The Altroz comes with three engine options: 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol (86PS/113Nm), 1.2-litre turbo-petrol (110PS/140Nm), and 1.5-litre diesel (90PS/200Nm). All three come with a 5-speed manual as standard, with an optional DCT (dual-clutch automatic) expected to be introduced soon. Stay tuned.

The diesel engine, in comparison, is more versatile. The refinement is still not upto the mark of the segment but it does offer a good city drive. There is ample torque at lower revs band and hence making overtakes or hitting gaps can be done easily with minimal throttle inputs. The turbo surge is also kept under control and gives just the right push for some quick overtakes. But as you start to push, the engine starts to feel more gruff. The power delivery beyond 3000rpm is not linear, and comes and goes in spikes. Gear shifts here are better than the petrol but still lack positive clicks. Overall, despite its limitations, this is the engine to pick if you are looking for more versatility. For a better understanding of compatibility and driving comfort, we would suggest you to take a test drive. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership.
