Renault Triber Turbo Variant In The Offing

Renault has been introducing a series of updates to its lineup. In this array of updates, the Triber has got itself an updated 1.0L engine. Triber was already equipped with a 1.0L 3-cylinder engine without a turbocharger, which it now has. The turbocharged engine that the Triber gets is codenamed as HR10 internally and will be named as TCe (Turbo Control Efficiency) for the market. The 1.0L TCe engine will produce 100PS and 160Nm of peak power and torque output with the Triber.

Renault showcased the dual-tone version of the Triber with a 5-speed AMT at the auto expo.

However, there would be another version of this engine which will churn out 117PS and 180Nm as its peak power and torque output. But this state of tune will not be available with the Triber. The powerful iteration of this 1.0L turbo-petrol engine will be reserved for the upcoming Renault HBC sub-4m SUV, which will make its debut by the end of this year. Talking of the transmission, the Triber is expected to come with a 5-speed manual transmission. Will a CVT be made available with this updated engine is we are not sure of, but the 5-speed AMT will still be on sale with the outgoing 1.0L SCe engine that produces 72PS.
