    Tata Altroz iTurbo review, road test

    Like most Tatas, the Altroz’s suspension feels tough and solid over bad and broken roads. Although a bit stiff-kneed, it takes all but the sharpest of road shocks in its stride, and passengers feel no unnecessary movements inside the cabin. Its composure and surefootedness at cruising speeds is also praiseworthy. What’s nice is, unlike cars like the Nexon or Harrier, the Altroz’s steering has a certain degree of slack at the dead-centre position, so it doesn’t feel overtly sharp or edgy at the slightest of inputs. And the good news is, not only does it weigh up consistently, it feels sharp and nicely connects with the driver once the wheel is turned a few degrees, making it very easy to angle the front wheels into a corner. Its taut body structure and strong mechanical grip, further add to its dynamic prowess. And even though it uses the same brake setup as the NA petrol version, braking performance feels strong, confidence-inspiring, and the pedal feel is easy to get accustomed with.
