- The prices of Altroz iTurbo start from Rs 7.74 lakh for the XT trim and go all the way to Rs 8.86 lakh for the newly introduced XZ+ variant. With this, it is the most affordable turbocharged petrol option in the segment.
- The Altroz iTurbo is Rs 60,000 cheaper than the Volkswagen Polo's Highline Plus TSI trim, which is the second most affordable turbo model in the premium hatchback segment.
- Hyundai i20 Turbo, on the other hand, starts from Rs 8.80 lakh, which is just Rs 6,000 less than the Altroz iTurbo's top-spec XZ+ trim. And thus, Tata does make a strong case for itself.

- As of now, the Altroz iTurbo is only being offered with a 5-speed manual gearbox, whereas the Polo and i20 Turbo get both manual and automatic transmission options. However, the manual gearbox available with the i20 is a clutch-pedal less unit. To be precise, it comes with a two-pedal setup just like an automatic model but with a conventional manual shifting gear lever. Hyundai calls it iMT (intelligent Manual Transmission).
- For the automatic unit, the Korean offering gets a dual-clutch unit, whereas the Deutsche machine comes with a torque converter unit. Tata will also introduce a Punch Powertrain sourced DCT automatic gearbox with the Altroz in near future.
