Tata Altroz XT Luxe Diesel

Tata Altroz, The Gold Standard... Tata Altroz is the company's first venture in premium hatchback segment. This is safer and packed with features let's explore Th this Gold Standard Car.... ×Design The design of the Tata Altroz doesnot resemble any car till now. Th e looks are given as a part of 'Impact 2.0' that is the design language followed by Tata Motors. From front the position of the fog lamps are seen a little above the regular placement. Even though the car gets projector headlights, they are not LEDs. The tripod stand like grill slots look appealing. This design is followed somewhere also. From the side we have certain elements to note. The piano black finish for the ORVMs and the positioning of turn indicators to the body are some of them. The rear door handle also have been moved to the C pillar. The 16 inch alloys looks well proportionate to the car. Towards the back side we can see the blacked taillights. Like I said above the rear end is also distinct with its cutting edges. Getting in is not a task at all. The doors open widely at 90° making it even easy for older people. The interior have a floating touch screen infotainment panel surrounded by an ambient light setup. Automatic AC controls below it and certain ports like the USB& AUX ports.The car have a semi-digital instrument cluster. Analog speedometer & digital tachometer and other informations. The seats are supportive and offer a good support. They also have a tripod base shaped arrangements on them. Both the front and rear seats have rear armrests. Also like the i20, this car also have rear AC vents. The boot is practical to have luggages for a family trip. You can also flip the back row seats fully to expand the luggage area. No 60:40 splitting is possible. ×Driving and comfort The car is powered by a 1.2 liter revotron petrol engine and a 1.5 liter revotorq diesel engine both are BS6 complaintand are mated to a 5 speed manual gear box no automatic till now but will be released in coming dates. The petrol motor gives 85hp and 113 nm, its a three cylinder engine. But despite being a 3 cylinder mill, the engine is punchy enough to pull the car due to its light weight This motor is seen in the nexon also. The diesel motor is a 4 cylinder one seen in the nexon. But it is detuned to 89hp and 200 nm this is the kingmaker "the gold standard" as said by Tata. This is a punchy motor since the torque output is got from a very low RPM, this is peppy enough and enthusiastic to drive. Both these engines have two driving options City& Eco. No sports mode, don't know why Tata avoided it. The mode selector is seen behind the gear lever. This mode. hanges the theme from blue to green. Top trim also gets cruise control setup. The suspension is good enough but you can feel the comfort when you glide over a pathole. Brilliant work by Tata engineers. ×Infotainment The car is packed with Harman's 6 speaker system.The floating touch screen is easy to use compared to previous Tata cars. The sound quality is brilliant and is class leading. You can customize the theme colour as your wish. ×Variants Altroz is available from base xe, xm, xt, xz& xz(o) . The car also packs with various options that includes factory fitted customisations they are Rhythm,Style,Luxe& Urban. These options are available on various levels. ×Safety Tata means safety this car scored 5 stars in global NCAP being the second Indian car to scor it and the first car in its segment to score so. The company packs the car with 2 airbags ABS& EBD as standard. ×For whom is this car??? If you want your family to travel in comfort& safe. Then you can choose this car. If you are an enthusiastic driver and all you need is a diesel hatchback then you may go for this car. Because this is the only car in its segment to offer a BS-6 complaint diesel engine. ×Comparing with competitors Maruti Baleno, Hyundai Elite i20, Honda Jazz, VW Polo are the main competetors. Comparing with them we see that Altroz is stronger than Baleno and its diesel engine is excellent, but coming to petrol baleno scores the more. The i20 is the feature rich car here it also have Hyundai's reliability and offers a 6th gear that its rivals misses. The 1.4litre CRDI diesel and 1.2litre petrol engines are also appreciable. Honda Jazz may be the car with lower specs. But the magic that honda does with its petrol mill is something that none can match with. VW Polo is the synonym of sportiness inthis segment its diesel engine having a nice performance too. But taking care of a VW car is a bit tasky. ×Verdict The Tata Altroz is a car that a common man can buy it is sufficiently powerfull (diesei motor), and the best in safety. It also offers segment first features like floating screen& ambient lighting

I bought this car on 15th feb, till now I have an amazing driver experience. On an average mileage of 15 KMPL. You will just love the comfort it offers compared to its rivals. Its is too spacious and Beautiful inside. All the reviews I read, people say it is a Little underpowered, but I would consider it to be a decently powered car. In all, I give this car a 5 star (Just ignoring a few cons which all cars have). Thanks to Tata for this 5 star safety car. Power to TATA

I bought XZ(o) on Feb 2 and till now I have enjoyed each and every ride. The handling is good and feel like sports car. Pickup is nice and the best part is space. I drove 2000kms in 1 month and its mileage is 16kmpl in city . I hope it will give good results in future. Go for this car if you are looking for premium hatchback its rivalries are i20 and baleno. The trunk is also big and spacious.
