A source in Tata Motors with knowledge about the launch of the Altroz Racer told V3Cars recently that the standard Altroz will receive new variants and features soon. The source also told us Tata Motors are set to replace the standard Altroz turbo petrol variants with the upcoming Altroz Racer.

Currently, the Altroz turbo petrol is available in 2 variants – XZ and XZ Plus S. According to our source, Tata Motors are considering replacing the 2 turbo petrol variants with the Altroz Racer, which will be available in 3 variants – R1, R2 and R3. With this change, the 1.2L turbo petrol engine will become exclusive to the Altroz Racer.
Check out the features of the Altroz Racer’s 3 variants below:
The base R1 variant of the Altroz Racer hot hatch is likely to be based on the Altroz turbo petrol’s XZ variant. We expect the Altroz Racer R1 variant to offer 4 extra airbags and a larger 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system. This also brings with it wireless Android Auto and Apple Carplay. Currently, the Altroz’s XZ variant gets a 7-inch touchscreen with wired smartphone connectivity.
The R2 variant looks like it’s based on the Altroz XZ Plus S variant. Among features that aren’t available in the standard Altroz, the Racer R2 variant will get 2 notable additions — wireless phone charger and 360-degree camera. The cameras mounted for the 360-degree camera system on the ORVMs will also serve as blind view monitors.
Finally, the top-spec R3 variant of the Altroz Racer will get only one notable feature, which isn’t available in the regular Altroz — ventilated front seats.
Here’s how the Tata Altroz Racer’s 1.2L turbo petrol engine compares against the standard Altroz turbo petrol:
Meanwhile, the standard Altroz will get new variants and feature additions too. The new variants of the standard Altroz normal petrol, turbo diesel and CNG will offer enhanced safety features like 6 airbags, 360-degree camera, larger 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
