Renault TRIBER Engine: Takes the Urban and Hilly Country Roads Easily

Image
  It has been slightly over a year now since I bought my Renault Triber. Having already clocked over seven thousand kilometres in the last year alone, I know the pulse of the car very well. I have been using the Triber for my daily office commutes and this is a self-driven car. I had opted to go for the AMT version as I knew that the traffic condition would continue to become difficult as the metro construction work races towards completion in my city. After having used the car in city traffic, I finally had a chance to travel with my family to a nearby hill station for an extended weekend. While driving inside the city I never felt that my Renault Triber engine was underpowered or a 1.2L engine should have been better, I knew its ultimate test would happen over hilly terrain. So, one fine morning, our family of four and a dog was packed in the Triber. Since we were going on a short break after almost 4~5 months, I was a bit relaxed with the luggage being carried along. Also, my kids r

Renault TRIBER AMT: A Wise Decision That Changed My Life!

Image
  That evening was just too much for me.   I had been driving for over three hours to cover a stretch of just 15 kms to reach home from work. My car was absolutely fine, and I even started on time, but the traffic on the road that day was outrageous. Halfway through the journey, I learned that the authorities had closed one key road for some metro construction work, and that it would remain shut for the next six months! My heart sank. Sitting helpless, irritated, and tired in my car, I was managing my clutch, brake, and gear continuously as the traffic was crawling at a snail’s pace. I couldn’t leave any of the three unattended as I would then be blocking the cars behind me. That’s when I saw my old classmate sitting in the car next to me. I rolled down my window and said “Hi” to him. He too seemed pleasantly surprised to see me as we had mostly chatted over the phone and had not met in person for quite some time now. I learned that he was driving for over 5 hours now as he had gone ou

Renault KIGER Design – Created for the World, Launched in India

Image
  While conceiving a new car idea, its design is the trickiest and most difficult part for any car maker.  Since every potential customer has a different viewpoint, loves different specifications, and even hates certain things, the carmakers must create a thing that is not only liked by everyone but is also adored. Only then can the car become successful, or else it is considered a mediocre performer and will fade away with time. When Renault was thinking of launching its global car, this was the primary task at hand. The Renault Kiger design must be such that it is not only liked by all but even adored. Only then the car would become successful. This was important for Renault since it had experienced a successful hat trick with its previous three launches, namely the Duster, Kwid, and the latest one being the Triber. As a result, an international team of expert designers from India and France started working on the Renault Kiger design. Since the Kiger was intended to be a global car,

Off-Roading Vehicles in India: From Brawn to Brawn + Beauty.

Image
Soon after the end of the Second World War, a new concept took root in America. With many battle-tested vehicles becoming available to the general American public for civilian use, off-roading emerged as a hot favourite hobby. These vehicles were strongly built, sturdy, and came with a raw engine power which enabled them to travel with ease over virtually any unpaved surface. Thus, was born the concept of off-roading. Soon, the rest of the world realised the joys and thrills of off-roading thus proliferating it further. India too has seen a steep rise in the number of off-roading enthusiasts in recent years. Regions like the Himalayas, the Thar desert, and a host of other catchments offered excellent opportunities to off-road. However, the dearth of suitable off-roading vehicles in India served as the biggest hindrance to the development of this activity. But soon, things changed. A host of carmakers started offering off-roading capabilities in their cars making them suitable for both

Meet the 6 Top Selling Automatic Cars in India

Image
There was a time in India when cars were considered a luxury. India has come a long way since then and now cars have become an essential part of everyday life. Along the way, cars have undergone a sea change in their technology, build quality, features, safety, and of course driving comfort. Almost every category has witnessed a dramatic change in these qualities while en route becoming a necessity. However, talking specifically about the driving comfort, then after the power steering, the most significant change to hit the Indian car market is arguably the Automatic Transmission. Automatic cars in India don’t have a very long history. While some of the imported ones came with an automatic transmission, there was hardly any indigenously made automatic car available for all these years.   The breakthrough came in the form of automated manual transmission (AMT), which helped in reducing cost thus driving up the volumes. Once considered a premium feature, today almost 1 in every 5 cars so
