Do you really expect companies to respond to every media claim? They won't, unless it causes any damage to the company.

As for the official confirmation, there was one. And there's even a thread on this : https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/india...ransition.html (Tata Motors completes BS6 Phase II transition)

I am saying this because I can see Altroz diesel is on sale still today.
Even deliveries are happening across the country.
Does anyone have any official information?

Here is a video of how the BS6.2 Altroz Diesel sounds. It can also be seen that it's BS6.2 because it is specifically mentioned beside the chassis number.

Hello folks,

Having just joined Team BHP, let me introduce myself. My name is Viraj and I'm from Mumbai. It gives me immense pleasure to be a part of this community and am looking forward to share and read many interesting stories.

Having used my 2nd hand WagonR (bought it to learn driving) for almost 2 years now, it's time I upgrade and buy my first new car. After much research, I have narrowed down on Altroz iTurbo. Need help with below points before I actually go and book it.

1. Does it make sense to buy one in 2023 over Kiger (my other shortlisted car)
2. Has anyone bought Tata cars via Wasan Tata? I have been given big promises of car delivery in 2 weeks, which I personally feel is being overdone just to make me book faster.
3. I have heard a lot about the quality of Tata service being a hit or miss. Has there been any improvement on this front?
4. If bought, this will be a long term vehicle. I know Altroz has been around for just three years, but I would like to know if the car is reliable? I ask this as I don't intend to drive in city and the car is most likely going to be used for Highway drives to my native with my Mother. Would hate to be stuck in the middle of highway with my mum.

Thank you once again,
Viraj.

Although the brochure has been updated, the price of the incoming Altroz is not yet revealed. I'm in the market to buy an Altroz iTurbo XZ+. Not very keen on a Sunroof but I definitely want a Shark Finn antenna on such a beautiful looking car.

However, there is no mention of the updated price for the new XZ+(S); S being the sunroof edition on the website. And when I visited the Wasan Tata showroom, they do not have any idea on the price or when will the upgrade take effect. They did offer to take a pre-booking of it though. In a limbo whether I should book the current Altroz or wait for the new version

I’m in the similar boat and is waiting for the newer version for the sake of Rear USB charging socket and Shark finn antenna .
Not too keen about the sunroof as it will lower down the headroom.

The CNG varient would be launched this month so expect the features to be distributed to the regular varients at the same time.

Another thing to note is they’ve removed leatherette seat covers and excluded Air purifier from XZ+(S) which is a shame IMHO.

Yes. And and the omission isn't limited to that. They have also removed IRA, smartphone connectivity, location based service gasification etc. However, I don't think this is a deal breaker. I anyway didn't see myself using much of those. But will miss the leather seats
But the plus side is I am hoping this will keep the price very competitive. I'll probably just go ahead and book the xz+s and if they price it absurdly then I'll go with the regular xz+ and will try and ignore the ugly antenna on top

Rumour: Tata Altroz to get XM+ (S) Petrol, Diesel & CNG variants

According to a media report, Tata Motors is likely to introduce a new mid-spec variant of the Altroz. The new 'XM+ (S)' trim is expected to be positioned between the 'XM+' and 'XT' trims and could be offered with all three powertrain options.



The report also states that the XM+ (S) variant will get a few additional features over the XM+ trim. These include a shark fin antenna, a digital instrument cluster for the CNG version, a knitted roof liner and rain-sensing wipers.

The Altroz XM+ (S) will be offered with the usual set of petrol and diesel engines. The 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol unit puts out 87 BHP @ 6,000 rpm and 15 Nm @ 3,250 rpm, while the 1.5-litre turbo diesel puts out 89 BHP @ 4,000 rpm and 200 Nm @ 1,250-3,000 rpm. The new variant will also be available with a CNG powertrain.

IIRC the diesel is already discontinued in altroz correct?

[Phantom 510]

Hope Tata offers three adjustable rear head restraints as a standard feature across the variants soon. Or else the 5 star safety score won't be of much use in real world for the lower trim levels especially.

No, it is the only diesel hatchback on sale in India now.

An ace up the sleeve - that TaMo seems to be wasting away rather terribly. Such a dynamically sorted diesel hatchback which is fun to drive. If only TaMo shoves in some sort of an AT in the mix, while sacrificing some margin at the beginning. It will set the sales charts alight I suspect. Even an AMT for that matter like the Nexon! As a stop gap - it will do. Unless - they already intend to surprise us with the DCA...Sigh.

Rather than a sunroof (dhuh) the Diesel Altroz begs for an automatic transmission IMHO.

[Varun7774]

TATA should launch the performance version of ALTROZ....something like 1.5 newly developed turbo petrol engine.

[Unohu]

So Tata have officially unveiled their prices for the iCNG on their website. Hopefully the Sunroof and the shark fin antennas feature will be carried forward to the petrol, turbo and diesel variants.

What's your take on the prices?

The Unexplainable price difference in accessories at Dealer end

Chose the following accessories through Tata Dealer - Rudra Motors. Sharing the price difference from Tata's official website pricing data in their brochure.



No explanation available from dealer.

Tata Motors reply for the query in Twitter is below:



Still i'm planning to write to Tata Motors at their email with the available details. Similar confusion is there with respect to their variant classification in website to brochure.
