Tata has showcased an array of concepts ranging from new and upcoming cars to its soon-to-be introduced advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) tech at Auto Expo 2023. On the sidelines of these unveilings, the carmaker also revealed the Altroz Racer, a sportier iteration of the premium hatchback.

Gets A More Powerful Engine

The major distinction between the standard Altroz and Altroz Racer is under the hood. While the former can be had with a 110PS/140Nm turbo-petrol engine with a five-speed MT, the latter has been gifted the Nexon’s 120PS/170Nm turbocharged unit, mated to a six-speed manual gearbox or a six-speed AMT. No alterations have been made to the ride and handling setup of the premium hatchback to accommodate the increase in performance.

The Altroz Racer also gets a revised upholstery with sporty details and the ‘Racer’ insignia embossed on the headrests. Its equipment list includes a sunroof and a larger touchscreen system.
