Tata Motors recently launched the Altroz facelift in the Indian market for a starting price of Rs 6.89 lakh (ex-showroom). This is the introductory price, meaning it can soon change. Currently, it is a hike of around Rs 24,000 compared to its predecessor. Meanwhile, the most expensive variant is priced at Rs 11.49 lakh (ex-showroom). Within this price range, the premium hatchback competes against models like the Hyundai i20, Maruti Suzuki Baleno, and Toyota Glanza.
Tata Altroz facelift gets advantage points over its competitors because it is the only vehicle in the range with a petrol, diesel, and CNG powertrain. Specifically, it gets a 1.2-liter three-cylinder petrol engine with the options of a 5-speed manual, a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, and a 5-speed AMT. This unit produces 88 hp of power and 115 Nm of peak torque. This makes it the second most powerful engine available on the Altroz.
