The Tata Altroz Racer draws its power from a 1.2-liter turbocharged petrol engine borrowed from Nexon. The engine is tuned for a capacity of 120 horsepower and maximum torque of 170 Nm, combined with a 6-speed manual transmission. Tata hasn’t announced plans to launch a Racer version yet, but we expect the majority of the changes to make their way into the updated Altroz at a later date this year. The better equipped hatchback will also compete with the Maruti Suzuki Baleno, Toyota Glanza and similar models in the segment.
