With the implementation of BS6 phase II emission standards fast approaching, Tata has revamped its ICE lineup – petrol, diesel, and CNG models – with RDE and E20 (20 percent blend of ethanol with fuel) compliant engines.
Altroz and Punch Now Has Improved Low-End
As per Tata, the Revotron 1.2-litre petrol engine offered on Altroz and Punch has been tuned to provide good low-end performance, as well as smoother power delivery in lower gears, eliminating the need for frequent downshifting.
In addition, the idle start/stop feature is now standard on all variants of each of these cars. The inclusion of this function will have a direct advantage on the fuel efficiency of these vehicles.

Good news for diesel buyers
Although it has been said that the impending RDE requirements would have an influence on many small and subcompact diesel vehicles, Tata's diesel engines are not going away. The manufacturer has confirmed that the 1.5-litre Revotorq diesel engine – offered with Altroz and Nexon – will remain in the market, since it now fulfills the more stringent requirements.
