The hatchback segment is the biggest car segment in India after the SUV segment. Many companies like Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors, Toyota, and Hyundai offer premium hatchbacks in the Indian car market. Some of the popular hatchbacks are – the Hyundai i20, Maruti Baleno, Tata Altroz, and Toyota Glanza. Today we will talk about the Tata Altroz and Toyota Glanza and will discuss some of their features. The Tata Altroz and Toyota Glanza both are stylish and good premium hatchbacks but both have some advantages over each other. The Altroz has a stronger built quality, better exterior design, and good performance at high speeds While the Glanza has more features, a better-looking interior, and better city performance. In this article, we will tell you 7 features of Glanza that are missing in the Altroz.
Thorax and Curtain Airbags The Glanza’s top two variants include front-side thorax and curtain airbags, which you don’t get in any variant of Altroz. Altroz just has driver and co-passenger airbags. Before judging the Altroz’s safety, please note that the Altroz has a 5-star safety rating from Global NCAP and the Glanza is yet to be tested.
The top-tier Glanza models include a 360-degree parking camera which is missing in the Altroz. It provides a bird’s eye perspective of the car as well as views from all angles. It is interesting to know that the Glanza lacks front parking sensors, but it still detects any obstructions in the car’s path by using a technology that uses the camera feed and displays an alarm with a chime on the touchscreen infotainment system.
LED projector headlights and LED reflector fog lights are standard on the new Glanza. While the Altroz uses halogen-based projector headlights and halogen fog lights.
The new Glanza’s top variant includes a head-up display. When you start driving, the reflector-based head-up display rises up and illuminates important information such as vehicle speed, engine RPM, fuel efficiency, turn-by-turn navigation, and music playback.
The Glanza gets Hill-start to assist as standard on the automated variants. Hill-start assist function helps hold the car on an inclined road and allows you to easily move from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal. This is a desirable feature in automatic vehicles, but the Altroz lacks it. This feature is not available in any variant of the Altroz.
Auto-Dimming IRVM You get an auto-dimming IRVM in top variants of Glanza. Whereas even the top model of the Altroz didn’t get an auto-dimming IRVM. Auto-dimming IRVM doesn’t require you to make any manual adjustments, it automatically lessens glare at night and significantly improves your night-time driving experience.
The Altroz only has tilt adjustable steering, while the Toyota Glanza has tilt and telescopic adjustable steering. To find the ideal driving posture, telescopic steering is very useful, especially for shorter drivers.
