Seven seater Renault Triber receives 4-star adult safety rating in Global NCAP crash test

Renault India's seven-seater model Triber has received a four-star safety rating for adult occupants, vehicle safety group Global NCAP said on Tuesday. The model has achieved a four-star rating for adult occupants and three stars for child occupants as per the Global NCAP's latest round of crash tests.

Vehicles are rated from zero to five based on their safety features and automobiles with a higher rating are considered safer for occupants.

"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 five-star levels of safety," Global NCAP Secretary General Alejandro Furas said in a statement.

This is a proud moment for Renault in India, as TRIBER was conceived, developed, and produced in India, for Indian customers first, before the company took it to the world, Renault India Operations Country Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Venkatram Mamillapalle noted.
