Tata Altroz is one of the most favoured hatchbacks currently on sale in India. The Racer will be the sportiest variant of the Altroz lineup and will come with a few critical upgrades over the other trims. Since its showcased at the Auto Expo earlier this year, there hasn’t been any update on the Altroz Racer. Until now, when a test mule of the same was spotted testing in Ooty, Tamil Nadu.
While the design will remain unchanged, the Altroz Racer will get sportier visual touches including a dual-tone paint scheme featuring blacked-out front grille, air dam, bonnet, alloy wheels, pillars and window sills, ORVMs, and tailgate. Other critical visual touches include white race stripes, a roof-mounted spoiler, a shark fin antenna, and a ‘Racer’ badge on the front fender.
Interiors of the Altroz Racer will also follow the sportier suit with an all-black cabin theme complemented by red accents to give the cabin a sportier contrast. The red accents are highlighted across the dashboard, AC vents, centre console, seats and centre armrest.
The Altroz Racer will get the same 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine as the Altroz iTurbo. However, it will come with a higher state of tune that will pump out 118 bhp and 170 Nm of peak torque, 10 bhp and 30 Nm over the Altroz iTurbo. This engine will be paired with a 6-speed manual transmission as standard with a 7-speed DCT automatic gearbox likely to be offered as standard.
