Renault Triber’s Safety Takes a Hit in Africa
The Renault Triber, a popular car made in India, recently got a disappointing 2-star safety rating in Global NCAP crash tests for Africa. This is surprising because the same car got a better 4-star rating in India in 2021. But the tests have gotten stricter since then, which helps explain the lower score.

Adult and Child Safety Concerns
The Triber received 2 stars for both adult and child safety. While the car protects the driver’s and passenger’s head and neck well, the driver’s chest isn’t as protected in crashes. Also, the car’s structure isn’t very strong, which could be a problem in serious accidents.
One big worry is that the Triber doesn’t have side airbags, even as an option. It also doesn’t have a feature called Electronic Stability Control (ESC), which could help prevent accidents.

Child Safety Falls Short
For child safety, the Triber is missing important parts like ISOFIX anchors for car seats. In tests, a dummy representing a 3-year-old child wasn’t protected well in head-on crashes. However, a dummy representing a 1.5-year-old child was protected well in tests.
Other problems include not having enough seatbelts that go over both shoulders and not having a way to turn off the passenger airbag when using a rear-facing car seat. These issues all contributed to the low score for child safety.

Understanding the Results
It’s important to note that these tests were done specifically for the African market. The Triber sold in India might have different features.
This news is a reminder that car safety can vary depending on where you are and when the car was tested. It’s always a good idea to check the latest safety ratings before buying a car.
