Engine and Gearbox
Three engine options are available for the Tata Altroz: a 1.5-liter diesel engine (90 PS/200 Nm), a 1.2-liter naturally aspirated petrol engine (86 PS/113 Nm), and a 1.2-liter turbo-petrol engine (110 PS/140 Nm). The naturally aspirated petrol engine is also equipped with a 6-speed dual-clutch gearbox (DCT), in addition to the standard 5-speed manual gearbox for all three engines.
The CNG version has 1.2-liter naturally aspirated petrol engine only comes with a 5-speed manual gearbox. 73.5 PS and 103 Nm are produced by this engine.
Performance
The light clutch and well-fitting gears make the frequent gear changes enjoyable. There is only one manual gearbox with five speeds available for the gearbox. Though the car ascended a steep slope in first gear without stopping or the tyres losing grip and screeching, prospective buyers won't have to worry. You can accelerate and gain speed thanks to the high ratio between the second and third gears.
