New Infotainment System and Driver Display
One of the most significant updates is the introduction of a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, replacing the current 7-inch unit in higher-spec variants. This larger screen, similar to the one in the Tata Punch EV, will also feature Tata's new operating system. Additionally, the infotainment unit will support wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, enhancing connectivity and user experience. Tata has upgraded both the infotainment screen and the driver's display in the Altroz's cabin. Higher-spec variants will now boast a 7-inch full-digital driver's display.
Safety Features
Previously, the standard Altroz was equipped with dual front airbags, even in the top-spec variant. With the introduction of the Altroz Racer, Tata will extend the safety feature to include six airbags in the regular variants as well. This significant enhancement highlights Tata's commitment to improving safety for all occupants.
Advanced Camera Technology
Another notable addition in the Altroz facelift will be the 360-degree camera system. This feature includes a blind view monitor, which displays a feed on the touchscreen whenever the driver activates the turn indicator. This technology, borrowed from Tata's newer models, enhances safety and convenience, particularly during parking and lane changes.
New Turbo-Petrol Engine
Tata Altroz has traditionally been offered with three engine options - a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, a 1.5-litre diesel and a 1.2-litre turbo-petrol. The turbo-petrol engine will now be replaced by the more powerful 1.2-litre unit from the Tata Nexon, specifically for the Altroz Racer. This engine change is expected to provide a significant performance boost. However, it is anticipated that the Altroz facelift will not include the new turbo-petrol engine option, reserving this powerful engine exclusively for the Racer variant.
Launch & Price
The Tata Altroz Racer is scheduled to be launched on June 7, with the Altroz facelift expected to debut alongside it. The Altroz Racer is projected to be priced from Rs 10 lakh (ex-showroom) onwards. Meanwhile, the Altroz facelift is likely to carry a price premium over the current model, which ranges from Rs 6.65 lakh to Rs 10.80 lakh (ex-showroom).
