HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Tata Motors is all set to launch the Tata Altroz Turbo in India soon.
  • The performance hatchback will arrive at the dealership on 13th January 2021.
  • It will come with a 1.2L turbocharged petrol engine that churns out 108BHP of power.

Spotted multiple times on the road, the wait for the Tata Altroz Turbo is about to end as the company is all set to launch the performance hatchback on 13th January 2021. Earlier, the Indian carmaker was about to launch the Tata Altroz Turbo during this Diwali. However, the reason for the delay is obviously the ongoing pandemic.

Coming to the changes, the upcoming Tata Altroz Turbo might get some cosmetic changes along with a ‘Turbo’ badging on the tailgate. Meanwhile, for differentiation, Tata might offer a new color scheme on the all-new Tata Altroz.

Expecting a new turbocharged engine on the all-new Tata Altroz Turbo? It will get the same 1.2L turbocharged petrol engine that powers the Tata Nexon as well. However, the power delivery will not be the same and the engine is expected to deliver a maximum output of 108BHP. Meanwhile, the peak torque will remain at 140Nm. Further, the engine will come mated to either a 5-speed manual or a DCT gearbox.

Right now, Tata offers two engine options on the regular Altroz. The first one is a 1.2L NA petrol motor alongside a 1.5L diesel engine.

At the time of launch, Tata Altroz Turbo will come with a price tag between ₹8 Lakh to ₹9 Lakh. However, the turbo variant of the premium hatchback will directly rival the Hyundai i20 Turbo.
