The Triber gets a modern dashboard and AC vents for all three rows
Interiors – Renault has upped their game with respect to the quality levels in the cabin. The layout looks quite pleasing and modern. The Triber gets an all-new 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system which not only is more responsive but also high on functionality. It comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The digital instrument cluster is new too and the pizza-shaped tachometer adds a funky touch while the 3.5-inch MID screen shows vital data. The AC works very well and the car cooled in no time in this humid Goa weather. Besides the regular vents at the front, the Triber gets vents for the second row in the B-pillars along with blower control. Overhead vents are provided for the last row. Mind you, these are all AC vents and not just blowers.

The second row gets reclining seats
All three rows of seats are reasonably spacious and offer great comfort with adequate legroom and kneeroom
The front seats are comfortable and offer good side bolstering. There is enough legroom and kneeroom. Under thigh support is average here. The second row is also comfortable to sit in and can be reclined too. This row can be folded in 60:40 ratio to increase storage space. Moreover, this row has a wide range of travel which assists in improving the legroom for the last row. When nobody is seated behind, you can move the seat all the way back and stretch your legs. Since the rear door opens by almost 90 degrees, ingress and egress to the second and third rows is really easy.

The last row is suitable for children & adults for short journeys
Surprisingly the last row is reasonably comfortable. However, because the seat is placed much lower, you sit with your knees up. Legroom is just about adequate, and not only children, but even adults can also find comfort here. Headroom is a bit tight for six-footers. Boot space with all the seats up is a mere 84-litres but if you want to increase the space, the last row splits, folds down and can even be removed entirely. With the last row out, boot space is a whopping 625-litres which is by far the largest for any sub-4-metre car in the country.

Quality levels are good with a lot of storage spaces
The cabin is extremely practical & comes with a touchscreen infotainment system
There are numerous storage areas in the cabin. At the front, you have two large gloves boxes, one of them being cooled. You also get a cooled compartment between the front seats. There is plenty of storage available in the central console along with door pockets in all the 4 doors.

The compact petrol engine has allowed Renault to extract more space in the cabin
One has to wonder, how Renault has managed to pack seven seats in a sub-4-metre car. To start with, Renault has compacted the engine bay. There will be no diesel option in the Triber which has enabled Renault to save space as petrol engines are smaller and more compact. In fact, come April 2020, Renault will be doing away with diesel powertrains across its entire lineup, Duster included. Secondly, Renault has gone for a theatre arrangement of the seats, which means each row is relatively higher than the previous, thereby saving on horizontal space.
