"We foresee Triber to be a key part of our expansion plans in India, as we look forward to growing the Renault brand in this diverse and exciting automotive market," Renault India Operations Country CEO and MD Venkatram Mamillapalle told reporters here.

The new model would bridge the gap between Kwid and company's other SUV offerings like Duster and Captur, he added.

"We are focusing on rural areas for our growth. We see tremendous potential in rural markets. Triber will appeal not only to urban customers, but rural ones as well," Mamillapalle said.
