The Triber AMT, unveiled at Auto Expo 2020, utilises Renault’s tried-and-tested 5-speed Easy-R AMT unit. It’ll be paired to the Triber’s BS6-compliant 1.0-litre engine that develops 72PS of power and 96Nm of torque. Apart from the mechanical update, the Triber AMT looks similar to the existing model. We expect the Triber AMT to hit showrooms before April 2020.
