Tata Altroz To Get A New XM+ (S) Variant With Three Engine Options

The upcoming launch of the CNG-powered Tata Altroz will also mark the introduction of a new variant called XM+ (S). Positioned between the XM+ and XT variants, it will be available with three powertrain options: 1.2-litre petrol, 1.5-litre diesel and 1.2-litre petrol-CNG. The turbo-petrol engine won’t be on offer with this new trim.

Tata Altroz XM+ (S) – What’s New?

Positioning above the XM+ variant, the new XM+ (S) trim will get a host of additional features over the former. This will include: –

• A single-pane electric sunroof with voice assist
• Sharkfin antenna
• A digital instrument cluster (CNG only)
• Premium knitted roof liner
• Front rain-sensing wipers

Expect this new trim to command a significant price premium over the XM+ variant, which is currently priced between Rs 7.55 lakh and Rs 8.80 lakh (ex-showroom).

XT trim to get more feature rich

In addition to the above-mentioned changes, the mid-spec XT variant will also receive notable feature upgrades in the form of new leatherette seats, a leather steering wrap (limited to XT DARK only), adjustable rear headrests, a sunglasses holder, a reverse camera, climate control, and hyper-styled wheels.

Bookings are open

• Bookings for the Tata Altroz CNG variant are already open, so if you’re considering purchasing one, you can proceed with your booking at a token amount of Rs 21,000.

• The eco-friendly variant of the Tata Altroz will utilize the same 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder petrol engine coupled with a 5-speed manual transmission. However, when fueled with natural gas, the engine will produce a slightly reduced power output of 77PS/97Nm, as opposed to the petrol-only variant’s output of 86PS/113Nm.

Author’s Take

With its diverse range of engine options including N.A. Petrol, Turbo-Petrol, CNG, and Diesel, the Altroz stands tall as the trailblazer among mid-size hatchbacks like the Maruti Suzuki Baleno, Hyundai i20, and Toyota Glanza.
