Heavy look

fully satisfied. Amazing driving experience. Affordable price. Can by this anyone. Well stylish car. Superb interior. very comfortable for traveling. Overall I will give this car a rating 4.5out of 5

Low price better comfort for Indian travelers

Ertiga car was good for mileage maintenance and excellent for middle-class people with big family ..it was more comfortable us to seat and travel all together. So it is better to use a battery-saver and super comfort car.

Impressive 1 year journey with triber

I recently completed a year with my Tiber, and it has exceeded all expectations. The standout feature has to be the remarkably fast car delivery, ensuring I hit the road in no time. Clocking 28k in just one year, it's proven to be the best companion for my daily commute. The dual-tone aesthetics add a touch of sophistication to its already appealing design. The car's sleek appearance turns heads wherever I go. What's even more commendable is the service cost, averaging around 1 rs per km. This cost-effectiveness has certainly made the ownership experience even more enjoyable. In summary, Tiber has not only delivered on its promise of speed but has also been a reliable and cost-efficient choice. Highly recommended for those seeking a stellar driving experience without breaking the bank.
