Tata Motors launched a sportier version of its Altroz hatchback. The newly launched Altroz Racer gets the existing 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine in a better tune. Apart from this, the hatchback also comes with cosmetic updates and some new features. The Tata Altroz Racer comes in R1, R2 and R3 variants with three colour options: Atomic Orange, Avenue White and Pure Grey. The starting ex-showroom price of this performance hatchback is Rs 9.49 lakh. Here are the variant-wise prices of all the variants of the Tata Altroz Racer.
The Tata Altroz Racer is powered by a 1.2-litre, three-cylinder, turbo-petrol engine. On the Racer model, the engine generates 120hp and 170Nm, which is 10hp and 30Nm more than the iTurbo model. It comes mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox instead of the 5-speed manual offered with the iTurbo. There is no automatic gearbox option, but it does get a sportier-sounding exhaust system. Unlike the i20 N Line, the Altroz Racer does not get any suspension or steering updates. Following the introduction of the Altroz Racer, Tata Motors has discontinued the previously available iTurbo range of hatchbacks.
The sportier hatchback also features several exterior updates. It offers three paint options, each with a contrasting black finish and white racing stripes for the bonnet and roof. Additionally, it retains the ‘Racer’ badging on the front fender, a slightly revised grille and 16-inch alloy wheels. The Racer comes with a larger 10.25-inch touchscreen that can be found in the new Tata SUV. It is equipped with a new, smoother operating system. Additionally, it features a new 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster.
The car gets segment-first ventilated front seats, a 360-degree camera and a voice-assisted sunroof. As standard, the Racer is equipped with six airbags and ESC for safety. On the cosmetic front, there are red highlights around the AC vents and the gear lever on the centre console, as well as new leatherette upholstery with contrast stitching.
