The 2023 hatchback additionally gets idle start stop technology as part of the standard package right from the entry-level variant, which helps in increasing the efficiency. So the updated Altroz petrol should be more easy on the pocket as well. And if you want to further reduce your running cost, Altroz also has a diesel engine which delivers a whopping 23.64 kmpl.

Its torquey nature assures that you won't have a dull moment driving it.

However, the Altroz Diesel also makes up in fuel efficiency, with a class leading economy of 23.64kmpl. So with these efficiency numbers, you can have performance which will be economical as well.

It Gets A Turbo-Petrol Engine Too!

For those who want a petrol Altroz but with the dash of performance, Tata also offers a turbo-petrol engine here. The 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine claims 110PS and 140Nm. Its driveability is impressive and has enough grunt for quick sprints. Not only is the Altroz iTurbo more enjoyable to drive but it's more capable than its naturally aspirated petrol counterpart.
