Tata’s premium hatchback may very well be the most value for money proposition in its segment. However, it has also remained largely underappreciated as it has not yet been able to overtake its competition in terms of sales. Tata Altroz gets three engine options with a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, a 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine, and a 1.5-litre turbo diesel engine. Tata Altroz is available from Rs. 6 lakhs (ex-showroom).
