Tata Altroz Turbo Spied During Its TVC Shoot Ahead Of Launch: Spy Pics & Details

Ahead of its launch, the new Tata Altroz ‘Turbo' has been spied in Goa undergoing its TVC shoot. As seen from the spy video by Aditya Tendulkar/YouTube, the premium hatchback can be seen in the new Marina Blue paint scheme, with the ‘Turbo' badging on the bottom part of the boot-lid.

Looking at the spy pics, we can also notice that the new Turbo variant will remain identical to the standard model in terms of its design. The spy pics show no cosmetic changes on the turbo variant, apart from the new paint scheme.

The Tata Altroz was first launched in India back in January 2020 and was the brand's first product to be part of its new ‘ALFA' architecture. Now one year later the turbo-petrol variant of the premium hatchback is set to enter the market.

Mechanically, the new Tata Altroz ‘Turbo' variant will be offered with the same 1.2-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine, which also powers the Nexon SUV. However, for the Altroz, Tata Motors has de-tuned the engine which now produces 108bhp and 150Nm of peak torque. The same engine on the Tata Nexon churns out 118bhp and 170Nm of peak torque.

The turbo-petrol engine on the Tata Altroz will come mated to a standard five-speed manual gearbox. There is also a seven-speed DCT automatic transmission under development for the Altroz turbo, however, this gearbox will be introduced at a slightly later stage.

The turbo-petrol engine option could be offered only on the mid and top-spec variants of the Altroz premium hatchback. Prices for the Altroz turbo will also be at a slight premium compared to the regular models. The new Tata Altroz turbo is expected to come with a starting price of Rs 8 lakh, ex-showroom.
