Tata Motors have launched a new variant for their premium hatchback Altroz.
It is called as the ‘i-Turbo’ and it comes with a new and more powerful turbocharged petrol engine.
In addition to the introduction of this variant, the Altroz now also gets a new range-topping trim i.e. the ‘XZ+’.
In this article, we discuss all the new features which have been added to this hatchback with this update.
A new turbocharged petrol engine
Altroz’s i-Turbo variants come with a new 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine.
This unit is based on the same 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine which is available on the existing line-up of this hatchback.
The turbo-petrol engine produces 100 hp along with 140 Nm of peak torque.
It is available with a 5-speed manual gearbox. At this time, there is no automatic transmission option on offer with the Altroz i-Turbo.
Tata have introduced a new ‘Sport’ driving mode on the i-Turbo variants. This replaces the ‘Eco’ driving mode, which is available on the Altroz’s standard variants.

It will be available exclusively on the newly introduced range-topping trim XZ+.
iRA offers 27 connected car features. These include various services such as vehicle security, remote commands, locations-based services, live vehicle diagnosis among others.
Customers will be able to access all the features of the iRA connected car system with the help of a phone-based app.

Additional safety features
The Tata Altroz already ranks quite high among its competitors, when it comes to vehicle safety.
