Tata Altroz Racer To Launch In India On June 7

Tata Motors has announced that the Altroz Racer will launch in India on June 7, 2024. Ahead of that, bookings for the Tata Motors hatchback have begun accepting bookings. The Racer is a performance-oriented version of the Altroz. 

The Altroz Racer will primarily rival the i20 N Line. Unlike the N Line, which only has a few mechanical updates over the standard i20 and doesn’t get any bump in power, the Altroz Racer will. It is expected to come with a 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine from the Nexon with 118 bhp and 170 Nm on tap, 10 bhp and 30 Nm more than the Altroz i-Turbo which also gets a 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine. While the standard Altroz gets a 5-speed manual gearbox, the Altroz Racer is likely to get a 6-speed manual gearbox instead. 

Cosmetically, the Altroz Racer will be slightly different to the standard Altroz. It will come with dual-tone paint schemes with twin stripes in the middle, different alloy wheels, ‘Racer’ badges and minimal use of chrome. 

Inside, the Altroz Racer will get an all-black cabin with contrast stitching as well as contrast stringing in the middle. It is also likely to debut with the larger, 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen that has been a much-anticipated feature. A teaser shared by Tata Motors confirms that the Altroz Racer will come with ventilated front seats. It is also likely to get a 360-degree camera, a head-up display, a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, a sunroof and a wireless charger. 

The Altroz Racer is likely to be priced between ₹9.5 - 11 lakh. The standard Altroz is priced between ₹6.65 - 10.65 lakh. The i20 N Line, in comparison, is priced between ₹10 - 12.52 lakh. (All prices ex-showroom, India)
