The Tribe Grows

GROWING THE TRIBE IS A GOOD THING SOMETIMES. SOME THINGS are just easier. The new Triber Easy-R is the automated version of the popular expanded hatch-MUV crossover. It still seats up to seven occupants and feels phenomenal on the road and not just for a car of its price. Normally, I tend to discuss power first and price later. However, in this day and age, when money has lost its value and value has lost its meaning, there are few things that make sense any more. And the Renault Triber makes sense. It’s compactof cargo to five occupants’ weekend baggage or even six occupants and a large dog. With the “Easy Fix” removable third row comprising two individual folding seats, the practicality is immense. And all this starts from just Rs 4.99 lakh for the manual variant and Rs 6.26 lakh for the Easy-R automated one. This RXZ Easy-R costs Rs 7.30 lakh, ex-showroom, of course. But name one seven-seater automatic car that gets a quality interior, removable third row, key proximity sensors, and keyless entry and go, all in less than Rs 10 lakh on-road — go on, I’ll wait.
