After being parked for nearly two months, the Renault Triber finally went back to work with full force in the last month. Since it’s the only small big car in our long-term fleet, it’s our camera team’s first choice for a tracking vehicle or for transporting people and equipment. Not to mention, with the Triber’s seven-seat layout, we all can also maintain social distance inside the vehicle.
However, with full camera equipment and three heavy-weight people onboard, the Triber does struggle to gain momentum, especially with the aircon on full blast. However, once you get up to 50-60km/h, it doesn’t feel as ‘powerless’. So, the key is to thrash the motor in each gear and get up to speed really quickly. But this comes at the expense of fuel economy. However, more importantly, this aggressive driving style has affected my 'Eco Scoring’ (shows on the touchscreen) adversely, as my score now stands at 74 / 100. Plus, it’s given me a mediocre 3-star rating in the 'Gear shift’ category. On the upside, in 'Acceleration’, I have scored a 4, and I got a full 5 stars in 'Anticipation’. So, overall, I am happy that I haven’t completely gone down in the Triber’s estimation.
Test drive the Renault Triber yourself at any Group 1 Renault dealership!
