Under the hood, the hatchback is more likely to get the Nexon’s 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine. The said powertrain is capable of generating 110bhp and transmitting 175Nm of torque to propel the car. As of now, it is not clear that Tata would offer Altroz with a diesel engine or not? While at the transmission front, we expect a 5-speed manual unit as standard and AMT could be on offer as an option. Not even this, A pure electric version of the Altroz is also on the cards of carmaker by 2020 which is rated to convey the travel range of approx 300km in a single charge.

In the segment, it will take combat with the rivals like Maruti Baleno, Hyundai Elite i20, Honda Jazz and Volkswagen Polo.
