Tata will finally debut the Altroz Racer in India next month. The sportier variant of the Altroz hatchback has been seen twice before: once at last year’s Auto Expo and again at this year’s Bharat Mobility Show, with somewhat different styling.
The 1.2-liter, three-cylinder, turbo-petrol engine that powers the Nexon will also power the Altroz Racer, producing 10hp and 30 Nm more than the Altroz iTurbo. The Racer will most likely be available with a 6-speed manual transmission.
The bonnet and roof of the Altroz Racer will feature twin racing stripes in addition to a two-tone paint scheme. It will also get new alloy wheels, a slightly modified grille and “Racer” badging on the front fenders. The hatchback is anticipated to include new leatherette upholstery with dashboard details in several colours and contrast stitching.
A big 10.25-inch touchscreen, segment-first ventilated front seats, a 360-degree camera, a heads-up display and a voice-assisted sunroof are among the features that will be available.
Tata Altroz Racer’s expected price
The Tata Altroz iTurbo is priced between Rs 9.20 lakh and Rs 10.10 lakh, but taking into account the Altroz Racer’s flagship positioning, it will most likely cost between Rs 10 lakh and Rs 12.52 lakh. It will compete with the Hyundai i20 N Line, as well as the Maruti Fronx and Toyota Taisor’s turbo-petrol models, depending on price.
