The all-new Altroz is powered by both petrol and diesel engine options. The petrol variants are powered by a 1.2-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine while the diesel variants get the 1.5-litre turbocharged diesel engine. Tata only offers a manual transmission with both the engine options but plans to launch an automatic version of the petrol variants soon. Tata is planning to launch a more powerful version of the Altroz petrol that will be powered by a 1.2-litre Revotron turbo-petrol engine. It is the same engine that is available with the Tata Nexon SUV. It generates a maximum power of 110 PS and 170 Nm of peak torque. However, in the Altroz, it will be de-tuned to produce around 102 PS of maximum and around 140 Nm of peak torque.

The petrol variants of the Altroz produce a maximum power of 86 PS and peak torque of 113 Nm. The diesel variants generate a maximum of 90 PS and peak torque of 200 Nm. The Altroz is priced between Rs 5.29 lakhs and Rs 9.29 lakhs, ex-showroom, Delhi. This makes the Altroz a value-for-money product.

The feature list of the Altroz is quite long and there are quite a few useful features. It includes sleek LED projector lamps with LED DRL, LED tail lamps, dual-tone alloy wheels, 90-degree wide-opening doors, Analogue-digital instrument cluster, dual airbags, touchscreen infotainment system and more such features.

The Altroz is the first car to be based on the ALFA-Arc platform and it will become the base of many upcoming Tata cars in the future. Tata Motors also plans to launch the all-new HBX concept based production car later this year, which will take on the cars like Renault Kwid in the Indian market.
