Tata Altroz
The upcoming Altroz will be Tata Motors’ largest and most premium hatchback. Previewed by the sleek 45X concept at Auto Expo 2018 and shown in final production form at the 2019 Geneva motor show, the Tata Altroz will launch in India on January 22, 2020.
The Altroz follows Tata’s Impact Design 2.0 styling language and its looks don’t stray too much from the 45X concept. The Tata Altroz is striking to look at and style elements like the upswept headlamps, large wheel arches, kinked window line and blacked-out boot lid make it stand out. On the inside, the Tata Altroz will feature an all-black dashboard with a layered design. A 7.0-inch touchscreen will take pride of place on the dash and a segment-first part digital instrument cluster will also be part of the package. Having sat in an Altroz we can tell you that the Tata hatchback will not be the roomiest car in the class. Rear seat space is down on rivals and the high window line also limits the view out. A 341-litre boot does promise plenty of room for luggage, however.
Tata Altroz engine options will include an 85hp, 1.2-litre petrol from the Tiago and a 90hp version of the Nexon’s 1.5-litre turbo-diesel. These engines will come mated to manual gearboxes to start with, with automatic options likely to follow at a later stage. While the Altroz’s mileage per litre figures are not known as yet, Tata Motors is confident of strong numbers made possible by the car’s low kerb weight.
Expect Tata Altroz prices to range from Rs 5-8 lakh (estimated, ex-showroom). The Hyundai i20, the Maruti Suzuki Baleno and the Honda Jazz are some of the Tata Altroz’s rivals.
