Verdict

The R2 variant of the Tata Altroz Racer packs a lot of features for its price. Not only does it get a stylish design and an upmarket cabin, but also has plenty of useful tech on board. It’s the right balance between the ‘needs’ and ‘wants’ from the entire lineup of the sportier Altroz. You can consider stretching to the top-spec R3 variant only if you want the full premium experience of the Altroz Racer and a few additional features including front ventilated seats.

The most direct rival to the Tata Altroz Racer is the Hyundai i20 N Line but alternatives also include turbo-petrol variants of the Maruti Fronx and Toyota Taisor.
