2022 Tata Altroz DCA Review | Better Late Than Never || carandbike
Tata Motors has finally introduced an automatic transmission to its ultra-popular Tata Altroz, which was till now only offered with a 5-speed manual gearbox for its three engine options. The newest addition is a dual-clutch unit or DCA, as the company likes to call it, paired with a petrol engine. We take out the Tata Altroz DCA for a quick spin to see if this new gearbox stands out in a crowd of automatic transmissions.
➡️ The Tata Altroz now gets a new 6 speed DCT automatic gearbox
➡️ The DCT gearbox in the Tata Altroz is only paired to a single petrol engine option
➡️ Fuel efficiency is a claimed 18.11 km/l on the Tata Altroz DCA
➡️ Tata claims the new Tata Altroz DCT gearbox shifts quicker by 250 milliseconds.
➡️ Tata's Wet mechanism in the gearbox allows to keep the transmission cool.
➡️ Shift by wire technology negates any lag in power in the Tata Altroz.
➡️ Missing paddle shifters in the Tata Altroz could have made the drive more engaging.
➡️ Steering feedback is slightly delayed but brakes provide assurance in the Tata Altroz
➡️ No design changes present in the Tata Altroz
➡️ A new colour called Opera Blue adds freshness to the Tata Altroz
