It has been in news since a really long time that Tata Motors is soon going to launch the Altroz Turbo Petrol in India. However hitherto, its launch plan has been delayed multiple times, thanks to the coronavirus pandemic and some other factors. But now, it seems that Tata Motors is all set to join the bandwagon of turbocharged premium hatchbacks. The upcoming Altroz Turbo has been spied on test in India several times with and without any camouflage. Along with the new turbo petrol mill, the company will also introduce a new colour variant. The new blue colour variant of the Tata Altroz Turbo Petrol has been recently spotted in flesh. Let's have a closer look at its images.
This is the new blue colour variant of the upcoming BS6 Tata Altroz Turbo Petrol that has been recently spotted in flesh. This new blue colour variant might be of the Altroz Turbo Petrol might be officially known as the Marino Blue colour shade. It might be named as Tectonic Blue too as this new blue colour looks completely identical to the Nexon's Blue shade. The blue colour paint scheme of the Tata Nexon is officially known as Tectonic Blue. Talking about the other changes in this car, so as of now in pictures, the upcoming Tata Altroz Turbo Petrol looks completely identical to its non-turbo models. However, it does get a new iTurbo badge on the tailgate. Also, it might be possible that the company will add some sporty inserts inside and out on the production-spec model to differentiate it from the non-turbo variants.
Now, before we begin with the specification of this new turbo petrol engine, let me give you a quick description of the Altroz. So, the all-new Tata Altroz BS6 was launched in the Indian market in January 2020. Since launch, the Altroz has been offered with two different engine options. One of them is a BS6-compliant 1.2-litre, naturally-aspirated, three-cylinder Revotron petrol engine that churns out 86 PS of maximum power and 113 Nm of torque. It also gets a BS6-compliant 1.5-litre, four-cylinder, turbocharged Revotorq diesel engine. This diesel motor churns out 90 PS of power and 200 Nm of torque. Both the engines come mated to a five-speed manual gearbox and there is no automatic transmission on offer. While the diesel motor is very good, the naturally-aspirated three-cylinder petrol mill is average at best, considering it is a premium hatch and the rivals offer better petrol engines.
So, Tata Motors will launch the Altroz Turbo. The upcoming Altroz Turbo will be powered by a BS6-compliant 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine. This turbo petrol motor will churn out 110 PS of maximum power at 5500 RPM and 140 Nm of peak torque between 1500-5500 RPM. The engine will come mated to Tata's TA65 manual gearbox which is a five-speed unit. The company will also introduce a 7-speed (DCT) dual-clutch transmission with the Altroz at a later point of time or else it might be now offered from the day-one of launch too. Finally, talking about the price, so the prices of the manual variants of the Tata Altroz will most likely start from Rs. 7.99 lakhs and it might go up to Rs. 8.75 lakhs. All prices stick to Ex-showroom Delhi.
