#TriberTurbo : Coming Soon !





Renault India launched Triber in August 2019 and recently they have also started exporting the mini MPV to international markets. Renault has done a great job with the Triber by packaging 7 seats in under 4 meter which are actually usable too. And now it seems they want to address its bigger shortcoming, that of a weak motor, by launching the Renault Triber Turbo Petrol next year.

 The only downside with the Triber, as we mentioned above, is the slightly underpowered 1.0 litre 3 cyl NA engine which produces a meek 72 ps of power and 96 Nm of torque. The Triber was supposed to get a 5-speed AMT but they procrastinated and shifted the launch to next year, once BS6 emission norms kick in.




Renault recently announced that they will be launching a new variant of the Triber with a turbo petrol engine and also an AMT gearbox. The 1.0-litre turbo codenamed as HR10 is a 3-cylinder engine. However official power figures aren’t revealed yet but we expect it to produce around 95 bhp and 130 Nm of torque. The AMT variant will be added later and rumours suggest that the current 1.0 litre NA engine will be sold in lower variants and the Turbo will be given only in top variants.

Electric car? Is it the right time?

IS THIS THE RIGHT TIME FOR  ELECTRIC POWER? With gasoline prices shooting high up in sky and availability for it is reducing every time we tank up brings us to a question. Are we ready to buy an electric car? Well if you own a car already which runs on gasoline power then yes. An electric car would be the ideal option for your daily runs around the city while you use the conventional vehicle for all long drives.  Most of the people who think of buying an electric car stumble over the obstacle called range. Yes, the range is an issue for electric cars but be assured it will not kill your daily runs. The current generation electrics have a pretty good range of 200kms+ which is good enough to last you a day.  Worst case? You run out of charge?  Well, the government and many private agencies have set up DC fast charging set up. The technology has grown such that in an hour you can get 80% of your battery juiced up which is more than enough for you to reach home.

Well now the concepts may have been changed with the introduction of the new South Korean brand the KIA. KIA had recently showcased their line-up for the Indian market of which the most attractive was the KIA CARNIVAL.  Standing tall, long and wide the Carnival measures 5115 X 3060 X 1985 (mm), which is already larger than it's main rival, the Crysta.
