Tata Altroz Racer - Engine Specs
Tata Altroz Racer stands out as it features a 1.2-litre, three-cylinder, turbo-petrol engine, identical to the one featured in the Altroz iTurbo.

Moving inside, the Tata Altroz Racer is expected to get an extended feature list as it will boast a larger 10.25-inch touchscreen showcased in newer Tata SUVs. Additionally, it is anticipated that it will incorporate segment-first features like ventilated front seats, a 360-degree camera, a heads-up display, and a voice-assisted sunroof. Moreover, it is also likely that it will feature a new leatherette upholstery featuring contrast stitching and coloured accents on the dashboard.
