| ![]() Is it only me who thinks this looks like Nexon without the height/stilts? |

On a side note, I really believe Tata should ditch this current legacy logo for their cars and design something new. | |

| ![]() The car looks pretty fantastic in the flesh, though the black strip at the back looks slightly overdone. Nevertheless a sharp design overall. I just wish the instrument console was cleanly designed, just like it is in the Tiago and Tigor. Also, it needs hotter petrol engines, assuming those will come around in the JTP version as and when that does launch. The current engine lineup is uninspiring and commuter grade at best. The Altroz looks way better than the boring Baleno and the i20 as well, its chief competitors in the segment. Last edited by arindambasu13 : 14th January 2020 at 11:55. |

Ergonomics and the driver seating position will be one of the more important things I will look for in a car the next time around. No matter how well built, feature loaded and dynamically sorted a car is, if it's near impossible to find the correct and a comfortable driving position they're of no use. Maybe that's why I find european designed cars more comfortable (like my ex-figo, 320d and a Yeti we owned). They're built with bigger people in mind too.

| ![]() Altroz is looking smashing and thanks TM for offering such a properly designed car to our market. Fit & finish and interior design seems to be fantastic. I wish the car buyers appreciate and consider such good products during their shopping. Other points:

Baleno's design definitely feels outdated when compared to Altroz, can't say the same about i20 though. | |

| ![]() The most radical design change in altroz in my opinion is the placement of horn button in steering wheel. This is a U turn from the conventional designs even though it has similarity to the horn button placement of older generation Maruti 800. I always wanted the horn button closer to the thumb so that I don't have to take my hands off the wheel. I would love to test drive the new altroz just to know the feel of the new horn button placement. |

| ![]() This car looks good (especially the diesel variant) from what I've seen in the videos and their website. The rear door handle design is unconventional. Also, two things stand out from the specifications on the website. 1) Ground clearance of 165 mm: It may scrape speed breakers under full load. 2) Turning radius of 5 m: Manoeuvrability is not very good for parking in tight spaces, reversing on narrow roads, etc. It does have a large wheelbase of 2501 mm though. |

Infractions: 0/1 (5) | ![]() With Swift/Baleno Diesel out of equation, Tata should be able to sell this in good numbers. Petrol however was less than adequate even on my Tigor! Hope they have given better gear ratios for the 1.2 petrol. |

| ![]() I think the car looks the best in white, for some reason. Previously used to think red was the best, but no. The design is a bit quirky, albeit mostly in a positive way and the white brings out only the best bits to the naked eye. Last edited by SaiSW : 14th January 2020 at 20:56. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Had to visit TASS to iron out a niggle in our Hexa. And the moment we entered there was a Gold Altroz standing in all its glory, freshly showered. If gimmicks and whatever Tata and TASS issues were kept aside, I really doubt anyone would give two hoots about the Altroz's competitors, as far as looks are concerned. Hell, I'll go ahead and say it if it pisses some people off, the Baleno and i20 look B-L-A-N-D in comparison. I reiterate, looks FAB in that Gold shade. I had to rush to meet the SA and by the time I was free, the Altroz had been sent to the dealership, so couldn't take picks ![]() |

| ![]() Saw Altroz today in person while taking delivery of our Nexon. It is Drop dead gorgeous! I don't think any car from this segment can match its looks, not even one of my favourites, i20! Build quality of Tata had already improved but interior quality was also awesome and same for fit and finish. Mom has already decided which car to buy as a replacement in a couple of years for her ageing Ritz ![]() Last edited by Chetan_Rao : 15th January 2020 at 00:22. Reason: Fixed typo. |

| ![]() The car looks so so awesome in white. It's so tempting to wait for Tata to launch the automatic, but I'm not sure how long they'll take. |

| ![]() Tata Altroz First Look in White Shade Must say, White really looks fantastic on this car. I have never been fan of white cars, but here it looks smashing. |
