Tata Altroz Racer Pros:1.2L Turbo-Petrol offers good driveability & satisfactory performanceWe love the Altroz’s overall design. Has a solid build tooWell-priced for what it offersNice interior with good quality parts & adequate spaceAccommodating 345-litre boot is among the biggest of the segmentMature on-road behaviour, including at highway speeds5-star NCAP safety rating! Safety package includes six airbags, 360-degree camera, blind view monitor etc.Enjoyable Harman 8-speaker ICE. One of the better audio systems in this segmentImpressive kit (auto headlamps & wipers, cruise control, air purifier, wireless charging, ventilated leatherette seats, sunroof, ambient lighting…)Tata Altroz Racer Cons:Not really a hot hatch. Performance is fair, but not explosive. 0-100 in 11.3 secondsTurbo-petrol is only offered in the Altroz Racer. Limited colour choices and those racing stripes won’t be to everyone’s likingNo automatic gearbox option in a market that loves its ATsNotchy gearshift takes away some of the fun of drivingOnly one drive mode – Sport. A city mode would have provided a smoother drive in traffic (it is jerky at low speeds)Suspension has a firm edge at low speedsService visit every 6 months / 7,500 km (1 year / 10,000 km is the norm today)Some missing features (auto-dimming IRVM, full size spare tyre, split-folding rear seat…)Tata’s after-sales service quality is a hit or miss. Remains a gambleRead Team-BHP’s detailed 2024 Tata Altroz Racer Review.
