Tata Altroz Racer Launched In India At ₹9.49 Lakh

The Tata Altroz Racer has been launched in India and prices start at ₹9.49 lakh and go up to ₹10.99 lakh (introductory, ex-showroom, India). It is the performance-oriented version of the Altroz and gets a more powerful engine, a few cosmetic updates and many new features.

The Altroz Racer gets three dual-tone paint schemes with twin racing strips and ‘Racer’ and 'i-Turbo+' badges on the exterior along with minimal use of chrome. It gets the same alloy wheels but with a blacked-out finish.

Inside, the biggest change to the standard Altroz is the new 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen. The Altroz Racer also gets ventilated seats, ambient lighting, contrast stitching, a 360-degree camera, a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, a sunroof and a wireless charger. On the safety front, it gets six airbags as standard, a blind-spot monitor, cruise control, ESC and more.

Under the hood, the Altroz Racer has the 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine from the Nexon, which produces 118 bhp and 170 Nm mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. The Altroz Racer has 10 bhp and 30 Nm more than the 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine in the Altroz i-Turbo.

Bookings for the Altroz Racer began earlier this month for a token amount of ₹21,000 and deliveries will begin by June 8, 2024. In comparison, the standard Altroz is priced between ₹6.65 - 10.65 lakh and its chief rival, the Hyundai i20 N Line is priced between ₹10 - 12.52 lakh. (All prices, ex-showroom, India).
