Tata Altroz Racer Launch Date: How Much Will This Hot Hatch Cost?

The Altroz Racer will come with a 1.2 litre turbo petrol engine which develops 118bhp while it will exclusively be available with a 6- speed manual gearbox

Tata Motors will launch the Altroz Racer performance hatchback on the 7th of June and it is a performance oriented version of the Altroz hatchback. The Altroz Racer will come with a 1.2 litre turbo petrol engine which develops 118bhp while it will exclusively be available with a 6- speed manual gearbox.

There are three variants namely R1, R2 and R3. That said, Tata Motors will equip the car with a sportier sounding exhaust which will give it a louder engine note when compared to standard Altroz turbo. It remains to be seen whether the Altroz Racer will get a tuned suspension or a tweaked steering. That said the other big feature update comes from the new 10.25 inch touchscreen system which comes with the latest infotainment system from Tata Motors.

Other features include a blind view monitor plus a 360 degree view camera while it will also get ventilated seats. Just like the exterior the interior will get colour accents as on the exterior along with sportier looking seats. There will also be an air purifier.

In terms of the pricing expect the Altroz Racer to be priced higher with the starting price being above Rs 10 lakh while the topend could reach Rs 11 lakh.

The Altroz Racer will compete with the likes of the Hyundai i20 Nline while it will also rival the likes of the Maruti Fronx which also comes with a turbo petrol plus other sub compact SUVs which come with this type of powertrain. The Altroz Racer was first previewed as a concept and now we get the production version while a review of this car will be coming soon as we will drive it post it's launch.
