In a bid to support the transportation and mobility requirements of the nation’s defense forces, Renault India has announced plans to offer two of its popular models, Kiger and Triber, to the Indian Army’s Eastern Command fleet. This is not the first time the company has donated its cars to the Indian Army. Previously, Renault donated the Kiger, Triber, and Kwid cars to the Northern Command of the Indian Army.
Renault India recently unveiled the Night & Day Special Editions of the Kwid, Triber, and Kiger. The brand is aiming to offer more models in the domestic market. At the moment, Renault has a plant in Chennai that can produce 480,000 vehicles. Additionally, the auto marque has 450 service touchpoints nationwide.
Renault Triber
The Renault Triber is specifically designed for Indian families, and it comes in both automatic and manual transmission. The car draws power from a 999-cc engine that churns out power of 71.01 bhp and torque of 96 Nm. It comes equipped with a range of advanced features incorporating a 7-inch TFT instrument cluster, a driver seat armrest, a wireless charger, and power-folding ORVMs.
Renault Kiger
The five-seater Kiger SUV is loaded with modern technological features such as auto-fold ORVMs, a wireless charger, a bezel-less auto-dim IRVM, and more. The cabin is packed with a leatherette steering wheel and luxurious semi-leatherette seats. The SUV draws power from a 999-cc engine, giving 98.63 bhp power and 152 Nm of torque.
The Managing Director and Country CEO of Renault India, Venkatram M., said, “We are truly honored to support the Eastern Command of the Indian Army by providing these vehicles.
