Tata Motors rolled out the first unit of the Tata Altroz from its plant in Pune on 27th November 2019. With this, the company is all set for the launch of the highly anticipated, premium hatchback in January 2020.
The Tata Altroz is the second vehicle designed under the company’s Impact Design 2.0 philosophy and the first one to be developed on the new all-new Agile Light Flexible Advanced (ALFA) Architecture. The Altroz is the production version of the Tata 45X concept vehicle.
Tata Motors first showcased the 45X concept at the Auto Expo in February 2018, followed by a display at the Geneva International Motor Show (GIMS) in March 2018. The 45X concept stunned the audience with its futuristic design and stunning profile at both the shows. Bringing concept to reality, Tata Motors unveiled the Altroz to the world at GIMS in March 2019.
The company had also showcased the Tata Altroz EV Concept at GIMS 2019 along with the regular variant. The Tata Altroz EV Concept was equipped with a permanent magnet AC motor with single-speed gearbox. The company claims that it can charge from 0% to 80% in about 60 minutes and the electric vehicle has a range between 250 km to 300 km.
Tata Motors will first launch the Altroz with diesel and petrol motors in India by January 2020. The Altroz EV will follow thereafter.
Commenting on the roll-out, Mr. Mayank Pareek, President, Passenger Vehicle Business Unit (PVBU), Tata Motors said, “We are thrilled to roll-out yet another class defining product from the plant today. The Altroz is our first product that will be launched on the all-new ALFA platform and we believe that it will raise the bar for vehicles across the premium hatchback segment, come 2020. Since the unveiling of the concept in 2018, the anticipation for Altroz has always been high. We hope that customers will appreciate the new futuristic design with host of smart features, many of which are one segment above.”
