#Tata Altroz Diesel Review

[gaadikey]

Introduction

Tata Motors have reinvented themselves to becoming a big player in the Indian auto sector with its last three or four products. The Tiago started it all while the Nexon and Harrier took Tata Motors to a new level in terms of desirability. The key changes have to be design, features and new line-up of engines. Now it moves to the Altroz.

The premium hatchback segment has exploded over the years and the reason is quite simple: you get style, performance, features plus space but you are not buying a big or a costly car. However for the Altroz the competition is very severe with the likes of the Baleno, i20, Glanza and others. So can the Altroz stand out? Here is a detailed review.

Looks

Yes, we have yet another good looking Tata Motors car and we might say amongst the best. The Altroz looks stunning and is a balanced but aggressive design. While shades of the Tata Bolt can be seen, the proportions are muscular, sharp and just perfect. I love the front headlamps which sweep back while the rising window line along with the black accents just round up the package well.

The contrast black elements like the grille, airdam, roof plus even the mirrors all just look sporty while the extensive use of black at the rear also works together with the tail-lamps. The big 16inch alloys also look fantastic. The Altroz is wider than rivals which gives it a low stance too. In terms of colours the red looks great but the golden signature colour pops out in the flesh with terrific paint quality!

Interiors

Inside there has been a sporty theme kept with the Nexon like silver finish dash and you will also see a line sweeping all across the cabin and mimics the steering wheel design. The cabin looks sporty and also well done. Plus we like the new look steering wheel also! Quality is a leap forward and improved from even the likes of the Harrier or Nexon. There is a maturity and improved quality level here especially with the trim, finish and plastics used.

The 7inch touchscreen is well integrated while unlike the Harrier the thought to practicality has been kept in check with an easy to use USB port location and storage. Unlike the Nexon the gear lever is also not very big and perfect. The only thing we did not like is the instrument cluster with the part digital layout. While the digital screen hosts a lot of info and looks good the speedo looks downright cheap and does not belong here.

In terms of space and practicality the Altroz scores well as the door pockets are big plus there are numerous storage places all over however the best bit is the huge glovebox with it being cooled also! Seats are also very comfortable plus offer the right bolstering too! A big USP is the 90 degree door opening feature as getting in and out is easier.

At the rear the headroom is more than enough while legroom is good and yes you can fit three at the back. The boot is alongside rivals at 345litres. 

Features

The Altroz sets new standards here and Tata Motors have crammed in a lot. Of course the basic stuff is here like a 7inch touchscreen with Android Auto/Apple Carplay, projectors with LED DRLs, steering controls, reverse camera with sensors, rear ac vents, cruise control, climate control, push button start/stop, Harman audio, two airbags standard etc but the Altroz also adds in a wearable key, ambient lighting, rain sensing wipers, fast charging at front/rear, drive modes, electric tailgate release, an instrument display which mirrors the dash display and more.

Some of these features are first in class plus we might add that the audio system sounds fantastic and the touchscreen has good useability too!

Driving

The Altroz gets two BS6 compliant engines with a 5-speed manual as standard. There is no automatic now. The petrol is a BS6 1.2l three cylinder with 86 bhp and 113Nm while the diesel is a BS6 1.5l four cylinder with 90 bhp and 200Nm. We drove the petrol first and at first impressions it is a decent motor. It is more refined than other Tata cars and at low speeds it works well. The engine is tractable and in the city mode (there are two modes: City and Eco) there was no need for downshifts.

The engine does not feel gutless and the gearing is done for comfortable city use. The clutch and gearshift is amongst the lightest and the best I have seen on a Tata car too. However when you drive it on the highway is when starts to disappoint. It just lacks punch and runs out of breath quickly. The engine feels flat at high rpms and gets noisy. We think for the Altroz the turbo petrol from the Nexon would have been a better fit. That said the petrol gets a start/stop system to save fuel and it works smoothly.

The diesel on the other hand is brilliant though. It is the only diesel BS6 in its class and makes a great case for itself. The torque is ample while the power is also there.

It feels quick and unlike the petrol does not run out of steam. On some empty Rajasthan roads the Altroz diesel crossed 150 kmph easily (done on a private stretch). It is also decently refined too. The diesel has the heavier steering though but the clutch and gearshift itself does not feel heavy. We also loved the suspension of the Altroz as it felt more like a SUV over bad roads. It feels solid at big speeds too. The ride is much better than other cars in its class!

Vs rivals

As said earlier the Altroz enters competitive waters with Baleno, Glanza, i20 plus the Polo along with the Jazz. Now we think Tata will undercut its rivals in terms of prices and that should be because the Altroz is the only without an automatic gearbox though it must be said that it is the only one with a diesel BS6. The Altroz has the most features but the Baleno/Glanza/i20 have the better petrol engine however the pricing could change things.

Verdict

We really like the Altroz and it shows how Tata Motors have matured. In terms of its segment the Altroz ticks a few crucial boxes like the superb styling, spacious interiors and features. It is also well built and compared to rivals bring an amount of freshness. However the lack of an automatic is a disadvantage and we also are not fans of its 3 cylinder petrol but if you can look beyond that the Altroz does offer you a tempting alternative to the established premium hatchbacks out there.

Tata Altroz review: How good is Tata’s Baleno, i20 and Jazz rival?

9th Dec 2019 9:00 am

Tata Motors forays into the premium hatchback section with the Altroz. Does it have the precise components?

What is it?

You first noticed it because the 45X idea at Auto Expo 2018, and then later in near-production type at Geneva 2019. What you see right here is the ultimate model of the Tata Altroz that may lastly go on sale in early 2020. In a nutshell, the Altroz is Tata Motors’ reply to the Maruti Suzuki Baleno, Hyundai i20 and Honda Jazz. Like the premium hatchbacks it goes up towards, the Tata Altroz measures only a litte underneath 4m (3,990mm to be exact) to qualify as a ‘small car’ and but guarantees large car ranges of house, refinement and consolation.

The Altroz is not solely large in dimension so far as hatchbacks go but it surely’s additionally a giant deal in Tata’s journey as a carmaker. That’s as a result of this is the primary mannequin to be constructed on the Tata’s all-new ALFA (for Agile, Light, Flexible, Advanced) structure. Along with OMEGA arc (that underpins the Harrier), the ALFA arc will type the premise of a slew of recent Tatas within the time to come back. The modular structure can assist an entire vary of physique types starting from 3.7m to 4.3m in size, and has been developed with electrification in thoughts. Doors that open 90 levels and a flat rear flooring are among the options that might be frequent to vehicles, SUVs and MPVs constructed on ALFA arc.

The Altroz additionally occurs to be the primary Tata to get BS6-compliant engines. On supply are 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol and 1.5-litre turbo-diesel engines, every allied to guide gearboxes. A petroleum-automatic with a dual-clutch transmission is within the works, and there’s additionally a extra highly effective 1.2-litre turbo-petrol that may be part of the line-up in due time. For now, we have got our arms on the variations that might be accessible at launch, and there’s heaps to speak about.

What’s it like on the surface?

Tata Motors has been on a sizzling streak so far as exterior design goes and, to our eyes not less than, the Altroz takes the story ahead with pizzazz. Sure, the silhouette is typical hatchback however the a number of stylistic prospers on the physique work cohesively to raise the general look of the car.

The shark nose-like entrance finish, the modern grille completed in black, and the massive and swept-back headlights which might be lined by a band of chrome give the Altroz its distinctive face. Some would possibly see the association as a contemporary interpretation of the unique Indica’s ‘smiling grille’, however Tata designers actually did not point out that as an inspiration. High-set fog lamps (additionally dwelling to the LED DRLs) and a sublime air dam on the bumper are different parts of curiosity up entrance.

You’ll witness a intelligent play of colors on the Altroz’s sides. The upswept home windows come underlined by a black embellishment that begins thick on the entrance and tapers in the direction of the rear, in impact, giving the phantasm of a car with a sporty tipped-forward stance; a bit Lamborghini Diablo meets mass-market hatchback.

The giant wheel arches lend the Altroz appropriate quantity too, however even the modern 16-inch ‘laser-cut’ alloys do not look fairly sufficiently big. What is certain to be a bit polarising is the position of the rear door handles; they sit on the C-pillar relatively than within the typical place on the doorways.

Tata’s designers have additionally gone for a dual-tone theme for the Altroz’s edgy tail finish. The spoiler, tail-light encompass and higher portion of the bootlid come completed in black, and look fairly sporty. Buyers even have the choice of a black roof for the total impact.

In all, the Altroz has a ‘idea car for the highway’ look about it, and that is an amazing place to begin.

What’s it like on the within?

Each of the Altroz’s 4 doorways open to 90 levels, and getting in to the entrance part of the cabin is significantly simple. First impressions as soon as inside are largely constructive too. Sure, the dashboard design is not fairly as leading edge as the outside, however you will like what you see. The Altroz’s free-standing 7.0-inch touchscreen is positioned excessive up (and therefore in clear sight), and what provides some flavour right here is the layered impact of the sprint with textured plastics for the highest, a gloss end for the centre and gentle gray supplies decrease down. Turquoise backlighting (adjustable for depth) for the raised centre console brings in some vibrancy at evening too. Material high quality is good by class requirements however there are locations the place the panel gaps aren’t constant, like the surrounds for the glovebox. What you’ll like, nonetheless, is the reassuring thunk on door shut.

  Large seats means consolation up entrance is nicely taken care of, a sliding centre armrest on top-spec vehicles is a welcome inclusion, whereas the flat-bottomed and leather-wrapped steering feels nice to carry. Frontal visibility is good too however the Altroz’s thick A-pillars do create blindspots, particularly on the close to aspect. What additionally takes some getting used to is the instrumentation. There’s a class-first combo of an analogue speedometer and digital tachometer however the squared-out dials aren’t simple sufficient to comply with. The tacho’s triangulated needle finish additionally highlights an engine pace vary relatively than a particular rpm, in case this is one thing you control. The Altroz’s 7.0-inch digital display screen additionally the informative multi-info show, and what’s good is that navigation directions from a linked smartphone are relayed right here, decreasing the necessity to look away on the major touchscreen.

  Connecting a smartphone will not be a hassle both (in contrast to on the Harrier) with the USB slot positioned in plain sight on the base of the centre console. The Altroz cabin does rating nicely on house for small gadgets too. Compartments throughout the giant 15-litre cooled glovebox make it simple to stow your pill safely and there are cupholders on the glovebox lid too do you have to wish to have an impromptu picnic. There’s one other pair of cupholders close to the gear lever, a sizeable storage bay underneath the driving force’s armrest and a 1-litre bottleholder, and even an umbrella holder on every of the entrance doorways. Storage on the again consists of giant door pockets with cabinets to maintain your telephones, and map pockets on the entrance seat again rests.

Getting onto the Altroz again seat is not as comfortable because it’s made out to be. Yes, the doorways open huge however the aperture between the seat and B-pillar is not the biggest. A comparatively high-set rear seat does assist right here, and this additionally means you get a reasonably good view out the home windows. The rear part of the Altroz cabin does not really feel as ethereal as a Jazz’s and does not supply the identical legroom that you simply’d get in a Baleno; however you actually will not have purpose to complain on both depend. There’s sufficient knee room for six footers to sit down in consolation, and it is provided that you sit bolt upright will you discover headroom sufficient however no extra. The Altroz is the widest car within the class and there is sufficient shoulder room to host three occupants on the again. What additionally makes life simpler for the center passenger is the flat flooring, which, as talked about, might be a trait on all ALFA structure Tata vehicles. The rear seat works nicely as a spot for 2 with the fold-down rear armrest positioned at simply the precise peak. What does take away from the consolation to an extent is the extreme bolstering within the lumbar area; you will end up altering place usually. A pleasant inclusion right here is a devoted 12V charging socket.

  The Tata Altroz will get a 345-litre boot which is marginally greater than the Baleno’s 339 litres and a bit lower than the Jazz’s 354 litres. The excessive loading lip could make it troublesome to load heavy baggage however the well-shaped boot means you may slot in loads of stuff. The rear seat backrest does not break up however it may be folded ahead to reinforce baggage house to 665 litres. While baggage house is beneficiant, we surprise if it’s come on the expense of gas tank capability, which is a meagre 37 litres. So to get an honest vary, good gas effectivity might be essential.

  What options does it get?

The Altroz might be accessible in 4 trims, and the vary begins with the XE that will get the protection fundamentals corresponding to ABS with EBD, twin airbags, reverse parking sensor and central locking. Drive modes and guide air-conditioning are additionally a part of the bundle. The XM-spec Altroz provides in energy home windows, a 3.5-inch infotainment system from Harman, power-adjust and folding mirrors and ambient lighting on the footwell. The XT trim provides in additional goodies by the use of a 7.0-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, 7.0-inch digital MID display screen, LED DRLs, push- button begin, a reverse digicam, cruise management and start-stop tech on the petrols. Range-topping Altroz XZ variations go the gap with 16-inch laser-cut alloy wheels, projector headlamps, auto local weather management, auto lights, rain-sensing wipers, ambient lighting, and entrance and rear armrests. A distinction roof is a paid possibility on the XZ vehicles.

  Uniquely, every of the trims is additionally provided with an add-on pack that bundles in particular options. The Rhythm pack provides Altroz XE and XM consumers the choice to improve to the infotainment programs from a trim increased. On the opposite hand, the Style pack brings in a distinction roof, stylised metal wheel and LED DRLs to the XM. XT consumers have the choice of the Luxe pack, the place you get a leather-wrapped steering wheel, height-adjustable driver’s seat and rear centre armrest. XZ consumers can even spruce up the look of their vehicles with the Urban pack that features diamond-cut alloy wheels, exterior colour-coordinated detailing within the cabin and a distinction black roof. Tata Motors says it is going to introduce extra packs and choices to the Altroz sooner or later.

Where the Altroz does lag behind the curve is in connectivity. There’s no eSIM-based linked tech (it is within the pipeline although), and even the 7.0-inch display screen does not work as slick as you need. The Harman sound system does ship honest sound high quality although.

What’s it wish to drive?

There’s a lot to love about the best way the Altroz drives. The new platform shines instantly with an amazing journey and dealing with steadiness. There is a touch of firmness to the journey however the suspension nonetheless manages to soak up the tough stuff at low speeds with ease. You really feel nicely cushioned the sooner you go and the massive spotlight is high-speed stability. The Altroz feels snug and sure-footed at triple-digit speeds, and, correspondingly, works rather well as a long-distance machine. There’s a confidence in the best way the Altroz adjustments route too. Turn-in is slick (higher so on the heavier diesel) and there is a pretty feeling of join on the steering. The electrical steering is gentle if you want it to be at low speeds, however weights up successfully as you add on pace. There is some highway noise that creeps in however, on first occasion, the ALFA structure underpinning the Altroz certain comes throughout as promising.

Where the Altroz appears to be little bit of a piece in progress is when speaking of the petrol engine. The Altroz’s petrol engine is primarily an up to date model of the Tigor’s 1.2-litre, three-cylinder unit. There’s twin variable valve timing and the compression ratio has additionally been bumped up. Resultantly, energy is as much as 86hp whereas max torque is 113Nm. The figures are par for the course for this class of car however general efficiency does go away you wanting. Part throttle responses are nice and the engine is earnest at low speeds however that pep you get in a Baleno is merely lacking, even within the extra highly effective City mode. But then once more, the Baleno weighs 146kg lower than the Altroz petrol that ideas the scales at 1,036kg – about as a lot because the i20 and Jazz.

A light-weight clutch makes the Altroz simple to stay with on the town, however once more, the 5-speed gearbox is not the slickest within the enterprise. Quickshifts aren’t it is factor. The 1.2 engine does not have a lot to provide on the prime finish and revving the engine solely attracts your consideration to the thrum from the three-cylinder engine. Auto start-stop additionally has the petrol engine come to life with a little bit of a judder.

1.5-litre diesel engine of the Tata Altroz.

In a way, it is the diesel Altroz that feels just like the extra full bundle. The 1.5-litre, four-cylinder diesel is from the Nexon albeit in a decrease 90hp and 200Nm state of tune. The energy downgrade was primarily to make the engine suitable with the 5-speed gearbox’s decrease torque ranking. But not that you simply’d really feel any lack of energy. The diesel engine can really feel a bit hesitant in on-off throttle driving, typical of our cities, but it surely’s fast to settle right into a rhythm too. The construct up of energy is linear from low down within the rev vary, and there is a delicate step up nearer to 1,800rpm. You’ll like the simple entry to energy and the consolation with which the 1,150kg Altroz diesel will get to cruising speeds. Again, this is not an engine to wind onerous; maintain it in it is consolation zone and you will handle to rake up the kilometres with out a lot fuss. If something, the engine does grow to be gravelly past 3,000rpm and it is not fairly in Hyundai diesel territory when speaking refinement. Interestingly sufficient, and a degree value highlighting is that the diesel take a look at vehicles have been operating on BS6 grade diesel introduced in from Delhi.

Of the opposite issues, the diesel Altroz’s clutch motion is gentle sufficient however the 5-speed gearbox feels its finest with light inputs.

Should I purchase one?

The Tata Altroz makes a right away impression for the best way it seems. It’s acquired a present worth that no different car on this class can match. And that counts for lots right this moment. The Altroz makes for a sensible household car too with a cabin that gives sufficient by the use of house and consolation. As an added plus, it is additionally good to drive with arguably the perfect dynamics amongst premium hatchbacks. And consumers who cowl giant distances may even discover an amazing match within the well-rounded Altroz diesel.

A peppier petrol engine, higher refinement and a larger deal with connectivity are issues on our want listing, and parts that will make the Altroz simpler to suggest. What’s a additionally a query mark for now is gas economic system. All stated, the Tata Altroz has some stable positives and has the potential to make its place within the premium hatchback section. All that is left is for Tata to cost it nicely. With a price ticket between Rs 5-Eight lakh (estimated, ex-showroom), the Altroz may simply upset the apple cart.
