Renault Triber ARAI Fuel Efficiency Revealed! How Does It Compare To Ertiga, GO+?

The Renault Triber and its specifications have been revealed ahead of its launch later this year. It is powered by a 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder petrol engine that will be available with both a 5-speed manual transmission as well as a 5-speed AMT. There will be no diesel engine on offer. Here’s how the Triber fares against the Datsun GO+ and Ertiga petrol-MT in terms of engine specifications:

The upcoming Renault Triber will be the most fuel-efficient petrol-powered MPV. Surprisingly, its petrol-AMT powertrain is even more fuel efficient than the manual version by 0.5kmpl. It does have the smallest engine, but it still makes more power than the GO+’s 1.2-litre unit. The Datsun GO+ is the lightest of the lot, gets the least power and is 0.17kmpl less efficient than the manual Triber.

Maruti’s Ertiga is the largest car here with the biggest engine that also makes the most power and torque. At the same time, it’s also the heaviest and yet is only 0.66kmpl less fuel efficient than the manual variant of the Triber. However, the AT variant of the Ertiga is considerably less efficient than the AMT Triber, doing 1.81 kilometres fewer per litre of petrol.

The Renault Triber is expected to be launched in the second half of 2019 with prices likely to start under Rs 6 lakh. While the Datsun GO+ is also a sub-4m 7-seater MPV, the Triber is looking to offer a more premium experience along with a first-in-segment modular seat arrangement. Meanwhile, the Maruti Ertiga is priced over Rs 7.5 lakh and competes with Renault’s larger MPV offering, the Lodgy. As a result, the Triber doesn’t have any direct rivals and is positioned above the GO+ and below the Ertiga.
