Throwback: Renault Sold Over 2,000 Cars In A Month In South Africa

November 2021, Renault South Africa had a rather good sales month, selling an impressive 2 081 new vehicles. The French automaker's sales figure is the eighth-best in South Africa at the time, putting it ahead of Kia, Haval, and Mahindra brands.

Renault's local portfolio has recently been expanded with the introduction of the Kiger, a small crossover that replaced the Sandero. The vehicle has all the makings to be a success in South Africa, offering buyers the chance to get into the crossover/SUV game without breaking the bank, especially when utilising Renault vehicle finance. For years now, Renault's approach has been to fill the market with affordable vehicles and simple, affordable vehicle financing. Think first-generation Duster, Kwid, and Triber.

Sales split

As expected, the Kwid remained Renault's top-selling model in South Africa. The previous month, 876 units of the small city car were sold, putting it ahead of the seven-seater Triber. These two vehicles make use of the same engine and transmissions and are among the most affordable in their respective segments.

The Duster has been around for almost a decade and continues to impress with each passing year. The robust SUV has been updated recently and offers the same value it first entered the market with. By the end of November, 2021, a total of 150 units were sold.

According to the sales data released by Naamsas, South Africa's Automotive Business Council, the Kiger and Kiger Turbo are listed as two separate vehicles. Together, the Kiger has an accumulative sales figure of 257 units. The last few units of the Sandero II are slowly moving off showroom floors, with Naamsa listing 58 units having been sold last month.The Koleos, Renault's large SUV, found 21 new owners during this single month.

Reviewed: Renault Triber AMT

An in-depth test drive review of the Renault Triber AMT

The addition of an AMT lends more convenience and also makes the Renault Triber an even better package

The Renault Triber has the advantage of being one of the most affordable 7-seaters in the Indian market today. When we drove this car last, we did come out impressed with the packaging that is offered for the price. The lack of an automatic was a negative point, but recently Renault launched the Triber AMT, and we’re driving it to find out whether it has any aces up its sleeve or not!

Exterior

No cosmetic changes have been made to the Renault Triber AMT, and it looks similar to the manual variant. Of course, there’s an Easy-R badge at the rear, but that’s about it. The Triber is a compact 7-seater and measures under 4 metres in length, and yet it manages to look very proportionate. The styling is pleasant to look at, and the design has an “offend-none” feel. Renault also offers some nice colour options with the Triber. The vehicle gets 15-inch steel rims, which have been styled to look like alloys.

Interior

The interior of the AMT variant is again similar to the manual variant, with the only change being the new gear lever and the absence of a clutch. The instrument cluster has a gear position indicator, and it beeps a warning when you shift from N to D or R without pressing the brake pedal. Renault has very smartly packaged the cabin of this 7-seater, and it has decent space in all three rows. The Triber is also decently feature-loaded, and it gets 4 airbags, ABS, touch screen infotainment system, manual AC, power windows, projector headlamps, push-button start, 4 speakers + 2 tweeters, reverse camera, 12V charging socket in the third row, etc. in the top variant which is indeed impressive. The seats are also quite comfortable and at par with other cars in this price range. Renault has also given a lot of importance to storage spaces, which are plenty in the cabin.

Performance

The Renault Triber AMT gets a 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder, petrol engine from the Energy series. It is offered on the Kwid, but it gets Dual VVT on the Triber. This engine is tuned to deliver 53 kW at 6250 RPM and 96 Nm at 3500 RPM, which is the same output as the manual variant. The engine is quiet at low revs but gets vocal after you cross 2500 RPM. It’s a small unit but pulls the car decently. The Triber now gets a 5-speed AMT which feels smoother than the one on Kwid, but yes while up shifting you do feel the head-toss movement that is generally felt in AMTs. When you’re driving fast, gear shifts can feel slow, but when you’re easy on the throttle, it feels smoother and manageable. Downshifts are a bit slow so quick overtakes on the highway need to be planned, otherwise a slow-down shift in the middle of an overtaking manoeuvre can get on your nerves.

The AMT offers decently quick and smooth shifts when you’re easy on the throttle and also gets a manual mode The AMT offers decently quick and smooth shifts when you’re easy on the throttle and also gets a manual mode

There is a manual mode too, and it makes sense to use it on inclines or sometimes to get better control of the gears while overtaking. The engine offers decent driveability in the city, but the power delivery isn’t very punchy, in fact, power is delivered in a flat manner. The Triber won’t disappoint in day-to-day runs, but you might have to take control of the gears sometimes. Renault is also working on a 1.0 turbo petrol engine, and that one should really spice things up.

Driving Dynamics

Just like other Renault cars, the Triber also comes with a very sorted suspension setup. The ride quality is really impressive, and travelling on bad roads doesn’t really unsettle the car or offer a tiring experience to the passengers. The 182 mm ground clearance comes in to be really handy. The steering isn’t as felt as some other Renault cars, and it is quite vague, but it feels very light while driving in the city. The brakes offer good bite and the brake pedal has good progression.

Verdict

The price of the Renault Triber AMT is totally worth it if you are someone who wants convenience and if you are going to drive the car in traffic regularly. This vehicle has always come across as a VFM offering. The Triber doesn’t have any 7-seater rival in this price bracket apart from the Datsun GO+ which is quite smaller in comparison and no longer available as a new vehicle.

Renault Triber vs Maruti Suzuki Ertiga Comparison

Renault released the Renault Triber in the hopes of experiencing another "Kwid" moment. The Kwid was an economical package providing amenities and an SUV-like driving experience previously only seen in larger vehicles. Renault has attempted to do the same with the Triber, but it focuses on the seven-seater MPV market this time.

In its pricing range, The Triber has no serious competitors. There are hatchbacks like the Swift and Grand i10, but you won't give the Triber a second thought if you're considering buying one of these two. However, the Triber makes sense if you're thinking of a 7-seater MPV, like the Maruti Ertiga, but don't have the money for it. 

Engine

There is no denying that the Ertiga, which has a larger engine, provides superior performance and maneuverability. The Renault car, on the other hand, is adequate for solo driving, but when all the seats are occupied, it becomes quite sluggish.

Interior

You will be pleasantly pleased once you enter the Triber. Although there are some harsh plastics to be found, the cabin has been attractively decorated, and the general fit and quality of the panels are good. Although it is a modest seven-seater, subtle details like the knurled finish around the start/stop button give the sense that Renault hasn't brazenly cut corners on luxury components.

Although the Tribe's cabin is fairly decent, it falls well short of the Ertiga's quality. The Maruti MPV features a larger, beige-decorated interior. This creates an enormous interior impression of spaciousness. The materials are also better fitted and finished than on the Triber. The beige fabric will retain sweat stains, a drawback that wouldn't be as significant with the Tribe's dual-tone upholstery. Always compare cars in India before buying any.

 

Features

You will be shocked again after reviewing the brochures for these two vehicles. There are characteristics that both of these vehicles share, features that the Triber offers solely, and features that are unique to the Ertiga. But nowhere is the difference wide enough to justify the approximately Rs 3 lakh Renault Triber price differential between these two automobiles.

Looking at the characteristics that they share. In addition, to push button start/stop, both vehicles are equipped with twin airbags, a touchscreen infotainment system with six speakers, AC vents for the second and third rows, and 12V power outlets for all passengers.

The Triber then begins to differentiate itself with features like two cooled glove boxes, two more airbags, a larger touchscreen, an LED instrument cluster instead of the Ertiga's analog one and LED DRLs.

Fog lamps, second-row seat belts that can be adjusted in height, and alloy wheels help the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga win back some points.

Verdict

If you do most of your driving in cities, the Triber is a wise choice. It can use the third row and perform all tasks that the Ertiga can in the city with relative ease. Even people who own small enterprises and occasionally need to transport small things might benefit from it. To get going, pop out of the back seats. On the other hand, if you often drive on highways, the Ertiga will suit you better. The more powerful engine will feel less taxed on lengthy drives, even when fully loaded.

How The Nissan Magnite CUV Is Made

The Renault-Nissan Automotive India plant at Chennai seems to have its hands full at the time as it is working towards boosting the production of the Nissan Magnite to lower the quite high demand especially for the base variant and on one hand make sure that another launch, Renault Kiger, does not fall behind when it comes to the overall roll-out. The focus on these offerings is essential for the Renault-Nissan alliance but they also have to make sure that they keep up the export supply, which is a good part of the French and Japanese automakers’ revenue in India.

TOI Auto got an opportunity to check the alliance plant out with the key agenda being how the Nissan Magnite comes to life and how exactly will the current production capacity help the Japanese automaker tackle a high delivery period and the high demand, especially when the Kiger has now been rolled out in the market too. And on the sidelines, Shubhankar Singh from The Times of India ended up seeing how the automakers work in harmony to create their multi-branded offerings at a good rate, how automation complements the entire production and how a few export models triggered nostalgia and he was forced to take his eyes off the Magnites and the Kigers for the moment- keep reading to find more about this model.

The Magnite was definitely the highlight of the Renault-Nissan plant at Chennai and was the most seen model apart from Renault’s Kiger and Triber. Sharing the same CMF-A+ platform, the trio- Magnite, Kiger and Triber – seems to share a lot of time on the assembly line together too.

They began their tour in the powertrain shop where they saw the HRAO 1.0-litre Turbo engine and the B4D 1.0-litre engine of the Nissan Magnite being assembled. The key highlight of this part of the tour was how the HRAO engine got the Mirror Bore Coating which has been borrowed from the iconic Nissan GT-R. The mirror bore coating ensures that the energy efficiency is not dropped due to the friction that arises in the engine.

they moved on to the stamping shop where they actually saw the automation prowess of the manufacturer as a giant pressing machine convert blanks into precise body panels of the Magnite and the other models at an enormous rate. Each body panel that comes out of the press is checked thoroughly and then supplied to the body shop. When they moved to the body shop, they saw the metal panels being put together and the extensive inspection processes each of the Nissan Magnite and other models went through.

The most exciting part of the plant was definitely the Trim and Chassis shop where they came across the final build of all the models after which they probably moved to the PDI bay. The colourful assembly lines, multi-brand models, and lots of Magnites and Kigers kept them on their toes till they ended the not-so-brief tour. The final stage of the plant tour was the recently built water wading facility where the Magnite gets tested to check for any undetectable leakages in the vehicle.

The Alliance’s manufacturing prowess

The Renault Nissan Automotive India Plant in Chennai was the first alliance plant to be built after the two automakers joined hands. Since its inception, the plant has produced around 22 models out of which 9 are still produced to date and the parts and die sets are manufactured for 17 models in total. The automakers have kept the rebadging formula going on and some of the models and their parts manufactured in the plant include Nissan Micra, Renault Pulse, Nissan Sunny, Renault Scala, Renault Duster, Nissan Terrano, Datsun Go, Datsun Go+, Renault Lodgy, Renault Kwid, Datsun Redi-Go, Renault Captur, Nissan Kicks, Renault RBC and the new entrants in the market- the Nissan Magnite and the Renault Kiger.

While the dies and parts of many cars are manufactured in the facility, it is just 10 that make it out of the final assembly line- Duster, Kwid, Triber, Kiger, Kicks, Magnite, Go, Go+, Redi-Go and Nissan Sunny. Looking at the Nissan Sunny was definitely a nostalgic experience as it was one of the finest cars to run on the Indian roads but it failed to perform well in the market despite being quite affordable in the segment.

Apart from all this, there were a few things that caught their attention and made them appreciate the automaker’s efforts probably a bit more. The first thing would definitely be the autonomous robots that keep the entire production process going with their timely supply and the second would be the safety standards adopted by the automaker despite pushing for optimum production.

Magnite’s future in the market

The Nissan Magnite is a very decent package in the market currently as it has positioned itself as one of the most affordable B-SUVs in India. With its sibling and rival, the Kiger, undercutting it by around Rs 4000, the fight will be tough and it will all come down to the looks, features and aftersales experience the automakers offer with their respective models.

The Magnite definitely has made a name for itself in the market as an easy-going SUV and even during their test drives the HRA0 1.0-litre turbo engine and the refined 5-speed Xtronic CVT gearbox managed to impress them the most. Though they were looking forward to an alternate powertrain in the B-SUV, the automakers, for now, have cleared that the Magnite is highly unlikely to feature any alternate powertrain and it all depends on the demand and the market inclination in the future.

Renault Triber Long-Term Month-To-Month Reports

During its 10-month stay with this reviewer, the Renault Triber did its job in a commendable manner and, suffice it to say, without any real niggles. The Triber isn’t just about clever space management though, it’s also a very comfortable vehicle.

Long Term Report: October 2020 (End of Term)

I primarily used the Triber for my daily commute to the office and back home – a run of 56km – along with some occasional road trips to the hills. And in all those months, I’ve really enjoyed its company. Mind you, by ‘enjoyed’, I don’t mean it’s exciting to drive in any way – it’s more of a compliment for its practicality, comfort, and fuss-free nature. First and foremost, the Triber is a proper seven-seater. Initially, I used to think it was a marketing ploy. But, no, as the days went by, I realised that it’s very spacious and comfortable – even in the third row, you’ve ample legroom and headroom (thanks to the cleverly scooped-out roof). You even get your own AC vents. Yes, in a sub-`8 lakh car! In addition to the space for passengers, it also has a very practical cabin – you’ve lots of storage pockets everywhere in the cabin, and there’s a cooled storage compartment as well.

The Triber isn’t just about clever space management though, it’s also a very comfortable vehicle. The ride quality is pliant, and it has typical sturdiness and road manners that you’d associate with expensive Renault cars like the Duster. However, it doesn’t feel crude or basic inside. In fact, its quality and fit-and-finish are more than decent. The Renault Triber is also well-equipped. The infotainment system is one of the best in the market. It’s large, intuitive, lag-free, and comes with Android Auto and Apple Car Play. Speaking of useful features, it also has projector headlamps, which are very good. I also quite like the design of the car – it’s a very pleasant-looking car. And those faux alloy wheels, well, that’s another smart touch. It won’t be wrong to say that the Triber looks more expensive than it really is, and I believe, the Triber’s aesthetics are one of its main USPs.

The 1.0-litre three-cylinder powertrain is a mixed bag. During daily driving or even during long drives, it felt underpowered. The low-end is weak, but the mid-range is more than adequate for daily duties or even occasional highway runs. What’s more, it’s quite refined at mid-revs, and the cabin is well-insulated. At high revs – above 4,500rpm – the engine does sound coarse, and there isn’t much juice to extract as well. The problem arises while driving with more people/load and AC turned on full blast, for the whole task becomes a bit laborious, especially in the city. On the highway, once you’re doing speeds above 80km/h, there’s no problem, as the Triber cruises comfortably, regardless of the number of people on board. The high-speed stability is also very good. Having said that, a bigger engine will definitely make the Triber more complete.

The build quality of the car is, surprisingly, very impressive, too. In the last 10 months, we haven’t witnessed any rattling panels or unwanted noises in the cabin. 

Overall, the Renault Triber MPV is nearly a perfect car for its price. It's spacious, comfortable, feature-packed, efficient, and, most importantly, very easy and pleasant to live with.

Long-Term Report: September 2020

Last month, the Triber’s radiator fan stopped working due to a blown fuse. It was fixed by Renault service quickly. However, when the car came back, the USB port stopped functioning. 

I thought it was a blown fuse again, and being the qualified engineer that I am, I turned it into a DIY assignment since I had nothing better to do. However, the access to the fuse box is really complicated in the Triber (inside the glove box), and you can’t pull a fuse out with your hands – you need to have a pair of pliers. After hopelessly trying to fix it myself for nearly half a day, I gave up and rang the folks at Renault service. They reverted promptly, sending a technician to my place the very next morning. It was fixed in just 5 minutes. The issue wasn’t a blown fuse, in fact, it was a loose connection. All I can say is that it isn’t funny to be proved wrong every now and then as an engineer, you know. The car is now running fine, and it’s back to being a fuss-free and comfortable daily runabout. It’s also hit 10,000km, meaning a service is due soon.

Long Term Report: August 2020

As soon as the lockdown ended, the very first thing I did was to drive down to where I would spend some time with my family. It was a leisurely 250km drive in the Triber. The weather was nice and the roads were empty. Everything went smoothly. Upon reaching my destination, I was quickly put into home quarantine for two weeks, meaning no driving or stepping out. Sadly, I managed to drive the Triber again only when it was time to come back home. 

When I reached home, it was pouring – which is another way of saying that our roads had turned into large water-harvesting reservoirs of sorts. Unfortunately, I drove the Triber through a heavily waterlogged street, and while it came out unscathed, the radiator fan suffered a blown fuse and stopped working. I realised this the next day as the AC kept tripping and the temperature gauge shot up. I called the Renault service, and it was fixed rather promptly. However, after the car came back from service, the USB port stopped working – I am hoping it’s just another blown fuse and nothing else.  

Long Term Report: July 2020

After being parked for nearly two months, the Triber finally went back to work with full force in the last month. Since it's the only small big car in our long-term fleet, it's our camera team's first choice for a tracking vehicle or for transporting people and equipment. Not to mention, with its seven-seat layout, we all can also maintain social distancing inside the vehicle. 

However, with full camera equipment and three heavy-weight people on board, the Triber does struggle to gain momentum, especially with the aircon on full blast. However, once you get up to 50-60km/h, it doesn't feel as 'powerless'. So, the key is to thrash the motor in each gear and get up to speed really quickly. But this comes at the expense of fuel economy. However, more importantly, this aggressive driving style has affected my 'Eco Scoring' (shows on the touchscreen) adversely, as my score now stands at 74 / 100. Plus, it's given me a mediocre 3-star rating in the 'Gear shift' category. On the upside, in 'Acceleration', I scored a 4, and I got a full 5 stars in 'Anticipation'. So, overall, I am happy that I haven't completely gone down in the Triber's estimation.  

Long Term Report: June 2020

In spite of some lockdown relaxations now, going out isn’t an option for me. This is because the border between where I stay and the office is still sealed. However, a couple of days ago, I was fortunate enough to take the Triber out on a cross-border expedition, as I had to drop a friend at the airport. It was after nearly 80 days that I was driving the Triber again! 

The drive turned out to be a very pleasant affair – after being caged for over two months, getting to drive a car back on open roads again felt so gratifying. Plus, there was virtually no traffic, so that made it even more enjoyable. That said, there were scores of private cars on the road. In some parts, it even made me wonder if there ever was a lockdown in place. Everything seemed normal, although I am not sure if I should be happy or worried about this. Strange times, indeed! 

As for the Triber, it did this short journey without any trouble. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised by its air-conditioning system. In 42 degrees of heat, the cabin remained cool and engine performance was decent. Hopefully, I’ll get to drive it more often from next month.  

Long Term Report: May 2020

Until a few hours ago, I hadn’t driven the Triber for over a month! Sure, I cranked it up once or twice around two weeks ago to keep its battery from draining, but it didn’t move an inch. However, since I had to get the odometer readings for this report, I went down to my apartment’s basement parking to check it. A few moments later, I noticed there was not a single soul in the parking lot, so I decided to take it for a spin, quite literally – I drove the car around the pillars of the parking lot for a good 5 minutes. I am happy to say that it’s the most fun thing I’ve done since the lockdown! Yes, that’s what it has come down to, sadly. 

However, before we were asked to stay home for an indefinite period, I managed to take it on another short road trip. As I have said in my previous reports, it’s not really a thrill machine because of its pint-size three-cylinder 1.0-litre engine. Despite that, it manages to cruise at 100-110km/h quite comfortably. It returned a decent fuel economy of around 16km/l during the road trip. However, it’s not that efficient in the city, as I only manage to get around 14-15km/l of fuel efficiency. And trust me, I don’t thrash the motor at all. Plus, I don’t think that it’s going to get any better in summer because of the air conditioning. But then, who knows if we will be allowed to step out this summer, let alone drive our cars?   

Long Term Report: February 2020

Usually, I prefer motorcycles to cars for commuting in cities. The reason is simple – it saves me a heck of a lot of time, and riding a motorcycle is not half as infuriating as driving a car in peak-hour traffic. But last month, it got bone-chillingly cold here, so, naturally, I ditched my motorcycle and used the Triber. And within a few days of driving to work, I realised that the Triber had turned me into a driving monk!

You see, unlike other cars, the Triber has somewhat calmed me down as a driver. Now, I am not implying that it’s the most refined car in the segment – it’s not! In fact, the engine sounds very gruff during cold starts and even in traffic, the drivetrain feels very harsh. Plus, it’s not a car to drive enthusiastically. But, truth be told, I kind of like that fact – the fact that it’s a relatively slow car. I don’t know about other road users, but the Triber’s relaxed pace has forced me to be non-competitive on the road. I don’t fight for a tight spot in traffic, I don’t chase someone down if they cut me off, and I don’t get into traffic light drag races anymore. Instead, I stick to a lane, connect my music using Android Auto, and just drive leisurely without a care in the world.  However, if there’s one thing that makes me lose my cool while driving this car – the lack of steering audio controls.  

Long Term Report: January 2020

The Renault Triber entered our long-term fleet this month, and, surprisingly, I’ve been handed the keys to this spacious 7-seat crossover. I am no family man, but I’ve to say that I like the extra space that this car offers. On the very first week itself, I drove the Triber to nearby and beyond, with four passengers and their ‘winter’ luggage on board. Of course, on paper, the 1.0-litre motor may not look ready for such a job, but, actually, it turned out to be pretty good. The engine, albeit whiny, cruises comfortably at 100 – 110km/h. Overtaking, however, requires you to send multiple requests to the engine – the motor feels strained and is reluctant to send all its horses to the wheels. Drive it at a leisurely pace, though, and it’s a very comfortable mile-muncher – yes, even when it’s fully loaded. The ride quality over bad roads stands out in particular. 

In the city, the driveability is decent. There’s enough grunt to pull the car into second gear in start-stop traffic. The clutch has a high biting point, though, and I also feel the pedal is set at a weird angle. The 8-inch touchscreen feels very premium. But I do miss steering-mounted controls. We will talk more about the Triber’s quality, practicality, and driving dynamics in next month’s report…

Renault's Triber Seven-Seat MPV Is More Than Just Seriously Affordable

A number of manufacturers and importers have nailed it on the head in terms of its affordable product offering. At the very bottom end of the market, Renault and Suzuki, for example, have been some of the leaders. When it comes to seven-seaters, the three main competitors are Suzuki's Ertiga, Toyota's Avanza and then the subject of this test, Renault's Triber.

Launched in 2020, the Renault Triber did a few things right upon its arrival. It doesn't look like a seven-seater from the get-go, and secondly, its pricing is very competitive. I spent a week with this car driving more than 700km to find out what it is like to live with it on a daily basis.

The second and third rows of seats

First, the specifications. There are seven seats, with three in the middle row and two at the back. Yes, the rear ones are only applicable for children, and sadly, the middle seat of the second row is only offered with a lap belt.

The functionality of the seats makes it a very practical car. The middle row has a 60:40 split, which means the seats can be moved forward and backwards in this split or tumbled forward.

The two rear seats can also be removed, or you can remove the back ends, or you can fold the seatbacks forward, or fold them forward. Being partially light in colour, I would recommend investing in a good quality seat cover as these seats will get dirty and damaged if you plan to load objects into the cabin on a regular basis.

Seated in the second row behind my ideal driving position (I'm 1.87 metres tall), I was able to sit comfortably with my knees lightly touching the driver's seat while headroom was ample. There is also a single 12V socket for the rear seat passengers and a separate air con knob with three speeds to feed air to the second and third row of passengers, ideal on a hot summer’s day.

Behind the wheel

Under the stubby bonnet is a modest 1.0-litre, three-cylinder engine connected to a five-speed manual transmission. For the price, one would expect a basic cabin, which is indeed the case. However, a simplistic infotainment screen offers a Bluetooth connection to your phone, and radio, and behind the gear lever is a slot to plug in a USB stick or phone connection and an AUX-in slot. The instrument binnacle is extremely basic, with a rev counter that only indicates chunks of 500r/min, a trip computer and a speedometer.

The engine has a fairly gruff sound, but when used in anger, it performs, however that is hardly what the engine has been designed for. I quickly find myself keeping to the slow(er) lane on the highway at a constant 100 or 110km/h.

The result is that over the course of a week and mixed drive of the highway, running errands and town driving, the car averaged an indicated 6.7-litres/100km. At times we were two adults on board and sometimes with a child.

It is important to note that overtaking on the highway is not really an option. The Triber will accelerate modestly to around 120km/h, at which point it struggles, with a single occupant on board, to reach an indicated 130km/h.

The ride quality is good, the seats are comfortable, you have a good view through the windows, and there is enough storage space around you.

Summary

If you want space and the basic level of safety (ABS with EBD, two airbags), it ticks the boxes for these requirements. Even during an emergency brakes test I conducted, it performed well and didn't swerve or become unstable. It is hard to fault the Triber for the value proposition it offers. That is if you need a spacious car with seven seats.
