On the features front, Renault has packed the Triber with an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The second row seating offers sliding functionality with variable legroom and can be folded flat while the third row can be removed in minutes for extra boot space. Both rows get individual AC vents and there is also a refrigerator to keep your beverages cool.
