Both engines can be remapped. The limiting factor here is the 5 speed gearbox, which is pretty much operating at its torque limit. That’s the basic reason why power and torque figures are lower than Nexon for both engines. Nexon gets the 6 speed manual which has higher capacities. But then, torque limits never stopped people from remapping their Ventos and Rapids and Octavias!! |

| ![]() BHPians, My father-in-law is exploring. He wants to retire his 10 year old i10. Usage is very very low. 3k km per year. Exploring Altroz. He doesn't care for power and the factor "fun to drive" but wants an upgrade. Technically Altroz is the only option with Hyundai and Maruti ruled out. No Polo as well since we have one in the family. Hatchback is mandatory. Can I go with Normal Petrol? I am pushing him for Turbo petrol but he wants XM+ as he doesn't really care for power and wants to save 1.5l. Will test drive soon but I really wonder if Normal Petrol engine is so lame as mentioned by many. Last edited by abhatt : 11th September 2021 at 20:49. |

| ![]() Tata has reshuffled Altroz variants. XM and XE Rythm are off the shelf with XE+ replacing them. More details in source: https://www.cardekho.com/india-car-n...iant-28201.htm |

Though there are other value features, am interested to see if the manually adjusted ORVMs are really there. The base variant had the ORVMs where you had to put your hands out and adjust ![]() Heard that the manual A/C controls were wierldy more problematic than the electric controls in the higher variants. Maybe thats why the new variant has electric A/C controls. IMO, they should be offering the iTurbo as the standard engine, since there isn't much of FE difference, and the turbo is just an ordinary MPFi, not a GDI to ecalate costs or maintenance.

That said - even without being a GDI - the iTurbo will definitely be cost sensitive. The turbo chargers, intercoolers and other few parts specifically made to handle the higher power and torque outputs at peak - do not exactly come cheap I suspect. So the Turbo powered Altroz definitely will have a much higher starting price compared to the current NA. I'm guessing at least 70-80K More ex showroom, at base trim, without making additional profits. Last edited by Reinhard : 18th November 2021 at 11:50. | |

| ![]() I am about to book XZ iturbo in harbour blue colour and my dealer tells me that it would mandatorily come in black contrast roof- as in XZ(optional) for Altroz NA. Is that true? can we get the roof painted in the same colour as the body colour (blue, in this instance)? |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() To anyone who is looking at iturbo variants, I suggest you to test drive the diesel too. It's just about 20k more expensive than the iturbo. Even if you reside in metro cities, you can use the weekend to find a highway and floor the A pedal and have fun for a few km to keep DPF clogging away. ![]() The altroz diesel is a solid 4-5 kmpl more efficient than the iturbo on the highway and about 6-7kmpl more efficient in B2B traffic. |

BTW, OTR cost difference between iTurbo and diesel (at least for XZ) is nearly 60k here in Pune. (Still economical in the long run, I agree). | |
