Tata Motors has launched the much-anticipated Altroz Racer, with prices starting at Rs 9.49 lakh, and going upto Rs 10.99 lakh ex-showroom in India. This is the sportiest incarnation of the hatchback yet, and it will directly compete with the Hyundai i20 N Line. The Altroz Racer receives a higher-tuned version of the original 1.2-liter turbo-petrol engine, as well as visual upgrades inside and out and some new features.
Tata Altroz Racer Exterior Design
There are also a few cosmetic modifications that distinguish the sportier hatchback. It comes in three paint colors: Atomic Orange, Avenue White, and Pure Grey, all of which have a contrasting black finish with white racing stripes on the bonnet and roof; the entirely black top half creates a lovely floating look. It also sports ‘Racer’ badging on the front fenders and a slightly altered grille, but the 16-inch alloy wheels are unchanged.

The Altroz Racer’s features include a big 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, wireless smartphone connectivity, a wireless charger, a seven-inch digital instrument cluster, ventilated front seats, ambient lighting, and an air purifier.

Tata Altroz Racer Engine and Specifications
The Altroz Racer’s most prominent feature is its engine, which is the same 1.2-liter, three-cylinder, turbo-petrol engine found in the iTurbo, but produces 120hp and 170Nm, which is 10hp and 30Nm more.
The Altroz Racer gets a 6-speed manual transmission instead of the iTurbo’s 5-speed manual; there is no automatic gearbox option, but it does get a sportier-sounding exhaust system.
With the introduction of the Altroz Racer, Tata Motors has discontinued the hatchback’s previous iTurbo series. The Altroz iTurbo was powered by a detuned 110hp version of the 1.2-liter turbo-petrol engine with a 5-speed manual transmission.
