The lineup might include two petrol engines – the Tiago’s 85bhp, 1.2L, 3-cylinder naturally-aspirated and the Nexon’s 102bhp, 1.2L, 3-cylinder turbocharged unit.
The diesel version of the Altroz could be equipped with a 90bhp, 1.5L, 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, sourced from the Nexon. Transmission choices will include a 6-speed manual and a dual-clutch automatic unit. Read – Tata Altroz Vs Maruti Baleno
