Ahead of the scheduled launch, let’s see what each upcoming Altroz iTurbo variant has on offer for its buyers.

Tata Altroz iTurbo is slated to launch on January 22

It should be noted that even though the iTurbo variants’ feature lists are basically similar to the existing variants', there will be some minor updates that mark their own identities.

Tata Altroz iTurbo XT

On Tata Altroz’s range, the Altroz XT is available as the mid-range option. Therefore, the XT is loaded with a decent list of equipment for both the exterior and interior. Starting from this trim, Tata has started to offer some goodies like touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple Carplay, voice command, rear parking camera, push-button start-stop and more.

Tata Altroz Turbo XZ

In the beginning, the XZ was offered as the top-of-the-line variant with all the exclusive features. Compared to the XT variant, the Tata Altroz iTurbo XZ is added with some extra features as follow:

Exterior:

• 16-inch alloy wheels

• Projector headlights with auto headlamps function

• Contrasting black roof

Interior:

• Ambient lighting

Tata Altroz iTurbo XZ+

The XZ+ variant is added to the range later on. This variant comes with some extra goodies that will enhance the premiumness of the interior.

• Faux leather upholstery

• One-touch up power windows

• Xpress cool function

• Infotainment system with personalized wallpaper

• What 3 Words navigation

The most important update of the Tata Altroz iTurbo, regardless of the variants, is the new 1.2-litre 3-cylinder turbo-petrol engine which churns out 110 PS and 140 Nm. This engine is carried forward from the Tata Nexon. However, on entering the small hatchback, this engine is detuned to offer lower power output. This engine is mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. It is expected that Tata will introduce a 7-speed DCT transmission at a later stage. Tata Altroz will be the first Tata cars to get DCT gearbox.

In terms of pricing, it is expected that Tata will price the Altroz iTurbo competitively. It is likely to undercut the price of Hyundai i20 Turbo. The regular Tata Altroz is currently priced from Rs 5.44 lakh to Rs 8.95 lakh (ex-showroom). The turbo variants will command Rs 1 lakh over the regular versions. It is likely to be priced from Rs 8 lakh onwards. It will rival against the likes of Maruti Baleno, Honda Jazz, and Toyota Glanza CVT. Booking for the Tata Altroz iTurbo is available at a token amount of Rs 11,000.
