Last month, the Tata Altroz was spotted
amid an ad-shoot in Minsk, Belarus and was also seen road-testing in India on
multiple occasions in its production ready form. Now, in a fresh development,
it has been spied yet again ahead of its early 2020 launch. The latest batch of
spy images is courtesy Autocar India.
Tata came up with the 45X concept at the
2018 Auto Expo and then carried forward the momentum with a close-to-production
version of the Altroz which made its way to the 2019 Geneva Motor Show. The
company also teased the same in its official videos which threw light on its
exterior and interior details. Though the latest spy pictures are of a fully
camouflaged Altroz, details of its outer appearance are already well known to
the masses. The camouflage hides a relatively unchanged body which is a replica
of the Altroz Geneva Edition introduced in March this year.
The new model gets a wide front grille
flanked by blacked-out dual-barrel projector headlamps, a slim humanity line
and a beefy front bumper large mid-set fog lamps. At the rear, the Tata Altroz
gets a unique two-part boot-lid which makes for a rather complicated 3-D
tailgate design. Its tail lamps elements are bridged by a translucent black
appliqué which runs across the width of its tailgate.
Step inside and you'll see that the Altroz
sports a a dual-tone grey and black interior scheme. It makes use of a
flat-bottom steering wheel with silver inserts, and also features contrast
white stitching on the seats. Also, as revealed previously, it is all set to
receive a floating type infotainment display, ambient lighting, Google
Assistant function along with a semi-digital instrument cluster and cruise
control.
As reported earlier, the Tata Altroz will
sport three engine options, including a 85 PS 1.2-litre petrol unit of the
Tiago, a 102 PS version of the Nexon's 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol unit and a
90 PS version of the Nexon's 1.5-litre turbocharged diesel unit. When launched,
expect the Tata Altroz to be priced around the INR 5-9 lakh (ex-showroom) price
range.
