Japanese 7-Seater Launch
Currently, we have the Renault Triber as the most affordable 7-seater in India. The MPV is priced between Rs 6.76 lakh & Rs 10.02 lakh (on-road, Mumbai). However, one of the popular Japanese brands – Nissan, is set to launch its own version of the Triber! This will be the second product-sharing for these brands after the Kiger-Magnite duo. Talking of which, Nissan will be launching the new 7-seater tomorrow, dated – 18th of December 2025. Also, the SUV is expected to be priced either similar to the Triber or slightly premium than the Renault 7-seater! So, what exactly should we expect from the upcoming Nissan 7-seater?

Design & Features
The Renault Triber has recently received a minor facelift in India. With a facelift, Renault made some minor changes to the exterior & the interior. For Nissan, expect a similar design language. The exterior, excluding the bumpers, front grille and alloy wheels, is expected to remain identical. Similarly, the overall dashboard layout & the cabin are also expected to remain unchanged. However, it could get a different design for the steering wheel & could come with a different interior shade.

The Triber itself is not the most feature-loaded MPV, as practicality is the focus. Similarly, the Nissan 7-seater will focus on practicality. It will be offered with a 7-seater configuration, with the option to remove the last row seats for better boot space. And even with the third row in place, the Triber offers decent space for all 7 passengers, and the same will be the case with the Nissan MPV as well. In terms of features, the MPV is expected to come with – LED Headlamps, cruise control, 7-inch TFT instrument cluster, cooled glovebox, 6-speaker sound system, 8.0-inch touchscreen system, and more!

In addition to the shared elements mentioned, the powertrain will also be a common factor between the two. The Triber comes with a sole 1.0-litre NA petrol engine (71bhp & 96Nm) that can be opted with either a 5MT or 5AMT gearbox option. A similar configuration will be offered with the Nissan 7-seater! That said, each detail of the MPV will be unveiled at its launch tomorrow.
