Engine Displacement: 999 cc
The Renault Triber is powered by the 1.0-litre BR10 "Energy" engine. This dual-overhead camshaft (DOHC) 3-cylinder unit is optimized for fuel efficiency and low-end utility. While it lacks a turbocharger, it utilizes dual variable valve timing to extract the most out of its small displacement, particularly in stop-and-go urban traffic.
Max Power: 71.01 bhp @ 6,250 rpm
With a peak power output of 71 bhp, the Triber is designed as an efficient people-mover rather than a performance vehicle. The power delivery is linear, though it requires higher revs to maintain momentum when the vehicle is carrying a full load of seven passengers.
Max Torque: 96 Nm @ 3,500 rpm
The Triber produces 96 Nm of torque, which is relatively modest for a 7-seater. However, the 5-speed gearbox is short-geared to compensate, helping the car pull from low speeds. The torque peak arrives at 3,500 rpm, necessitating frequent gear shifts during highway overtakes.
0-100 km/h: 15.35 Seconds
In performance testing, the Triber clocks a 0-100 km/h sprint in approximately 15 to 16 seconds. While it is one of the slower vehicles in the broader MPV segment, its lightweight kerb weight of just 947 kg prevents it from feeling overly sluggish in city conditions.
Top Speed: 140 km/h
The Triber has an electronically governed top speed of approximately 140 km/h. Beyond 120 km/h, the 3-cylinder engine begins to feel strained, and wind noise increases significantly due to the boxy MPV silhouette.
