The hatchback will come equipped with a dual-clutch automatic gearbox mated to a 1.2-litre petrol unit. That said, deliveries of the new Altroz automatic will commence from mid-March 2022 onwards.
Along with the announcement, the brand has also introduced a new Opera Blue exterior paint for the hatchback. The Altroz comes with a 1.2-litre, Revotron petrol motor across three trims, namely XT, XZ and, XZ+ and this new paint option will be available for all these trims.
