Transmission choices could include a 6-speed manual and a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic. The same powertrain will also power the Bigster 7-seater SUV.

Renault will give significant makeover to its entry-level products including the Kiger and Triber MPV. The new Renault Kiger has already been caught testing on the Indian roads. It will retain the original silhouette, but significant design changes will be made. The SUV is expected to receive a newly styled front fascia with a revised grille and split-headlamp setup. It could get revised C-shaped tail-lights, new alloy wheels and new bumpers.
The cabin is likely to receive significant changes in the form of revised dashboard layout, new touchscreen infotainment unit, new upholstery for seats, a digital driver's display and many more. The small SUV is likely to retain the existing engine options including a 1.0L 3-cylinder NA petrol and a 1.0L 3-cylinder turbo petrol.
The new Renault Triber is also expected to receive few design tweaks; however, major changes are expected inside the cabin. It is likely to get a new dashboard layout with a bigger touchscreen unit, a new digital driver's display, automatic AC, new upholstery and many more. The existing model is available with a 1.0L 3-cylinder NA petrol engine. Renault could add the 1.0L 3-cylinder turbo petrol engine in top-spec variants of the Triber.
Renault was planning to launch a heavily localized version of the Dacia Spring EV (Kwid EV), which is based on the CMF-A platform. However, media reports suggest that the company could introduce an electric SUV in the country. A Duster-sized EV can't be ruled out.
