The Tata Altroz Racer has been spied testing on public roads fully undisguised for the first time ahead of its launch next month. As compared to the show car displayed at the Bharat Global Mobility Expo earlier this year, the Altroz Racer test mule features one noteworthy visual change.
- Altroz Racer to be equipped with 120hp, 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine from Nexon
- Will feature dual-tone theme, racing stripes, and more
- Launch next month
Tata Altroz Racer spy shots: what’s new?
The prototype has been spotted in the same dual-tone orange and black paint scheme that was showcased at the expo, however, it is seen running on the same diamond-cut alloy wheels as the standard Altroz. For the uninitiated, the Altroz Racer was equipped with different dark chrome/black alloy wheels when it made its debut at the event in February.
The one revealed prior to that, at the Auto Expo 2023, was equipped with the same alloy wheels as the regular hatch, albeit with a blacked-out finish. It is yet to be seen which alloy wheels out of these three will be offered on the upcoming Altroz Racer. Other exterior changes will include twin racing stripes on the bonnet and roof, ‘Racer’ badges and a slightly revised grille.
Tata Altroz Racer: specs, features, price
The i20 N Line rival will be offered with the same 1.2-litre, three-cylinder turbo-petrol engine as the Altroz iTurbo, albeit in a higher state of tune. The engine will produce 120hp and 170Nm torque; 10hp and 30Nm higher than the iTurbo. The Altroz Racer will likely be offered with a 6-speed manual transmission only.
The car will be offered with a new 10.25-inch touchscreen, segment-first ventilated front seats, 360-degree camera, a heads-up display and a voice-assisted sunroof – all of which will be made available on the regular Altroz at a later stage. The Racer line-up will also get six airbags and ESC as standard.
The Altroz Racer will be positioned as the flagship version of the premium hatch and will likely be priced between Rs 10 lakh to Rs 12.52 lakh (ex-showroom). It will directly rival the Hyundai i20 N Line, while also face competition from the turbo variants of Maruti Fronx and Toyota Taisor.
