Just five months after Tata introduced the Altroz Racer, the sporty hatchback is now available with benefits that make it more attractive. All three variants get discounts up to Rs 65,000, which includes a direct cash discount and an exchange or scrappage bonus.
- Tata Altroz Racer on sale in R1, R2 and R3 variants
- All three get 120hp turbo-petrol engine and 6-speed MT
- Rivals Hyundai i20 N Line, which costs Rs 10.00 lakh-12.52 lakh
Launched on June 7, the Tata Altroz Racer is available in R1, R2 and R3 variants, with the range-topper getting features like segment-first ventilated front seats, a 360-degree camera and blind spot monitoring. Other features on offer on the top-spec variant include a new 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster, 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen, and a powered sunroof.
All three trims are powered by a 120hp, 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbo-petrol engine that comes with a 6-speed manual gearbox as standard. Depending on demand, Tata Motors is mulling an automatic version using the Nexon’s 7-speed dual-clutch unit. The company is also considering expanding the Racer brand, which could include the upcoming Altroz EV. The Racer performance sub-brand would be to Tata Motors what the N Line is to Hyundai.
Speaking of Hyundai, the Altroz Racer’s direct rival is the i20 N Line, which is powered by a 120hp, 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine that comes with manual and dual-clutch auto gearbox options. Prices for the manual range between Rs 10.00 lakh-11.42 lakh, while the automatic variants cost Rs 11.15 lakh-12.52 lakh. Interestingly, select Hyundai dealerships are offering discounts and benefits up to Rs 40,000 on the sporty Hyundai hatchback during this month.
