Tata Altroz Racer to Launch in India on June 7, Bookings Open

Tata Motors is set to launch its upcoming Altroz Racer, the sportier version of the Altroz, on June 7 in India. The bookings for the Altroz Racer are now open. Compared to its standard counterpart, the new Tata Altroz Racer gets distinctive styling, a more powerful engine, as well as updated features and equipment. 

Styling-wise, the Tata Altroz Racer stands out with its dual-tone paint scheme with sporty decals and blacked-out elements, although the overall silhouette remains unchanged. Potential buyers can choose from three dual-tone exterior colour options –Atomic Orange, Avenue White, and Pure Grey, all three with a contrasting black finish on the roof and bonnet. Inside, the all-black finish on the dashboard is contrasted with orange highlights on the steering wheel, AC vents, seats, and gear console. The contrast continues with the orange-coloured ambient lighting.
