Tata is about to carry an ‘Altroz media event’ on January 13, suggesting a possible launch of the Altroz Turbo which was recently spied with none camouflage during a new blue shade. Tata’s upcoming offering will directly combat the Hyundai i20 Turbo and Volkswagen Polo TSI, both of which accompany a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine.
As per an RTO document leaked earlier, the Altroz Turbo will are available four variants: XT, XT(O), XZ and XZ(O). These are the highest variants compared to the quality model, which is obtainable in six trims: XE, XM, XM+, XT, XZ and XZ (O).
Tata Altroz Turbo are going to be powered by a 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbo-petrol engine. The motor will produce 110PS and 140Nm as per the RTO document. These figures aren’t yet officially confirmed but they’re going to definitely be in line with those of the Polo and therefore the i20.
The Altroz Turbo was paired with a 5-speed manual as standard at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show. it’s also expected to urge a 7-speed DCT (dual-clutch automatic), a primary for a Tata car. Addition of the DCT will help fill the absence of automatic variants within the lineup. Also, all of its rivals offer an automatic. Plus, the turbo engine will appeal to buyers trying to find more punch than the regular petrol engine.
It will feature a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, projector headlamps, control , steering-mounted controls, 16-inch alloy wheels, and a rear parking camera. Visual differences between the turbo variants and therefore the regular variants are limited to a replacement blue shade and ‘Turbo’ badging over the body.
We expect the Altroz Turbo to demand a lakh over the regular petrol-powered variants. So it might be priced from Rs 7.99 lakh to Rs 8.75 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi) for the manual. the automated variants might add another lakh.
