Renault India has added an AMT to the Triber’s kitty in all variants but the base. It’s offered in three variants -- RXL, RXT, RXZ -- and commands a premium of Rs 40,000 over its respective manual variants. Here’s a detailed price list:

	Renault Triber AMT	Renault Triber	Difference
RXE	-----	Rs 4.99 lakh	-----
RXL	Rs 6.18 lakh	Rs 5.78 lakh	Rs 40,000
RXT	Rs 6.68 lakh	Rs 6.28 lakh	Rs 40,000
RXZ	Rs 7.22 lakh	Rs 6.82 lakh	Rs 40,000

all prices, ex-showroom Delhi

The Triber AMT utilises Renault’s BS6-compliant 72PS 1.0-litre petrol engine paired with its Easy-R 5-speed AMT unit. Though Renault is yet to reveal the BS6 version’s official fuel efficiency, it had stated during its official launch in August 2019 that the Triber AMT would return 20.5kmpl.

The top-spec RXZ Triber AMT features an 8-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, digital instrument cluster, keyless entry with push-button start, manual air conditioner, power windows, electric adjustable ORVMs, and a multi-info display. On the safety front, it comes with four airbags, ABS with EBD and rear parking sensors.

The Triber’s versatility made it a strong contender among five seater alternatives such as Maruti Suzuki’s WagonR. We believe the AMT strengthens its appeal further. For a similar amount, the only other seven-seater you could consider is Datsun’s Go+ which comes with a smoother CVT, but it isn’t exactly good at seating seven. What would you pick?
