Reliable predictable and consistent performance

I drove this car to Badrinath , Really enjoy the driving it's movability and engine is really very smooth Very good car If you drive between 60 to 70 km/h We get average 20++ AC is very effective

Best hatchback car Tata Altroz

This car is best hatchback of tata motors I love this car from his features, interior look, exterior look. This car is so cool car and it is obtained 5 star rating in global ncap and I love safe car.

Good mileage

I want to start from front. The headlights are not that strong (average) .Car Performance is quite punche as it produces 83bhp and 114Nm torque(petrol), wheels on this car are small 165/80 R14 ,I think it could be 175 sections tyre for better stability on covering. This car misses abs and ebd so the break are not that good. Fuel efficiency is good in city it gives 17 km/l mileage and 19 km/l in highway as per the instrument cluster shown in the car.The overall look of the is superb back side of the car looks amazing, interior is also good. It will be a plus point for maruti if they imporve the build quality of the car. Maintenance cost is also low Overall it is a wonderful car.
