Tata Altroz is doing really well in our market. Its premium look, spacious cabin and rich features list are attracting the customers. However, its petrol engine has failed to impress a larger section with its performance. But soon Tata is going to overcome this by introducing a turbocharged petrol engine with the Altroz hatch. But before the company launch the sportier Altroz, here are the five things you need to know about the upcoming hot hatch:-
The Tata Altroz Turbo will be powered by Nexon's 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine but in the detuned state. It will produce 110PS of maximum power at 5500rpm and 140Nm of peak torque at 1500-5500rpm whereas the Nexon develops 10PS/30Nm of more power & torque compared to Altroz.
The Altroz Turbo is likely to get a more sophisticated and refined dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT) alongside the manual gearbox. On the other hand, the Tata Nexon offers AMT (Automated Manual Transmission) with the petrol motor.
Recently, a document of the transport department has been leaked which reveals that Altroz Turbo will be offered in four variants: XT, XT(O). XZ and XZ(O). The lower-spec XE and XM variants won’t get the turbocharged petrol engine option.
Well, we don't think so. It will feature the same design as the non-turbo variants. Possibly, the only addition we may get to see is a new blue exterior paint job and a turbo badging.
Tata Altroz Turbo is likely to hit the dealerships around Diwali. Currently, the Altroz petrol variants (Naturally Aspirated) range between Rs 5.44 lakh to Rs 7.65 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). The pricing of Turbo variants could start around Rs 8 lakh and likely to go touch Rs 8.8 lakh mark. It will lock horns with the Volkswagen Polo TSI and the upcoming Hyundai i20.
