Tata did almost everything right while introducing the Altroz. The only X factor that was missing happened to be a turbocharged variant. A few days later, after Hyundai launched the third-gen i20, the carmaker finally accepted that the demand for a turbo motor is considerably high and that’s how Tata Altroz iTurbo was born.

Recently, the PR team of the brand has announced a price revision. Thankfully, the revision aims to make most of the iTurbo variants a little more affordable.

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Tata Altroz iTurbo is now affordable by up to Rs.8000.
  • Comes powered by a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol unit.
  • Remains identical to the normal variants of Tata Altroz.

Engine & Powertrain

Tata Motors has deployed its potent 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine on the Altroz iTurbo. Surprisingly, the power figures aren’t that fascinating but still, this unit is capable of churning out a decent 108BHP  and 140Nm of peak torque.

For transmission duties, it will be getting a 5-speed manual gearbox as standard. To be more precise, all the power is channelled to front wheels only.

Alternatives

Hot hatch is a popular segment among enthusiasts. However, in India, it isn’t that big. Tata Altroz here will compete against the likes of other hatchbacks that come with turbocharged motors such as Hyundai i20 and Volkswagen Polo. Want to learn more about the i20 Turbo?
