According to the details available, the new Tata Altroz turbo petrol will draw power from the 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbocharged motor that already powers the Nexon. Compared to the SUV, the engine will be slightly detuned to produce about 108 bhp and 150 Nm of peak torque. In contrast, the same unit produces about 118 bhp and 170 Nm of peak torque on the Tata Nexon facelift. Tata is likely to pair the turbo petrol on the Altroz with the 5-speed manual gearbox at the time of launch, while a DCT automatic will join the line-up at a later stage.

The Tata Altroz turbo petrol variant will compete with the new-generation Hyundai i20 1.0 Turbo GDi and the Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI in the segment. At present, the i20 is the hottest hatchback in this space with 118 bhp on offer, and also comes with a DCT automatic. The Polo develops 108 bhp and is paired with a 6-speed torque convertor. The automatic version will also compete against the Honda Jazz CVT and the Maruti Suzuki Baleno CVT in the segment.

More details will be available closer to the launch, while pre-bookings will begin in a few days from now.
