What's the story

Renault has postponed the launch of Triber's turbo-petrol variant in India to 2021. The model is set to arrive after the debut of the Kiger compact SUV. The company wants to introduce the new 1.0-liter turbo-petrol engine option with the Kiger instead of an existing model. The motor is essentially a derivative of Nissan's 1.3-liter turbo-petrol unit used in the Duster and Kicks.
