Tata Altroz Racer Under Development – Gets More Powerful Engine & Added Features
Earlier, Tata Motors had showcased the sportier version of the Altroz hatchback named the Altroz Racer at the Auto Expo 2023. This model received plenty of attention from the general public and the media.
That being said, the Tata Altroz Racer hatchback was recently spied testing. As such, we expect this model to be launched very soon in the Indian market and it will directly compete against the likes Hyundai i20 N Line hatchback.
One of the biggest highlights of the upcoming Tata Altroz Racer hatchback is its powertrain. The model is said to be powered by a 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder, turbocharged, petrol engine with 118.3bhp of peak power at 5,500rpm and 170Nm of peak torque at 1,750rpm.
In addition to the uprated powertrain, the upcoming Tata Altroz Racer hatchback will also feature a new 6-speed manual transmission unit instead of the 5-speed unit in the standard Altroz hatchback.
Coming to the design, the Altroz Racer sports an almost identical bodywork to the regular Altroz hatchback except for a more prominent-looking rear spoiler and a new electrically adjustable sunroof.
Other changes include a dual-tone colour scheme consisting of a black paint job on the upper half of the body including the bonnet and blacked-out treatment on headlights, front grille and alloy wheels.
On the inside, the Tata Altroz Racer features plenty of red accents and 'Racer' insignia on the headrest along with all-black upholstery with contrasting red stitching. Though these are minor changes, the overall effect it has on the hatchback is significant.
Other than the new upholstery, the Altroz Racer also gets new features such as a larger 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment unit with a slicker interface, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, a 7-inch digital driver's display, wireless phone charger, air purifier, and ventilated front seats.
