Mechanically, Tata Altroz will be seen in both petrol and diesel avatars. The petrol unit will be a 1.2-litre 3-cylinder Revotron unit whereas the oil burner would be a 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder Revotorq engine. While the former is tuned to make a maximum power of 82bhp with 113Nm of peak torque, the latter churns out 90bhp and 200Nm of power figures. Both the units will be mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox as standard.
