Petrol Engine Review

• The Aura turbo is the most powerful engine among the three contestants.
• The Auras engine has the most torque and therefore, it’ll offer the best drivability and in-gear acceleration.
• All of Aura’s petrol engines are more fuel-efficient than the Altroz petrol.

Altroz Diesel vs Aura Diesel

Tata Altroz 1.5 L, 4-cylinder diesel engine makes 90PS of maximum power and 200Nm of peak torque. It is available with a 5-speed manual transmission and has a mileage of 23.03kmpl.

Hyundai Aura gets a 1.2 L, 3-cylinder diesel engine makes 75PS of maximum power and 190Nm of peak torque. It is available with a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed AMT type automatic transmission. The Hyundai Aura diesel manual has a mileage of 25.35kmpl while the automatic claims to deliver a fuel-efficiency figure of 25.4kmpl.

• The Aura carries forward that same positivity with the diesel engines too by offering better mileage figures than the Altroz.
• Despite a lower torque and power output, the Aura offers a stronger torque-to-weight ratio and therefore, it should, in theory, offer better performance. However, we can’t ignore the Altroz’ chunkier peak torque band, which is 1750rpm wide - the widest for any diesel car in India. This could offset the Aura’s torque-to-weight advantage by offering linear acceleration for a longer duration in each gear at relaxed RPMs.
