Tata Altroz Turbo Petrol is scheduled to launch on January 13. The same was teased by Tata Motors on their Intagram and Youtube channel with the caption – Turbocharge Into 2021 | ALTROZ.
Tata Altroz turbo petrol will draw power from the 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbocharged motor that already powers the Nexon. Compared to the SUV, the engine will be slightly detuned to produce about 108 bhp and 150 Nm of peak torque. In contrast, the same unit produces about 118 bhp and 170 Nm of peak torque on the Tata Nexon facelift. Tata is likely to pair the turbo petrol on the Altroz with the 5-speed manual gearbox at the time of launch, while a DCT automatic will join the line-up at a later stage.
The turbo petrol variant will compete with the new-generation Hyundai i20 1.0 Turbo GDi and the Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI in the segment.
