A year has passed since the Tata Altroz Racer made its initial appearance at the Auto Expo, and now, at the Bharat Mobility Show 2024, we witness the model in its production-ready form. This time, the sportier version of the hatchback dazzles in a dual-tone Orange and Black color scheme, adorned with twin racing stripes on the hood and roof, along with Racer badges on the front fenders. Notable exterior features include blacked-out headlamps, black-finished multispoke alloy wheels, a shark fin antenna, and a more pronounced rear spoiler.
Continuing the Orange and Black theme, the Tata Altroz Racer boasts an all-black interior with orange highlights on the steering wheel, AC vents, upholstery lines, and stitching. The ambient light around the center console and footwell also follows the striking Orange color. The all-black seat upholstery features contrast stitching and strips, complemented by Racer embossing on the head restraints.
In terms of features, the Altroz Racer is equipped with a 10.25-inch infotainment system offering the latest wireless smartphone connectivity and a 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster. Notably, it becomes the first Tata car to incorporate a Heads-Up Display (HUD). Standard features include wireless phone charging, ventilated front seats, an air purifier, and six airbags.

The highlight of the Tata Altroz Racer lies in its engine. This sportier hatch is powered by the 1.2L, 3-cylinder turbo petrol engine inherited from the Nexon. The Racer Edition outperforms the Altroz iTurbo with an additional 10bhp and 30Nm of torque. The engine delivers a claimed power of 120bhp and 170Nm of torque, positioning it as a direct competitor to the Hyundai i20 N Line.
The pricing details of the Altroz Racer are anticipated to be announced in the coming months, closely followed by its deliveries. It is expected to fall within a price range similar to the i20, which is priced between Rs 10.19 lakh and Rs 12.31 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom).
