A micro glimpse at Renault’s latest

French Peek

India continues to be a country that follows inexplicable automotive trends. We are experiencing a worryingly sharp drop in automobile sales, and yet the last few months have seen a bunch of very interesting car launches, from the Tata Harrier to the Kia Seltos, and now Renault has something to offer, too, with the Triber.

Looking back, I can’t think of any car the French manufacturer has offered in India that has been a huge sales success (except the Duster). This isn’t saying it makes bad cars — the Fluence and Koleos were very nice, and the Captur has a fantastic ride quality, but none of them clicked recently in our motherland. Yeah, it happens. Well, this time around, Renault is trying something new — a 7-seater — in the hopes that our love for transporting as many humans as possible (damned be last row comfort) will work to its favour. And if it doesn’t work, I don’t know what will.
