Recently unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show last week, the Tata Altroz will reportedly be available with 3 engine options including two petrol and one diesel.

With the aims at taking the likes of Maruti Suzuki Baleno and the Hyundai i20, Tata has been working on producing the Altroz to position it aggressively. Sitting above the Tiago, Tata Altroz is expected to be the new flagship of the home-grown carmaker.
