New Tata Altroz Variant Teased Ahead Of Launch Soon: What Could It Be?

Apart from the teaser and the unveil (launch) date, Tata Motors hasn't revealed any other details on the new Altroz variant. There are reports suggesting it to be the introduction of the turbocharged petrol engine.

However, we expect it could just be a special edition model ahead of the arrival of Christmas. This is considering the red paint scheme on the hatchback in the teaser and the number of ‘Santa' references throughout.

The new special edition Tata Altroz could carry forward the same engine and transmission options as the standard variant. This includes a 1.2-litre NA petrol producing 85bhp and 113Nm of peak torque. There is also the 1.5-litre diesel engine option churning out 90bhp and 200Nm of peak torque. Both engines are mated to a standard five-speed manual gearbox.

Tata Motors is expected to introduce the Altroz with an all-new powertrain in the near future. This will come in the form of a 1.2-litre turbo-petrol producing 108bhp and 140Nm of peak torque. This engine will be mated either to a five-speed manual or a seven-speed DCT automatic transmission unit.

Currently, the Tata Altroz is offered in a range of five variants, priced between Rs 5.45 lakh and Rs 9 lakh, ex-showroom (Delhi). While prices for the turbo variant could be higher, crossing the Rs 10 lakh, ex-showroom) mark.

Thoughts On The New Tata Altroz Variant Launch

Tata Motors is all set to introduce a new variant of their Altroz premium hatchback on the 15th of December 2020. While we expect it to just be a special ‘Christmas' edition variant, more details will be revealed at the time of launch.
