Nissan Motor India is gearing up to expand its portfolio in the Indian automotive market by introducing a premium iteration of the popular Triber MPV. Unveiled as part of the company's ambitious India plans at the Global Product Showcase Event in Yokohama, Japan, this new, multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) is set to hit Indian roads in FY25.
The upcoming Premium MPV will be built on the same platform as the Renault Triber MPV, which records decent sales figures in India. It will be designed to cater to the evolving demands of value-conscious customers. This premium Triber-based MPV will offer a mix of muscular styling, better comfort and a refreshed feature set, all while retaining the practicality that made the original Triber a standout in its segment.

Design and Style
The upcoming premium B-MPV will carry on Nissan's distinct design philosophy, offering a bold and muscular aesthetic that will help it stand out from the Triber MPV. At the front, a striking new grille with hexagonal inserts takes center stage, flanked by sleek projector headlights and slim DRLs. A thin chrome strip will connect the headlight and the bonnet features a sporty U-shaped bulge, lending the vehicle a dynamic and assertive stance.
On the sides, updated cladding and aero-inspired EV-type wheel designs enhance the MPV's modern appeal. Additionally, the bumpers incorporate subtle inserts that prioritize a premium feel over sharp angularity. At the rear, slim dot-patterned DRLs within the taillights, a chrome strip linking the two, and small fog lamps complete the refreshed look. Nissan will also introduce a new colour option for the upcoming MPV.

Spacious and Airy Interiors
On the inside, Nissan's upcoming MPV will have a light-colored interior that is almost white-crafted to create a sense of airiness and space. The cabin has been thoughtfully upgraded with quilted seats for added comfort across all three rows. Also, a new infotainment screen, inspired by the Nissan Magnite. Other new stuff on offer will be a redesigned speedometer console and a new steering wheel.
There will be features like cruise control- a notable addition absent in the standard Triber- though climate control will remain manual with rotary dials. The horizontal panel running between the AC vents has been revamped for a cleaner, more cohesive look, and familiar elements like the charging pad and push-button start location have been retained for ease of use.
Engine Options and Production Details
While the mechanicals remain consistent with the Triber, offering reliability and efficiency, there's speculation about the availability of a CNG variant (recently offered with the Triber), aligning with India's growing demand for eco-friendly options. The focus here is on maximizing comfort without compromising the affordability that defines the B-MPV segment.
Manufactured locally at the Alliance JV plant in Chennai, this 7-seater is engineered to meet global standards, supporting Nissan's ambitious target of achieving 100,000 units in annual domestic sales and exports. Nissan's strategy of local products with international appeal might work in the world's most dynamic auto marketplace.
Nissan's Strategic Move For India's MPV Market
The launch of this premium Triber-based MPV marks a significant step in Nissan's plan to strengthen its foothold in India's rapidly growing automotive market. If positioned well, keeping in mind the VFM thing, it will complement the success of the Nissan Magnite in the B-SUV segment and set the stage for the company's broader product lineup, which will include four models across the B, C, and D-SUV segments by FY26.
