The following opinion is from my perspective as a user who has daily highway usage involving driving at consistent triple digit speeds on majorly great highways.. |
I have an Altroz(D) as well as a Slavia in our family for over a year and the first thing that comes to my mind is that if you travel long distances with your family, then the VW twins surely have an upper hand due to the rear legroom.
When I'm driving the Altroz, and the seat is pushed back as per my preference, there isn't much room left at the back, so rear passengers have to compromise a bit. On the other hand, in the Slavia with the same driver seat configuration, there is enough rear-legroom. The six speed gearbox of the VW twins also doesn't help the case of Altroz. If you drive mostly on highways, then the 6th-gear would surely be more fuel efficient as well as less noisy. Another thing I would like to add is that I feel the Slavia has better composure under heavy braking as compared to Altroz. Though Altroz has good braking power, I sometimes feel, it could and should have been better. Don't know whether the brakes have been updated on the Altroz Racer or not. Mod Note: Our Tata Altroz Racer Review has been taken live at this link. Please continue the discussion over on the new thread. Thanks!
