Made-In-India Renault Triber Scores An Impressive 4-Star Safety Rating In Global NCAP

The Made-In-India Renault Triber has achieved an encouraging four-star rating for adult occupants and three stars for child occupants in Global NCAP’s latest round of #SaferCarsForIndia crash tests. The Triber crossover was tested in its most basic safety specification, with two airbags. The Triber showed significant improvements from previous Renault models tested by Global NCAP.

Alejandro Furas, Secretary-General of Global NCAP said, “Renault has significantly improved adult occupant protection performance in frontal crashes compared with our 2016 tests on the Kwid. The Triber sets a strong baseline for the manufacturer, and we encourage Renault to maintain this important progress as a minimum with the goal of achieving 5-star levels of safety.”

The protection offered to the adult occupant driver and passenger head and neck was good.  Driver chest showed marginal protection and passenger chest showed adequate protection. Driver knees showed marginal protection as they could impact dangerous structures behind the dashboard. Passenger knees showed good protection. Driver and passenger tibias showed adequate protection.

However, the bodyshell was rated as unstable and it was not capable of withstanding further loadings. The Footwell area was rated as stable. The car offers standard seatbelt reminders (SBR) for driver and passenger.
