Tata Motors, after showcasing the sportier version of its premium hatchback, Altroz Racer, at the 2023 Auto Expo, seems to be gearing up for its launch in the coming months, according to the latest developments. Initially believed to have been shelved, the Altroz Racer made a surprise appearance as a heavily camouflaged test mule during emission testing, sparking speculation about its imminent release.
While the test mule is meticulously draped in camouflage, a distinctive feature that stands out is the aggressive roof spoiler, a potential indicator of the Altroz Racer variant. However, due to the extensive camouflage, it remains challenging to discern specific details. There is also a possibility that Tata Motors might be working on a facelift for the Altroz, contributing to the mystery surrounding the camouflaged test mule.
Tata Altroz Racer Key Features
Despite the concealment, keen-eyed observers have noticed a larger infotainment system and a camera mounted on the outside rearview mirrors (ORVMs), confirming the inclusion of a 360-degree parking camera. The test mule retains the regular alloy wheels seen on the current Altroz model, keeping a semblance of familiarity.
