Tata teases new Altroz before Christmas

Is Tata gearing up to launch a special edition Altroz?

Tata has teased a new Altroz a few days before Christmas. The video released shows a red Altroz and the wordings "Your Santa Altroz" and "Coming Soon".

It is unclear what this new Altroz is. But from the comments on the video, it is clear that it is not an automatic variant. It could be a special edition or it could also be the turbocharged version.

The Altroz is available with a 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder, naturally aspirated petrol engine that produces 85 BHP @ 6,000 rpm and 113 Nm @ 3,300 rpm. It also comes with a 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel unit that puts out 89 BHP @ 4,000 rpm and 200 Nm @ 1,250-3,000 rpm. Both engines come paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.

The turbo petrol variant is expected to be powered by a 1.2-litre engine that produces 108 BHP @ 5,500 rpm and 140 Nm @ 1,500-5,500 rpm. It is expected to be paired to a 5-speed manual transmission. It could also get a dual-clutch automatic transmission.
