If your family needs seven seats and the budget stops before ₹9 lakh, the Triber is effectively the only modern answer — and its running costs are the quiet half of the pitch. The 999cc petrol is rated at 20 kmpl, the tank is a small-car 40 litres, and consumables are hatchback-grade. In an MUV segment where the median price is ₹18.04 lakh, the Triber ranks second-cheapest of 18 models; nothing else gets cost-per-seat this low.
If your family needs seven seats and the budget stops before ₹9 lakh, the Triber is effectively the only modern answer — and its running costs are the quiet half of the pitch.

In an MUV segment where the median price is ₹18.04 lakh, the Triber ranks second-cheapest of 18 models; nothing else gets cost-per-seat this low.
The packaging is the clever bit. At 3,985 mm it stays under four metres, yet a 2,636 mm wheelbase and 1,643 mm height carve out three usable rows, and the seating is modular — the quoted 625-litre boot figure applies with the rear rows out of use, so plan luggage around how many seats you actually deploy. Ground clearance of 182 mm handles broken tarmac better than the hatchbacks it is priced against, and top trims add LED headlamps, a 7-inch digital cluster and an electronic boot release.
The compromise is under the bonnet: 72 PS and 96 Nm from the sole 1.0L petrol, sent through a 5-speed manual or automatic. At 12.4 PS per lakh, this is a car bought for seats and fuel bills, not pace — fully loaded on a highway incline you will be working the gearbox. There is also no CNG option, which its Nissan Gravite twin does offer.

Triber vs Nissan Gravite: Starts at ₹5.73 lakh — a near-twin that undercuts the Triber slightly and adds a CNG option (best claimed figure 19.6) for cheaper running. See the Nissan Gravite.
The Triber wins on arithmetic, not excitement: no other current model delivers seven seats, 182 mm of clearance and 20 kmpl for under ₹9 lakh. Buy it for what it is — a maximum-practicality minimum-cost tool. The sweet spot is the upper-middle of the 7-variant range, where you get the LED headlamps and 7-inch cluster without paying the full ₹8.69 lakh top-end price; the base car is best left as a price anchor.
It seats seven within a 3,985 mm footprint, so the third row suits children or short-trip adult use. The 2,636 mm wheelbase helps the middle row, and the modular layout lets you remove rear seats when you need cargo instead.
With 72 PS and 96 Nm, the Triber manages, but you will plan overtakes and use downshifts when all seats are filled. Solo or four-up city driving is where it feels most at ease.
The 999cc petrol is rated at 20 kmpl. With the 40-litre tank that works out to roughly 800 km of claimed range per fill.
The headline 625-litre figure applies with the rear rows folded or removed. In full seven-seat mode, expect only soft-bag space — the flexibility is the point, not simultaneous seats-plus-luggage.
No — it is petrol only. If CNG running costs matter, the closely related Nissan Gravite (from ₹5.73 lakh) offers it.
Yes, a 5-speed automatic is offered alongside the 5-speed manual on the same 72 PS petrol engine.
The 7-variant range spans ₹5.81 lakh to ₹8.69 lakh ex-showroom. The upper-middle variants hit the best balance — LED headlamps and the 7-inch digital cluster without top-trim pricing.
Ground clearance is 182 mm — more than most hatchbacks at this price — so speed breakers and broken patches are handled without drama.
