Tata Altroz Microsite :

Few takeaways from Microsite and Brochure :
1. Tata Altroz gets similar variant distribution which we are well versed with, a total of Five variants XE, XM, XT, XZ & XZ(o).
2. Tata Altroz Pre-Bookings are open and the booking amount is ₹ 21,000 it can be done both online or at the dealership level.
3. Benefits of Online booking: Priority test drive once the cars are in the showroom, Priority delivery, 100% safe and secure, Free cancellation at Dealership (up to 15th Jan 2020 for customisation packs).
Free cancellation up to 15th Jan is a clear indication that Tata Altroz will arrive either by end of Jan or at the auto expo I guess we may have to wait for long for final pricing which isn't smart at all.
4. The website has “Gold Standard” all over it, Gold Standard of Design, Interior Ambience, Driving Performance, Technology, Space ergonomics, Safety and Customisations.
5. You can Compare two variants along with on the website itself which is quite handy.
6. Five colour options to choose from High Street Gold, Skyline Silver, Downtown Red, Midtown Grey and Avenue White.
7. Build your own Altroz takes you down to the “Imaginator” where you can look at the features of the car including the interior, exterior, infotainment, performance, safety, comfort convenience, colours (here you get only three options to choose from High street gold, Downtown Red and Avenue White)
8. Tata has claimed following as First-in-class features in this segment :
- C- Pillar mounted rear door handles 15 L cooled Glovebox
- Rear flat floor
- With 90-degree opening doors
- 345 boot space
- 17.78 I'm TFT Digital Instrument Cluster
- Harman Tuned Audio with 6 Speakers
- Multi-drive modes
- Alfa Architecture
9. In the Customise section in total, there are Four Packs to choose from only a specific pack can be chosen on a particular variant, after adding the pack you can view it as well.
(XZ(O) being the top variant no customisation is available as expected )
The interesting thing is all packs have the same price in the imaginator ₹ 10,000 (which I presume may change) later
10. Customisation Packs: Rhythm, Style, Luxe and Urban
- Rhythm Pack (Only for XE variant ) includes 17.8 cm Infotainment, 4 Speakers + 2 Tweeters, Remote Key, Dual-tone horn & Camera + Display.
- Style Pack includes R16 Stylized Wheel Cap, Contrast Black Roof, Body Color ORVM Skull Cap, Chrome Air vents & Front Fog Lamp with DRL.
For XM Variant ( Rhythm and Style Pack ) are offered in combination but you have the option of selecting either Rhythm or Style as single pack option as well.
- Luxe Pack (Only for XT Variant) includes R16 Stylized Wheel Cap, Body Color ORVM Skull Cap, Contrast Black Roof, Satin Chrome IDH Lever & Leather Wrapped Gear Knob and Steering Wheel.
- Urban Pack (Only for XZ variant) includes Contrast Black Roof, Body Color ORVM Skull Cap, Body Color Console G.S Bezel and Body Color Airvent Bezel.
Many buyers will opt for XZ and add Urban PacK to it. It remains to be seen whether the packs are part of accessory packages at dealership level or cars will come integrated from the manufacturing end, with the particular chosen pack by the car owner, before booking, as for example a leather strapped steering done at dealership level is different from the An OEM manufacturing plant leather steering.
11. While the variant distribution is always debatable same is the case here as well fellow Bhpians have already pointed it out, XZ & XZ (O) differ only in Black Contrast Roof, Note that Black contrast roof is only available for three colours (High street gold, Downtown Red and Avenue White)
12. For me, most baffling is Missing of Auto-dimming IVRM on a so-called Premium hatchback (I see this feature missing in most vehicles for no valid reasons)
13. The gold standard on Saftey (without offering 6 airbags and all Disc Brakes) isn't ideal or am I asking for a bit more.
14. Tata marketing team had sent fantastic invites to media houses along with with a ”scale model” here is good news you can reserve one for yourself at price of ₹ 3,999 only.
15. At the unveiling event, we didn't get any information on the ”Price” and other being the ”Mileage”.
16. It's pretty much evident that Tata motors have focused on features only rather than powertrains, to be fair to them, it takes a lot of R & D along with investment to launch an altogether new platform, without experiencing the vehicle in person would reserve the final opinion on it, as it will all depend on the ”Price” of the product along with its features which eventually forms a package, if priced well Altroz does have the potential it will not be easy competing against the likes of Swift, Baleno, i20, Jazz, Figo, Polo, i10 Nios. It will eventually come down to the price if Tata wants it to be a volume getter it needs to undercut its rivals.
