Tata Altroz 30 Detailed Images Will Rival Maruti Baleno Hyundai Elite i20

• , at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show. It is the second car to be based on the company's Impact Design 2.0 philosophy. It looks quite sharp, if you ask us.

• The Altroz' face gets a lot of sharp elements like the lines on the bonnet, a black lip at the tip of the hood, angular fog lamp housings and a sleek lower lip on the bumper.

• The grille gets the same honeycomb pattern seen on other Tata cars but adds a few opaque panels towards the end, which does look quite neat.

• The window line gets a kink close to the A-pillar, which should offer better visibility. Both the roof and the shoulder line converge for a sporty look and the ORVMs gets an all-black finish, which compliments the window underline.

• From the rear three quarters, the Altroz is a bit polarising as the tailgate has a multi-layer design.

• The gloss-black section sticks out the back and looks a bit busy.

• The tail lamps, however, look quite interesting with a black surround.

• The roof-mounted spoiler adds more sporty character to the rear design.

• From the side, the Altroz look quite muscular with its flanked wheel arches and strong character lines.

• Even from this angle, the tail section looks busy and splits opinions.

• The car showcased at Geneva sits on 17-inch alloy wheels, which will most likely be downsized to 15-inch units in the production-spec car.

• The interior is dressed in all-black with contrast body-coloured elements around the AC vents, as seen on the latest cars from Tata.

• The centre console layout is quite neat with the touchscreen placed on top, audio controls in the middle and the switches for the automatic climate control at the bottom.

• It gets a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system that supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

• The steering wheel is a leather-wrapped, flat-bottom unit which has cruise control buttons on the right and audio controls on the left. The instrument cluster, like the Harrier, features a digital display for vehicle-related data and tachometer.

• Powering the Tata Altroz is a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine. The hatchback is.

• The petrol engine produces 102PS of maximum power at 5500rpm and 140Nm of peak torque in the 1750-4000rpm range.

• The engine will be paired to a 5-speed manual transmission.

• If you are eying an automatic, you might have to wait a bit as Tata is yet to reveal if the Altroz will get a two-pedal setup.

• However, if you do not want the petrol engine, Tata has one alternative.

• Say hello to the.

• While the key elements of the design remain the same, it gets a tweaked bumper as an EV does not require an air dam.

• From the side, the EV looks identical to the petrol-variant aside from a few small changes.

• It gets 18-inch wheels. However, it's unlikely that they will make their way into the production-spec car.

• At the rear, changes are limited and both the EV and the IC-powered car look the same.

• The lower lip of the bumper does not get reflectors and hence looks much cleaner.

• The Altroz EV features a futuristic dashboard that is usually found in concept cars.

• The centre console is dominated by two large screens - one for the infotainment system and the other for climate control functions. However, this setup is unlikely to make it to the production version.

• The EV does not need gears. Hence, you only get a drive mode selector.

• The Altroz is set to be launched in India by mid-2019. We expect it to be priced between Rs 5.5 lakh to Rs 8.5 lakh. The Altroz EV will come to India as well, but much later in 2020.
