Best Automatic Variants for Families: Comparing Hyundai Aura and Renault Triber

What a Family-focused car buyer looks for in a car

A family-focused car buyer prioritizes safety, space, convenience, and ride quality. Safety features like ABS, airbags, and stability control are paramount in their search for the best family cars. The car should offer ample legroom, headroom, boot capacity for luggage, and ground clearance for various terrains. Convenience factors include power windows, rear AC vents, and parking assistance. The vehicle’s ride quality should also be comfortable, minimizing body roll and vibrations.

The Renault Triber is an MPV that can seat 7 people, and will appeal to those with large families. The Hyundai Aura, a compact sedan, can seat 5 people, and will appeal to those with smaller families. Plus, the Aura – the more premium of the two cars – has a good boot space, while in the Triber, the rear seats can be folded to create more luggage room, and as such is more spacious.

Why Hyundai Aura and Renault Triber are popular among Family-focused car buyers

As far as the top family cars in India go, the Hyundai Aura and Renault Triber are gaining popularity among family-focused buyers due to their holistic blend of safety, convenience, and comfort. Aura’s impressive safety standards, exemplified by the inclusion of four airbags and ABS, instill confidence in the driver. Similarly, Triber’s high ground clearance is appreciated for handling various road conditions.
