Tata Motors recently launched the Altroz CNG to their portfolio. The Altroz CNG offered a few new variants with a sunroof. While the same made it to the list of normal petrol variants, the turbo petrol and turbo diesel powertrains didn’t get the XZ Plus OS variant. Here’s why!

Take a look at the June 2023 ex-showroom prices of the Altroz variants:

Tata showcased the Altroz Racer Edition at the Auto Expo 2023. The same is likely to become the range-topping turbo petrol variant of the Altroz hatchback. It gets the following notable additional features, which are currently not available in the Altroz:

Larger, 10.25-inch touchscreen
2x front side thorax airbags
2x curtain airbags
Ventilated front seats
120PS of power at 5500rpm — +10PS (Altroz turbo currently makes 110PS of power at 5500rpm)
170Nm of torque between 1750 and 4000rpm — +30Nm (the Altroz turbo currently produces 140Nm of torque between 1500 and 5500rpm)
6-speed manual transmission — +1 gear (Altroz turbo gets a 5-speed manual transmission)

With these performance and feature upgrades, the Altroz turbo petrol should have enough ammo to challenge the i20 turbo. The only major concern, which could bug the Altroz Racer buyers, is the lack of an automatic transmission. The regular i20 and the i20 N Line have the option of a 7-speed DCT automatic. The Altroz Racer will fill the void of the top-spec XZ Plus OS turbo variant. We expect Tata to launch the Racer before the 2023 festive season.
