We recently toured Nissanâs manufacturing plant near Chennai and learnt what goes into the making of a new model
Nissan India has been on quite a roll in recent times, especially with its latest offering, the Magnite sub-4 metre SUV. It s equipped with various features and offered at competitive prices from Rs 5.49 lakh (ex-showroom). Besides, it’s already garnered over 32,800 bookings since its launch in December 2020. But have you ever wondered what goes into the making of a sub-4metre SUV?
We already know after a new model’s design is approved, the next step in its creation is production. Nissan India had us over at the RNAIPL plant in Oragadam, near Chennai, to take a look at the various processes. It’s also where its counterpart, the Renault Kiger, as well as the Duster, Kwid, Triber, and the Datsun Go, Go+ and Redi Go are produced.
Triber Turbo launch deferred from 2021 to 2022.
It will utilise the 100PS 1.0-litre turbo-petrol motor from the Kiger/Magnite.
Midlife facelift could see feature additions and cosmetic upgrades.
Triber is priced between Rs 5.20 lakh and Rs 7.50 lakh.
Triber Turbo could command a premium of Rs 1 lakh over standard model.
The Renault Triber is a practical MPV offering decent space for seven thanks to its modular layout which allows you to carry a combination of people and luggage. The weak link in the package, though, is its 72PS 1.0-litre naturally aspirated engine. Thankfully, Renault will be introducing a turbo-petrol engine, but its launch has been deferred from 2021 to 2022.
