If you are a car owner staying in a metro city, then you are always forced to make a big compromise. The compromise is between a bigger car and your parking space. You can have only one of the two, but not both!
When I was planning to upgrade from my hatchback to a 7-seater, this was the biggest dilemma that I had in my mind while finalising my new car. That’s when someone told me about the Renault Triber specifications and asked me to check out the car before finalising on anything else.
So, I booked the test drive online and was waiting in the parking lot below my apartment that day. At the scheduled time, the Renault Triber test car came in and the sales representative parked the car neatly in my parking lot without any effort.
Without even explaining a word, the most important question in my mind was answered once and for all! The Renault Triber specifications had matched perfectly with the size of my parking lot. With my biggest worry taken care of, I was now relaxed to test the car which was 50% finalised from my side.
While I was checking out the car from the outside, a new worry cropped up in my mind. I was not sure whether this sub-4-metre car can really accommodate 7 passengers, that too on long drives? On long drives you generally need more leg space and a bit more elbow room to sit comfortably.
While the exteriors of the car and all its features looked excellent, I was getting impatient to step inside. Probably sensing my impatience, the Renault representative requested me to take over the steering. I jumped on this opportunity and stepped into the driver’s seat.
As I sat in the driver’s seat, I couldn’t miss the powerful yet comfortable feel of the steering wheel and the clear view of the dashboard. What impressed me the most was the commanding view of the world outside. But this comfortable seating position raised another question in my mind. What about the rear seats? Are they equally comfortable?
So I got out of the driver’s seat and headed to the rear of the car. Sensing the reason why I got down and where I was headed, the Renault representative started explaining the modular seating arrangement.
This was one Renault TRIBER Specifications that sealed the deal for me. Within seconds the car could be converted into a 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or a 7-seater, an impossible feat indeed for any other car to achieve!
I was amazed at the ingenious use of space inside the car. As I saw the flexible rear seats, I was convinced that my family would feel relaxed and comfortable even on long drives. Even after that, I felt that there was enough luggage space available if I remove the seats in the last row. This made the car really spacious on the inside.
As mentioned in the Renault TRIBER specifications, the car came with some of the best features, safety equipment, and also an AMT mode.
As a package, the Triber looked wholesome to me and had qualified on all counts except one. The Triber starts at just Rs. 5.45 lakhs (ex. Showroom Delhi) which was much lower than the budget I was preparing for a 7-seater. While the car had severely underperformed on the price parameter, I was not complaining!
Today, after 6 months as I look back on my decision, I feel that the Renault Triber specifications are the best ones amongst all cars in India right now. Probably this is what makes the Renault TRIBER India’s favourite family car!
