Turbo Engine

Renault recently showcased the 1.0-litre turbo and 1.3-litre turbo engine at the Auto Expo 2020. The 1.0-litre turbo-petrol is a three-cylinder unit and will be shared by a range of Nissan and Renault vehicles. The engine will be tuned for two states- 100 bhp / 160 Nm and 115 bhp / 180 Nm. The engine with the lower state of tune will be mated with five-speed transmission while the one with more power will be mated with six-speed transmission. The Renault Triber turbo will be equipped with a lower state of tune for better fuel efficiency. Alongside the engines, Renault also showcased the AMT version of the Triber. However, the AMT will be launched after the 1.0-litre turbo.

At present, the Triber is equipped with the BS6 compliant 1.0-litre naturally aspirated three-cylinder petrol unit. The engine produces around 71 bhp max power at 6250 rpm and 96 Nm peak torque at 3500 rpm. Considering the power, the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol produces around 28 bhp more power than the naturally aspirated 1.0-litre engine. The present engine is mated to the five-speed manual transmission, however, the Renault Triber turbo will have an option of five-speed AMT gearbox as well. The braking duty is managed by the disc brakes at front wheels and drum brakes at rear wheels. It gets 15-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels on the top variant.
