Should You Buy The Tata Altroz diesel XM / XM Style / XM Rhythm?

At Rs. 7.75 lakh, the Altroz XM diesel is overpriced. It doesn’t even offer a 4-speaker music system and lacks the dual horn and remote central locking system that the XE Rhythm offers. We do not recommend it.

Priced at Rs. 8.09 lakh, the XM Style is not worth it either for what it offers.

The XM Rhythm is priced at Rs. 8.14 lakh and its features are also not adding up to its asking price.

In a nutshell, the 2020 Tata Altroz XM variant is overpriced and thus, with or without any accessory package, it offers poor value for money, and is better avoided.

If your budget doesn’t permit you to go for our top recommended Altroz XZ variant, then go for the XE Rhythm instead and personalize it with aftermarket addition for better value.
