Most Helpful Review

Citroen C3 Live 1.2 Petrol

Looks are stunning at this price range. Suspension is awesome. The second servicing was done recently. The base variant does not have a central locking feature. I got it installed in the aftermarket. Engine performance is also good. Mileage is around 19 With AC and Four passengers

Best in this segment

Everything is superb in this car. The comfort it offers on highways is unmatchable. It gives an aggressive look that I love about this car. Also, tata has kept in mind the minor details so that the features can be useful for the passengers. It is a very smooth car, all you need to do is just maintain the service schedule. Thanks Tata.

Good car for those who looking for compact SUV segments

Very good deal, even in basic version we get almost all the feature, its a very comfortable front and rear rows sitting, build quality is also good since a ncap 4 rated car, coming to performance found little slow.

Tata Altroz CNG First Drive Review

By Ninad Ambre29 May 2023

This is the new CNG variant of the Tata Altroz. It joins the CNG portfolio of the carmaker, alongside the Tiago and Tigor. Its prime competitors are the Maruti Suzuki Baleno and the Toyota Glanza which are also offered in CNG versions but fewer variants; the Altroz CNG can be had in as many as six variants. Does this and the new segment-first features make it any good? We find out in this review.
