Fully satisfied with my Altroz diesel: Clocked 70,000 km in ~ 3 years

Thanks to my Tata Safari Storme, Punch and Maruti Celerio, the monthly average for the Altroz has been 2000 km, or else it would have clocked 1 lakh km by now!

70,000 km & 35 months of Joyful Ownership

It has been exactly 35 months since Altroz got to my garage. I have completed the 70,000 km milestone. Thanks to Storme, Punch and Celerio the monthly average has been 2000 km for Altroz, or else it would have clocked 1 lakh km now.

Totally satisfied and happy with the car. There has been no issues except for the AC recirculation motor which was replaced under warranty, twice. The new motor has been working perfectly for the last 20000 km.

I have replaced the windshield due to a crack in the Year 2. Battery was replaced a few months ago. The stock Goodyears were replaced with Continental UC6s at the 50,000 km mark. Completely satisfied with the tyre performance too.

Fuel efficiency has always been excellent. I am using Xtragreen diesel predominantly (3 refills xtragreen and the 4th will be normal diesel and the cycle repeats).

Overall FE for 70,000 km : 17.75 kmpl

For my kind of driving, 18 kmpl is an amazing FE!

This year saw very less usage of Altroz as I was suffering/recovering from a weight lifting injury that affected my lowerback. Naturally, I was using Storme more. I have driven Altroz more in the last few months.

Completed just 10,000 km this year as of now

To mark the 70,000 km milestone, I gave a nice wash and Wax to the Altroz.

The car still looks fresh out of the showroom floor. It will be 3 years old in November.
