Nissan’s Magnite are going to be the primary production car to feature the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine that we first saw at Auto Expo 2020, but it’ll not definitely be the last. Not only will this engine even be utilized in the upcoming Renault Kiger (Magnite’s Renault counterpart), but the French carmaker plans to place it within the Triber sub-4m MPV also .
The engine, in its naturally aspirated form, already exists within the Renault Triber where it makes a rather modest output. the overall consensus around this engine was that while it does enough to deserve an area within the engine bay, a turbo-petrol version would add zing to the Triber’s performance.
Engine Performance :
| Displacement | 1.0-litre naturally-aspirated | 1.0-litre turbocharged |
| Power | 72PS | 100PS |
| Torque | 96Nm | 160Nm/152Nm |
| Transmission | 5-speed MT | 5-speed MT/ CVT |
| Claimed Fuel Efficiency | 18.75kmpl | 20kmpl/17.7kmpl |
The claimed efficiency figures are of the Magnite, where the output of the turbo-petrol engine isn’t only greater, but it also returns better fuel efficiency.
With the turbo-petrol engine, we expect the Triber to be offered with bigger wheels, something we saw at Auto Expo 2020. Not only that, Renault could also prefer to update components like the brakes to account for that 28PS increase in power and near-doubling of the torque. Renault did showcase a special variant of the Triber that had a dual-tone paint scheme, more premium interiors, and bigger 16-inch alloy wheels. These are all things that Renault could prefer to offer with the Triber Turbo
The Renault Triber Turbo are going to be launched after the Kiger. The sub-4 metre SUV from Renault has been spotted multiple times in camo and is probably going to be launched in early-2021, right after Magnite. The Triber should be next in line, with a launch expected sometime around mid-2021.
