Renault will be launching the AMT version of the car soon alongside a powerful turbocharged engine.

The automatic variant of the Triber will get a 5-speed AMT to take over the manual operation of the gearbox. With the AMT gearbox on offer, the MPV will miss out on the stick shift to get a Kwid AMT-like rotary knob to shift between modes. No other changes will be made to the car on the inside, while the only change on the outside will be an Éasy-R badge on the tailgate.

To talk of features, the Triber gets an all-digital instrument cluster, AC vents on all rows, projector headlamps, keyless entry, push-button start-stop feature, LED DRLs, and an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The AMT version is expected to get a price hike of around 50,000 INR over its manual counterpart to make it the cheapest automatic MPV on sale in the country.
