If you are specifically looking for a turbo-petrol model, the Altroz Racer clearly is the most feature-loaded model here. It comes with amenities like a 10.25-inch touchscreen system, 8-speaker sound system, ventilated front seats, a single-pane sunroof, and rain sensing wipers.
-
The i20 N Line and Fronx miss out on ventilated front seats and rain sensing wipers, while the Fronx also doesn’t get a sunroof.
-
Maruti’s subcompact crossover however comes with a heads up display, which shows information like speed, rpm, average fuel economy, and etc. This feature is missing on both Altroz Racer and Fronx.
-
In terms of safety, both i20 N Line and Altroz Racer get six airbags as standard, and Fronx only offers six airbags with its higher-spec variants.
-
The Altroz Racer and Fronx also get a 360-degree camera over the i20 N Line. The Altroz Racer additionally also features blind spot monitor which is not there in the Fronx.
Final Takeaway
If you prioritise features and are open to letting go of the absence of an automatic gearbox, the Altroz Racer is an ideal choice. However, if you prefer a powerful petrol hatchback with an automatic transmission, the i20 N Line remains the best option here. It should be noted, though, that the i20 N Line lacks some premium amenities like ventilated front seats and a 360-degree camera as seen on its other similarly priced rivals here. On the other hand, if you want a turbo-petrol engine in the shape of an SUV with all necessary features and automatic transmission option, the Fronx is also worth considering.
