैक बार-एंड मिरर्स, क्विल्टेड लेदर सीट, कॉन्ट्रास्ट-कट अलॉय व्हील्स और गोल्ड-फिनिश वाले फोर्क ट्यूब्स भी हैं।
इन सबके अलावा, हर खरीदार को ओरिजिनल कैलिबर रॉयल स्केच का एक नंबर वाला प्रिंट भी मिलता है, जिस पर Rough Crafts के फाउंडर विंस्टन येह के साइन होते हैं।
इसे कैसे खरीदें?
रॉयल एनफील्ड ऐप और वेबसाइट के जरिए दुनिया भर में रजिस्ट्रेशन शुरू हो चुके हैं, लेकिन भारत में असल बिक्री 30 जुलाई को शाम 7 बजे (IST) होगी। हालांकि, इसमें ‘पहले आओ-पहले पाओ’ का नियम लागू होगा। ध्यान दे कि भारत में रजिस्ट्रेशन पूरा करने वाले शुरुआती 25 ग्राहकों को ही यह यूनिट मिलेगी।
अगर कोई भी ग्राहक बिक्री शुरू होने के समय (ड्रॉप विंडो) तक इंतजार करता है, तो उसके हाथ से यह मौका निकल सकता है। क्योंकि रॉयल एनफील्ड के लिमिटेड कोलैबोरेशन की मांग हमेशा सप्लाई से ज्यादा रही है और पिछली बार भी ऐसे ड्रॉप्स के कुछ ही मिनटों में सारा स्टॉक बिक गया था।
क्या यह मैकेनिकल तौर पर अलग है?
नहीं। Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 x Rough Crafts Edition में स्टैंडर्ड Shotgun 650 वाला ही 648cc पैरेलल-ट्विन इंजन दिया गया है। इसमें परफॉर्मेंस, सस्पेंशन या ब्रेकिंग सिस्टम में कोई बदलाव नहीं किया गया है। इस बाइक की ज्यादा कीमत सिर्फ इसके खास डिजाइन, लिमिटेड एडिशन मॉडल होने और Rough Crafts के सिग्नेचर आर्टवर्क की वजह से है। इसमें कोई अतिरिक्त मैकेनिकल फीचर या ज्यादा पावर नहीं मिलती है।
इसलिए खरीदारों को यह सोचना होगा कि क्या ₹1.59 लाख ज्यादा खर्च करना सिर्फ एक्सक्लूसिव लुक और लिमिटेड एडिशन वैल्यू के लिए सही रहेगा या फिर स्टैंडर्ड Shotgun 650 उनके लिए बेहतर विकल्प होगी।
Renault Triber: अगर आप नई कार खरीदने की सोच रहे हैं, तो यह खबर आपके लिए फायदेमंद साबित हो सकती है। दरअसल, Renault India अपने Triber MPV पर 60,000 रुपये तक की छूट दे रहा है। जो कि केवल इसी महीने तक लागू है। ये ऑफर राज्य, मॉडल ईयर, वेरिएंट और कस्टमर की पात्रता के आधार पर अलग-अलग हो सकते हैं। रेनॉ इंडिया की ऑफिशियल ऑफर लिस्ट के अनुसार, केरल में कस्टमर Triber पर कुल 60,000 रुपये तक का डिस्काउंट मिल सकता है, जबकि गुजरात में खरीदार 45,000 रुपये तक का लाभ उठा सकते हैं। ज्यादातर दूसरे राज्यों में, MY2026 मॉडल पर ज्यादा से ज्यादा फायदे 30,000 रुपये तक हैं।
इन ऑफर्स में 30,000 रुपये तक का कैश डिस्काउंट शामिल हो सकता है। इसके अलावा, ग्राहक को एक्सचेंज बोनस, स्क्रैपेज बोनस, लॉयल्टी बोनस, रेफरल और कॉरपोरेट बेनिफिट्स जैसे फायदे भी मिल सकते हैं। हालांकि, ये लाभ ग्राहक की पात्रता और लागू स्कीम पर निर्भर करेंगे।
रेनॉ ने ग्राहकों को सलाह दी है कि वे अपने शहर में लागू सही ऑफर के बारे में जानने के लिए अपने नजदीकी ऑथराइज्ड डीलर से संपर्क करें, क्योंकि ऑफर के फायदे अलग-अलग जगहों पर अलग-अलग हो सकते हैं और ये डीलर की भागीदारी और स्टॉक की उपलब्धता पर निर्भर करते हैं।
रेनॉ ट्राइबर की कीमत अभी 5.81 लाख रुपये से 8.48 लाख रुपये (एक्स-शोरूम) के बीच है। यह भारतीय बाजार में सबसे सस्ती थ्री-रो वाली MPV में से एक बनी हुई है, जिसमें सात लोगों के बैठने की सुविधा मिलती है।
पावरट्रेन और इंजन
इंजन की बात करें तो, Renault Triber में 1.0 लीटर का नैचुरली एस्पिरेटेड 3-सिलेंडर पेट्रोल इंजन दिया गया है। यह इंजन 72 bhp की पावर और 96 Nm का पीक टॉर्क जनरेट करता है। इस इंजन के साथ ग्राहकों को 5-स्पीड मैनुअल गियरबॉक्स और 5-स्पीड ऑटोमेटेड मैनुअल ट्रांसमिशन (AMT) का विकल्प मिलता है।
ट्राइबर के मैनुअल वर्जन की ARAI-क्लेम्ड फ्यूल एफिशिएंसी 20.0 kmpl तक है, जबकि AMT वेरिएंट 17.0 kmpl तक का माइलेज देता है।
फीचर्स
वेरिएंट के आधार पर, ट्राइबर में कई फीचर्स देखने को मिलते हैं। इनमें 8 इंच का टचस्क्रीन इंफोटेनमेंट सिस्टम, वायरलेस Android Auto और Apple CarPlay, डिजिटल इंस्ट्रूमेंट क्लस्टर, स्टीयरिंग पर ऑडियो कंट्रोल, पीछे की सीटों के लिए AC वेंट्स, पुश-बटन स्टार्ट/स्टॉप, कीलेस एंट्री, इलेक्ट्रिकली एडजस्ट होने वाले ORVMs और कूल्ड सेंटर स्टोरेज कंपार्टमेंट शामिल हैं।
सेफ्टी फीचर्स की बात करें तो, वेरिएंट के आधार पर Triber में स्टैंडर्ड तौर पर छह एयरबैग, EBD के साथ ABS, इलेक्ट्रॉनिक स्टेबिलिटी प्रोग्राम (ESP), हिल स्टार्ट असिस्ट, टायर प्रेशर मॉनिटरिंग सिस्टम (TPMS), रियर पार्किंग सेंसर, रिवर्सिंग कैमरा और सीट बेल्ट रिमाइंडर दिए गए हैं।
बता दें कि Renault Triber उन खरीदारों की जरूरतों को पूरा करती है जो थ्री-रो सीटिंग वाली किफायती फैमिली गाड़ी की तलाश में हैं। जुलाई 2026 के ऑफर सीमित समय के लिए हैं और ये मैन्युफैक्चरर और भाग लेने वाली डीलरशिप द्वारा तय की गई शर्तों और नियमों के अधीन हैं।
