Tata Motors is pretty active at the Auto Expo 2023, after the big showcases of the Sierra EV, Tata Curvv, Harrier EV, and Avinya concept, the company has now revealed a new version of two of its popular hatchbacks. New sportier versions of Altroz and Tiago EV are introduced by Tata Motors at Auto Expo 2023. The Altroz gets a new trim called Altroz Racer and the Tiago EV’s new version is known as Tiago EV Blitz. Both premium hatchbacks are updated in terms of performance and look. Read below for all the details of both hatchbacks.
The Tiago EV Blitz gets new cosmetic exterior changes, the bumpers of the hatchback are now sportier and new black finished alloy wheels are added which enhance the side profile of the car. Tiago EV Blitz also gets a roof-mounted black finished spoiler and revised side skirts. The most eye-catching new element the Tiago EV Blitz has is the flared wheels arched that are finished in a contrasting black finish. These give the car a sportier look and distinguish road presence.
The interior of the Tiago EV Blitz is unchanged, you get the same standard light-colored upholstery and the dashboard. The power output of the car is not yet revealed but Tata Motors has confirmed that the Tiago EV Blitz will be more powerful than its previous models, they also mentioned that it is loaded with “specialized higher-performance tech”.
The Altroz Racer gets some serious sports cosmetics. The showcased unit of Altroz Racer was in a classic red finish. The bonnet, pillar, and roof of the car were covered in a glossy black finish. The Altroz Racer gets a black-painted spoiler on top of the boot lid and racing stripes on the bonnet. The alloy wheels are also new and are enhancing the design of the side profile. Overall, the exterior of the Altroz Racer looks completely after-market and sporty.
The interior of the Altroz Racer too gets many sporty touches. The upholstery fabric is new with red and white stripes on the seats and red stitching all over. The headrests have ‘RACER’ stitching on them and the dashboard and center console get red highlights. The Altroz Racer has some new features like a sunroof, ventilated front seats, 6 airbags of safety, and for the first time in Tata cars a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system.
The Altroz Racer is more powerful than its other variants, it carries a more powerful 1.2-liter turbo-petrol engine which produces 118 bhp of power and 170 Nm of torque, this is 10 bhp and 30 Nm more than the Altroz turbo-petrol variant. Tata has not stated whether these sportier variants will go into production, but we can anticipate that the enhanced features from the Altroz will eventually make their way into the hatchback’s standard model.
