Tata Altroz vs Skoda Rapid Comparison

The Tata Altroz honestly is one of the most structurally sound vehicles you can buy under Rs. 10 lakh. Tata addressed its biggest shortcomings with the recent update, swapping out the dated cabin screens for class-leading digital displays and adding standard six airbags to bolster its safety credentials. While the naturally aspirated petrol engine lacks outright punch, the availability of a torquey diesel and an incredibly practical AMT CNG configuration no doubt gives the Altroz an edge over its rivals.

Jaiveer summarises,

“Tata has really nailed it when it comes to the ride and handling mix in its range of cars, and the same holds for the Altroz as well.”

Skoda has made a strong statement with the new Rapid. It's done away with the diesel engine and that's a bold step. But the renewed focus on introducing more petrol models to the line-up and giving the 4 years Skoda maintenance, assist and warranty package, just gives you a perspective of how the company wants to make the new Rapid a value for money proposition. Yes, it has bargained on features and there's no automatic available yet, but that equation will change in the next couple of months. The Rapid with the 1-litre TSI offers more bang for your buck and is probably the most fun to drive compact sedan out there.
