The Tata Altroz is a very good-looking car. It may not be the roomiest of the premium hatches, but still has a practical cabin, and is fairly well-equipped too. The real ace up its sleeve is its fantastic ride and handling balance. The 86hp, 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine isn’t the most refined or peppy but it can be had with CNG as well, putting out a lower 73.5hp. The 120hp turbo-petrol in the Racer offers improved performance, and is smoother and sprightlier. The 90hp diesel is probably the best option, and will let you rack up the kilometres without much fuss. The standard 5-speed manual gearbox isn’t the slickest in the business, and while the 6-speed dual-clutch auto is smooth, it’s a shame you only get it on the weak base petrol engine and not the turbo-petrol or diesel. The Altroz Racer meanwhile, can only be had with a 6-speed manual. With a wide range of powertrains and variants on offer, buyers have a lot of choice.
