The Tata Altroz Racer carves out a unique niche in the hatchback market, blending practicality with sporty flair. This hatchback offers the spaciousness and functionality of a compact SUV while maintaining the sleek design and driving dynamics typically associated with hot hatches. The Altroz Racer's rigid platform translates to a comfortable ride and sharp handling, confidence-inspiring for both everyday commutes and twisty roads.
One of the most significant improvements in the Altroz Racer lies under the hood. Gone is the fuel-efficient but underpowered engine, replaced by a potent powerplant that delivers a satisfying 170 Nm of torque.
This new engine infuses the Altroz Racer with much-desired excitement, transforming it from a sensible choice to a thrilling one. While the gear shifting might not be the smoothest compared to some competitors, the long third gear and broad torque band make everyday driving a breeze.
