The car also gets significant updates on the inside, as it is packed with Tata's iRA connected technology. It gets features like live vehicle diagnosis, natural voice tech, stolen vehicle tracking, geo-fencing, and more. Other additions will be Xpress cooling, two extra tweeters for Harman sound system, and multi-drive modes, among others.

As far as the mechanicals are concerned, there will be a 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine under the bonnet. It will be tuned to churn out 110bhp and 140Nm of torque while being mated to a five-speed manual gearbox. Interestingly, the Altroz turbocharged variant will not be offered with a DCT transmission, at least during the launch. However, we might see it in the future.
