Also did you change your oil in the first service itself ?

Mine was some NOV 2020 during my Jan 21 update ALT04. April 21 update ALT05 shows DEC 2020 firmware update.

Tata I guess doesn't changes the oil in first free service(similar to my hyundai experience).They haven't changed it yet by the second free service I did few month ago(not sure though,i will have to check). Even with my TIGOR same thing happened, they changed it after 1 year only.

Hey guys, can anyone tell me the kerb weight of the Altroz top variant, both Diesel and Petrol (non turbo) as per their RC?

Are you seeing a discrepancy between RC and owner manual ?

Thank you, but I do know the kerb weights reported in Tata's manual. Why I asked for the kerb weight as per the RC is to see if there are any discrepancies. I don't know of any discrepancies as of yet; I don't own an Altroz.

Can members throw some light on the rattling/vibration sound that supposedly emanates from the engine bay while accelerating at certain rpms? Facebook groups are having quite a few articles on the same.
I personally have driven the turbo and noticed a distinct rattling sound from the left side of the engine bay while giving hard throttle in 3/4 gear, although that was a TD only. Getting serious second thoughts over the car after having booked the turbo petrol variant. I am gonna test drive it again soon and need to be sure this isn't such a deal breaker for me if it exists. Thanks

Hi, my Altroz XZ D weighs 1150 kg (unladen) and 1575 kg (laden) as per RC.

I own the 1.2 NA Altroz. Some people seem to hear them while others don't. I personally don't hear any rattle/vibration but i do hear a mild induction noise in fifth gear when gentle throttle is given at speeds below 2k rpm. I hear this only when the music system is turned off at night and others are asleep. It feels as if it comes from the left side of the dashboard. Other than this particular scenario, it's not heard at any time in my vehicle.

AL04 or AL05 corresponds to ECU versions and this detail can be seen only by service centers.

When you say Dec 2020 firmware update, I assume you are referring to the Harman infotainment version which we can check ourselves,

If you can follow the thread you will find that the question was asked in relation of firmware which is mentioned in infotainment system so I used the term.

And yes I know the ECU updates are only seen by providers but I mentioned the ECU updates just to relate it with the "infotainment update/firmware" dates. You kindly read that as Harman system info as seen in display.

Is there any news about an automatic transmission? This car always turns my head and i would love to get one for mother and wife but only if it had auto gearbox.

Found this on Youtube today while I was searching for Altroz vidoes. I don't remember Tata officially offering a dark edition Altroz or is this just a specific dealer modification?

Yes. The DCT gearbox is long overdue now. Some amount of delay expected due to the pandemic. Patience is running out.

This was expected. TML has trademarked these 'editions'.
Nexon as well as Altroz have arrived in Dark Edition.
We might not see a Camo edition on these, since the Nexon is already available in foilage green and the Altroz won't look as nice in that shade.

Forgive if it's dumb, but how does the passenger airbag get opened? The dashboard is plain solid and without any openings, wedges, or door for airbag. But in Global NCAP test, we can see a tiny door getting opened allowing airbag to come out and inflate. See the images.

The panels are structurally designed on the under-side such that when the explosive charge goes-off - they crack open at pre-aligned places.

Some cars have visible panels that break open. In some cars - the dashboard's certain areas break open. But not at random - the area where they crack open, are pre demarcated.

Those who did service recently, which were the latest update versions received for ECU and Harman infotainment system?
