Tata Motors ventured into the premium hatchback segment early this year with the launch of the Altroz. Within a short period of time, the new Tata Altroz has become a very popular car in the Indian market. It was launched in January this year in a total of five variants. But, now the company has launched a new variant of the Altroz called XM+. The new Tata Altroz XM+ comes loaded with a lot of goodies at a very affordable price. It has been priced at Rs. 6.6 lakhs, Ex-showroom Delhi. Here are all the details about it.
The new XM+ variant of the Tata Altroz slots in between the XM and the XT variants of the car. Talking about the new add-ons and features in this XM+ variant, it gets new steering-mounted controls, R16 wheels with full stylized wheel covers, etc. However, the major feature upgrade in the XM+ variant is the addition of a touchscreen system. It gets a big 7.0-inch (17.78 cms) floating-type touchscreen infotainment system by Harman with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity. It also gets voice alerts and voice command recognition along with a remote foldable key.
All these creature-comfort feature additions make the new mid-spec Altroz XM+ variant a great value for money buying package as they will provide an enjoyable driving experience to the customer. The new Altroz XM+ trim will be available in four colour variants - High Street Gold, Downtown Red, Avenue White and Midtown Grey.
