Rajan Amba, Vice President, Sales, Marketing and Customer Care, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd. Said, “We are elated to launch the much-awaited Altroz DCA, equipped with a world-class automatic transmission, designed for the Indian customers. Since the commencement of bookings for the Altroz DCA, we are witnessing an encouraging number of queries. The Altroz DCA with its segment-first features will certainly captivate the minds of prospective buyers and provide a seamless driving experience.”
The Tata Altroz DCA is offered with a new 6-speed dual-clutch gearbox only with the 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder, naturally aspirated petrol engine, which produces 86 bhp @6,000 rpm and 113 Nm of peak torque @3,300 rpm. The 5-speed manual counterpart replicates the same power figures. However, the DCA variant is heavier by almost 20 kg over the manual sibling. Tata says the new DCA gearbox is tuned specifically for the Indian roads and climatic conditions, with active cooling technology and machine learning as well as shift-by-wire technology.
The Tata Altroz DCA will get Auto Park Lock, a new safety feature, that automatically engages the park mode while exiting the car, even if the driver forgets to do so.
Apart from the identical features found on the XM+, XT, XZ, XZ(O), and XZ+ trims, the Altroz DCA will get Auto Park Lock, a new safety feature, that automatically engages the park mode while exiting the car, even if the driver forgets to do so. Other standard features include a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 7.0-inch part-digital instrument cluster, keyless entry with push-button start-stop, automatic climate control, iRA rain-sensing wipers, and leatherette upholstery to name a few.
