Tata Altroz to get new tech and safety features

The 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine is expected to be offered on the Altroz Racer only.

According to a media report, Tata Motors is likely to introduce three new variants of the Altroz with new tech and safety features.

The report states that the Altroz will soon get a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system on the higher variants, while the lower trims will continue to be offered with the 7-inch head unit.

As far as safety features are concerned, the Altroz will reportedly get a 360-degree camera with a blind view monitor. This feature is likely to be offered from the XZ Lux trim onwards. Tata is also likely to offer 6 airbags on the top-spec 'XZ+ S Lux' variant of the hatchback.

The news comes as Tata Motors is gearing up to launch the Altroz Racer – a sporty version of the premium hatchback, in the Indian market. The report also states that going forward, leatherette seats will be exclusive to the Altroz Racer.

Besides the new features, the standard Altroz will remain mechanically unchanged. It will be available with the same 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engine options. That being said, the 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine is expected to be offered on the Altroz Racer only.
