Tata Motors is going to launch the Altroz Racer Edition next month. The performance-oriented hatchback, previously showcased at prestigious events like the Auto Expo and the Bharat Mobility Global Expo, promises a fusion of style and power. In its concept form, the Altroz Racer wowed audiences with its dynamic design cues. Expect enhancements like a striking dual-tone paint job, sleek black alloy wheels, and updated bumpers exuding a sporty vibe. The addition of a larger roof-mounted spoiler further accentuates its athletic stance.
Inside, the sporty theme continues with a black and orange dashboard complemented by orange stitching on the steering wheel, upholstery, and door pads. Technology takes center stage with features like a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system boasting the latest UI, ventilated leatherette front seats, a 360-degree camera, voice-activated electric sunroof, and a comprehensive safety suite including six airbags as standard.
Under the hood, the Altroz Racer packs a punch with a potent 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine sourced from the Nexon lineup, delivering an impressive 120 PS and 170 Nm of torque. While initially offered with a 6-speed manual transmission, anticipation looms for the potential introduction of a 6-speed DCA transmission variant. Tata Motors boldly claims the Altroz Racer to be India’s safest and fastest hatchback, setting the stage for a thrilling performance showdown. With rivals like the Hyundai i20 N Line, boasting similar power figures and transmission options, the competition promises to be fierce in the hot hatch segment.
