i personally feel tata should drop a diesel version of altroz racer with a tuned up revotorq engine and a 6 speed greabox from nexon because the 1.5 diesel engine in altroz is a very underrated engine which can outperform the i turbo+
Altroz is a real underrated car. We own the 1.2 NA variant but trust me if you are upgrading from an entry level car like the Alto the performance will be great. It's enough for the city. If it's driver driven then no problem at all. The driving dynamics and comfort are spot on. Mileage isn't bad at 12-14 in city and maximum of 24 on the highway. All you need for a family car. Just take a bite for the service centres they aren't as bad as many say about. Quick tip try finding a service center in a small city or town. They are less crowded and give more time to your car.

Shumi makes me regret my choice of buying a Tata car everytime I hear him talk about them. On top of it being an EV owner I am just bracing for the next words that Shumi has to say about them 😂.
Shumi reminds me of an average IT sector employee who is disgruntled with everything - unhappy with company, unhappy with project, unhappy with promotion, unhappy with salary, unhappy with hike, unhappy with canteen food, unhappy with that broken tap in restroom - some sort of an addiction to whine about everything and not leaving a chance to see the positives
Also with Karthikeya saying this should have been the Altroz GT, maybe Tata gets an idea, launch Altroz GT with minor cosmetic updates and launch another 42 variants. 😅
@@kshitijpandey6514 he only has mentioned in his 50's which could also mean 59. On a serious note, knowing Schumi, he wouldnt want anyone who is not actually racing for a living, racing at all. His (and everyone at TWO riding school) intentions of going to tracks most times is to help others become better riders, 1 rider at a time.
Shumi might not be a fan of TATA's strategy of having a million variants but it's clearly working for them. Having so many variants gives consumers the flexibility to pick and choose what they want in their car which no other manufacturers offer. When we're spending lakhs on a car I believe people don't mind taking their own time going through the feature list and comparing the variants to pick what suits them the best.
I like having other way around give me choice of features list i can add and pay for only those. Sell the car with all safety tech with just the essential and I'll decide which features i want
Tata is still missing lot of cars, No cars in A-segment. Does Nano's failure made Tata tram lethargic. Also why Tata isn't launching CUV on Tiago's platform. Just saw Suzuki's June 2024 sales 1.2 lakhs with 7 out 17 models in top 10. Tata might have only 1-3 models. Punch might be no 1 in sales. But sometimes success blind you(Tata) They need more cars instead of more variants
At this point, Tata should just stop naming it's car variants and just introduce a "Build your own car". Feature wise pricing, add whatever you want and get the final price. 🤷🏻♂️ I don't think even the sales guy can remember all these variants.
He expects us to increase our standard but we just sit back and disagree and worship what we have But he has experienced world class stuff in his riding career and he expects us to feel those emotions I guess Which is why he questions our taste cuz I am pretty sure manufacturers love to lobby instead of taking the competition head on That's why he was proud of what the new himalayan 450 which did try to be the best adv it possibly could which is why he liked it Hope more manufacturers take on the foreign competition than lobby against it🤞🤞🤞🤞
@@motorincEspecially Tata launch! And Ofc, he has to remember all the variants along with the pricing, some of which would not be revealed at launch :)

There should be an episode on indian brands as well, like you did on japanese brands on podcast. Like how well are they doing 2W, 4W, ev and all. And where Indian automobile industry stand at global level.
First comment here. We've had our iturbo for a couple of years now. Wife and I love it to bits. It's a joy to drive out on open and twisty roads. When this racer came out i was a bit relieved that the the mechanical upgrades were only slight. It killed the fomo I had since the racer was announced last year. I felt this review was slightly lacking - I'd have liked it if karthikeya touched upon the updated ice system, whether or not the ventilated seats do their job well, sunroof functionality - these are new to the altroz after all. Lacks a comprehensive interior review in general. Usually the 'first' series addresses these.
Polo not being a sporty car is a great perspective! I have a Taigun GT+ with 17s and have noticed that understeer thing in a few occasions of pushing it beyond the limit. Especially with the factory Goodyear Tyres which are bad. Now I have changed to Conti UC6s and it is much better to drive but I have not pushed it beyond 10/10ths yet. Also the fuel economy has dropped by 7-10%. The more I drive this car, the more I realise it is more of an awesome GT than a sporty car. So according to you, how has the chassis balance changed from Polo/Vento to Taigun/Virtus? In terms of understeery nature etc? Would love to know your thoughts! Also, what would be the best sporty car below a BMW 3 Series? Or let’s say under 50 lakhs? Just the driving dynamics without considering anything else? It seems to be a dying breed! Also it’d be interesting to know what are such options we used to have that are not present anymore! Maybe we can chat in the comments or would love to see a complete podcast on this topic!
4:16 completely agree. There are a lot of vocal Polo fans out there, but the Figo was the benchmark in terms of handling characteristics and fun to drive nature.
If you like Tata Altroz Racer and holding back due to the way it looks, just take it to a reputed detailing studio after delivery and get the bonnet wrapped in body colour shade. Not sure about Orange but the White and Grey wraps are easily available.
Great episode guys. One of the main things that I have faced as a prior Tata Nexon owner, the BS6 variant, is the fact that these cars are not reliable. I had that car for around two years and there was a coolant issue which led to the coolant getting mixed in with the engine oil and I ended up having to sell the car because of all the hassles at a much depreciated price than the actual value. For this issue, I blame the car itself and a lot more blame goes to the Tata service across the metro cities of Kolkata and Delhi for never servicing properly despite me sending the car time and again. This has just made me very very apprehensive towards newer Tata cars. The new Altroz Racer as far as I could tell from your episode is just another cosmetic upgrade whereas they need to work on their engines and reliability. All of this is just a distraction. P.S I now drive a 2018 GT TSI 1.2 and couldn’t be happier.
Indeed Glanza/Baleno are the best all rounder. K series engine that’s a love and buttery smooth. They are the king when it comes to 1.2 NA. i20 is best when we go for Turbo variants and worth all penny. Altroz is one which I want to love but it has niggles at engine end which is heart of any vehicle. It’s like Tank but having a rust at function level which spoils everything. Tata needs to overcome this at earliest and I will be the first one to book and say vocal for local ❤. Waiting…
Hey guys! Been waiting for an Altroz episode for a long time now as I purchased the previous iturbo last year. In the time I’ve spent with it, I found it’s a beautifully handling car, in fact surprisingly so I’ve you’ve ever driven the Punch or the Nexon. The NA engine felt absolutely gutless, the turbo allows for a little more enthusiastic driving but it only fills in for a deficiency in performance rather than adding a surge of power. I’m wondering how big the delta is between the performance of the iturbo and the iturbo+. Would it be worth it to explore an ECU retune to match that 10BHP gain or let it be as it is?
It's cz of kartikeya i cancelled my booking for xuv3xo, company called for pdi and i still feel shy about it but had to follow kartikey and booked glanza was not entirety convinced but now seems to be enjoying thanks kartikeya!!!
@@motorinc definitely will keep you posted, have driven 300km so far ! Was in mkt for AT c-suv car like sonet dct or xuv3xo at or creta lower trims but watched all podcast and videos picked up glanza was getting a better deal with toyota service!
Rather than working on launching new cars Tata should work on their engines and electronics for 1 year and they can take over the market. They are curving everything but not curving the engine manufacturing trajectory.
Its not good to question Tata's consistency. I mean they have been rolling out consistently safe & good cars, which are consistently lacking tight QC & niggle-y, and supported by consistently bad dealership experience!😂
You are absolutely bang on right on Mumbai-Pune highway cruising around 120 kmph you'll always feel a gitter no way it's disturbing or uncomfortable but yes you'll feel it, but again it's very comfortable
Either Tata's conversion system is faulty or they just boost the economy numbers. My Tiago xza-petrol shows economy of 16km/pl in the city and 21 km/pl out on the highway, but it actually delivers 11-12 km/pl in the city and 17-18km/pl on the highway.
Why doesn't the Abarth Punto ever come into conversations of used, cheap(ish) hatches to buy? Its always the Polo GT TSI. You don't even need to work a lot on the suspension unless you're looking for an autocross build, because it is a fair bit stiffer than the regular Puntos. The chassis was always great, and it comes with the T-Jet engine in its highest state of factory tune. The only drawback is the skinny tyres.
Great observations for how Indian brands can be successful and how important this is as we have all the logistics to export our made in india products. I think it will be hard for any brand to scale down the number of variants as this will have impact during servicing and reselling the car. Tata should hire Shumi as a product marketing consultant
A made to order with just the components you want would be a dream....and most people would willingly wait for some time before taking delivery. All extra features are basically plug and play/slot in components.....so it's really a mystery that companies do not offer a "make your own car" option on their web site. But then it's not just an issue with India.......afaik no one in the world gives the customer the option of "make your own car"....other than the super luxury segment.
@18.40 when shumi said stick your head out of sunroof, Just imagine & google and person driving a tank & looking out of the hatch, you will instantly imagine what it will look in car.🤣🤣
Currently I am an owner of Honda CB350rs & completed almost 26000kms & planning to upgrade something fresh & different! These 3 are on my wishlist Honda NX500 Suzuki vstrom 800DE Honda transalp 750 Will you guyz cover these bikes since it has been a long time these bikes launched in India🤷
As an owner of Altroz naturally exasperated petrol and having done 54k km till now, I can say that the strong points of the car are excellent handling, great ride quality on high ways, good brakes and good steering feedback. The biggest problems are the stupid clutch with the bite so high that it is akin to plucking dates from a palm tree and that notchy long throw gear lever. Engine although less powerful and unrefined, but its not that bad as it is made to look by this combination of gear lever and clutch. As long as u are driving a sedate pace or unhurriedly this is a nice and comfortable experience. The moment pace picks up it becomes difficult to time the clutch release properly and the notchy gearbox takes forever to shift, at times even refuses to shift and u can never maintain the revs leading to a very jerky ride. With the racer I expected them to work on the usable clutch bite range and the gearbox and from the looks of it, that has not been the case. 0-100 timings doesnt matter, I was looking for a car which is easier to drive when the pace picks up. Unless they work on the clutch and gearbox, there is nothing that excites me in this car. And the cherry on top is the Balaji ka tilak 😂.
Heya B! Spot on - the clutch still bites high up. But you don’t have to make as many gear changes in this. So, it didn’t feel as annoying. Thanks for your report on the car.
Who is gearbox supplier of Tata motors same jerky clutch operation with notchy gear changes is found in Tata Nexon which is quite disappointing while driving it in hills
@@freudiansnipad4301 that's for the online guys who have always panned Tata's engine. Believe me the ownership is smooth if you can overlook the idiosyncrasies. No major issue as such and definitely not unreliable as it is made to be in the online forums. Our altroz had small rattles on day 1 and they have remained the same in intensity in the last 4 years and 54k km later. However our Swift Vxi petrol was smooth as butter when new but now after 80k and 6 yrs later, I don't even need a horn. The whole car rattles. The suspension as well as the body panel rattles so much that it is difficult to pinpoint the source of the rattle and roof has a dent because an uncle in a family function thought it wise to lean on our car roof when he was dishing out his opinion about the function😢
Exactly... Very well said about the sport variant from any brand... The best way is done by Hyundai because the normal i20,Creta and i20 N-line and Creta N-line feel like different cars and drive like what it was meant to be the Hot hatchback...
On quality, when I was looking to buy my first motorcycle in 2007, I was thinking between Pulsar/Discover v/s Unicorn/Achiever/CBZ Extreme. I got some very sane advice from a senior who told me - Go for a HeroHonda/Honda, because on day-1 Bajaj will ride as well or better than HH/Honda, but after 3 years of use, HH/Honda expereience will be 85% of day-1 while Bajaj will be 60% because of niggles. Same thing with Tata/Mahindra v/s Suzuki/Hyundai
Bajaj has come a long way in last 15 years and proved their ability to develop good vehicles, but in 2007-08 they were still going through the transition
Hi @shreeharimenon5275, we believe currently it's just a showcase. If Xiaomi decides to launch it in India, we'll share our thoughts once we get to drive it.
I too think this is a marketing team's car not an engineer's car. They did their survey, benchmarked it against competition for "value for money" and created a value for money product to drive sales rather than have a halo product in the lineup. When they launched the JTP, Tata didn't have the numbers they are doing right now and it was a much bigger gamble. But now that they are doing better financially, they seem to have become more risk averse. Reminds me of the scenario from the movie Dark Knight Rises, the only person who is able to actually jump out of the "well dungeon" is the one who does it without the safety net. Safety net makes you hold back a bit. On a different note, the Tata inconsistency seems to be more of the other functions of the company not being able to catch up. While their R&D team is doing a good job, their procurement, production and QC don't seem to have caught up with the kind of products the R&D has envisoned. Plus, the aftersales doesn't seem to have progressed much from the time they were servicing Indicas. Calling this out from the recent experience of buying a Tata Punch in the family.
Hey @akseffect88! Thanks for sharing your take. We agree that Tata has a lot that they need to improve on. Here's hoping that they do before it's too late.
The rainforest challenge comment does make one think. If not for the SUV craze in the market, Tata could have done such a great crossover. This is such a Subaru thing.
I am one of those who own the Alteoz i-Turbo. The sole reason to purchase was that Polo was getting discontinued and i20 N-Line only had an automatic transmission and JTPs were already gone. Worst thing about my car I feel is the gearbox which I hope has improved with the 6-speed as the 5 speed is bad. Still love my car though and for me it’s best in the world. Thanks MotorInc
You forgot about blind view monitoring . This is the cheapest car with ventilated seat and blind view monitoring system. Also 120 ps at 12 lakhs and 11sec 0-100 is almost as good as slavia or virtus 1 .0 at their base price with good mileage. If this has tall seating even being a hatch back what would you comment on germans tall seating. I am not tata fan boy.
The i20 N line has the same 120ps from a much more refined engine and a very nice shifting manual gearbox for the same price. I’m not sure why anyone would pick the Altroz racer over that thing. Also the N line has a sub 10 second 0-100
One of the more entertaining first impressions I have seen! 23:05, 29:10 and 46:10 - ROTFL!!! I swear...Schumi you... Couple of things probably that I was waiting on...differences between the racer variants and whether you have a preference or whether they even needed them! The lack of rear discs...? And despite all the worries and references to baleno and nline...one crucial aspect that Tata nails but both Hyundai and Maruti fail on is the safety rating. You seem to sideswipe that aspect of the car fairly easily without realizing how critical that aspect is and the fact that most, if not all, Tata (and Mahindra too) vehicles score a high safety rating should be a positive aspect to highlight. That in itself should be a comforting point.
tata should have put their new 1.2 tgdi motor in altroz racer.This is an oldskool engine. competition offers much much better engine than altroz using new tech etc.
Shumi asking the question at the begining is it new and karthik's expression was really every tata owners reaction. And i love it when these 2 talk. People see the humor and without knowing listeners are taught on every podacst. They are the teachers we need.😂
Rating this a five star😊. I just love the way schumi describes his points and shows his disappointment. Some may think of it as being over-critical but we need more people like him in the automotive journalism where there is an absolute lack of criticism for any car. We need more Schumis - seriously. Kartikey just complements the show as that base key board player in a band whose work is core to the band but it’s not over the top like the lead singer or say the - guitarist 😊 Kudos to both of you.
I purchased the tata tiago last year, it doesnt get driven a lot (8000km till now) major problem i am facing car gives mileage of 12-13kmpl the tata service people say nothing is wrong with the car (I am yet to take it out to a 3rd party mechanic) and there are two small problems in the software sometimes when i start the car the sound system starts and works but the screen doesnt it gets resolved by a restart and once the reverse sensors stopped working with a warning on screen saying take it to the service center which again got resolved by a restart. Finally another small issue the air pump they give us with it complimentary it stopped working after the first use. I believe all of these issues are small issues but they do add up to an inconvenient experience except for the mileage because oh my god i am a student and that car drinks petrol like a college student drinks OMR.
About the suspension: I own i-Turbo for the past two and a half years and I do not understand the need to tune it further. Cause, the suspension is clearly mature and very stable at good speeds. I have no experience with i20 (n-line or regular), all the talks about the suspension tunes for the n-line and how it gives better stability than the non n-line, clearly states that i20 regualr is not fairly stable at good speeds. But, cutrent Altroz lineup is very stable. Maybe Altroz, didnt need a suspension tune or chage. Even if they did, it would make very samll difference with the existing Altroz lineup. What your thoughts on this?
@@AmP_BYD i own the regular i20 and have test driven the nline many times and altroz, the normal i20 has a softer suspension compared to the nline, the dampers are stiffer on nline. This doesnt mean the normal i20 is unstable, its just more comfortable and has more body roll. While the nline handled superb at speeds through corners, the car stays more flat and doesn’t nose dive under breaking, doesn’t understeer like the polo does and rear is stable unlike the altroz. Ive lowered my normal i20 on cobra and it’s drastically improved the handle. Its on par with the stock nline now but nline with cobra suspension is just better, the stiffer damper help a lot. Yes its a lot uncomfortable but for a driving enthusiasts it doesnt matter. The nline is better than any other hatchback sold under 15laks in india.
It gives me some solace to see that in this sea of SUVs there is still hope for a good hatchback. Maybe one day we will get our own proper hot-hatch! Not just yet
Did they fix the offset steering wheel? And how do buyers miss out on this? When Altroz was launched, I remember going to the showroom and sitting in the demo car and the first thing I noticed was the steering is offset. Same thing with Nexon.
@@motorinc when I saw the Nexon facelift episode where Karthik mentioned the steering in Nexon and Altroz is offset, I was ecstatic because none of my friends believed it! MotorInc is the only channel that has mentioned this on record
If the put Shumi's statistics on this short, they are both on opposite side, Shumi is sitting on the right side Kartik be like : Wha ya tryinaa say, what ya trynaa say brothaa Sumi : What I'm asking is ' didn't you joined the revolt'?
I think the rear seat experience in the Figo was simply unacceptable. I've had the pleasure of renting it quite a few times for trips, and everytime I got to the backseat, it felt like those were there just because they needed to be there. No bottle holders, vents, space. Definitely wasn't the all rounder that the Indian market values.
@@anishkancharla9675the cruze had good reason to not be successful. It looked and went better than most, but the quality and reliability definitely played a part in its demise. And the Linea failing makes less sense, until you look inside it. It was spartan at best, and the Verna and City were far better in terms of creature comforts, and that feel good factor.
Listening to this I really feel bad that most of hatchbacks are phasing out or have poor sales. I am big fan of hot hatches. I badly miss the chance to own & drive Polo GTs(Both TSI & TDI), Figos. I got a used 90HP Punto and what a car that is. I have to for almoat 4 years now and thoroughly enjoy it. One more point I would highlight is slow phasing out of diesel cars. Turbo petrol may be as efficient or even more, but ample low down torque of diesel is unbeatable.
Totally agreed, one of my frnd has previous petrol variant, performance is not great, in highways, it struggles to overtake. Also tata cars, i felt breaking performance is also not good.....my insight is from driving harrier, punch and altroz.
We had a TV for 15 years. There's this fan at home almost as old as I am (late thirties). I have been using my nail clippers for almost 17 years. Smaller things aside, there I believe was a pride in owning things and one of the major reasons was knowing that it will last. Nothing's made to last nowadays. There's a saying in my line of work, " A patient cured is a customer lost." The same applies everywhere I guess. You are pushed into this race of getting the most updated things and fear of not getting the same. Cars we talk about today will be obsolete in just 5 years, maybe less. We learn less, apply even less. We as a species, stopped creating history.
@@motorinc definitely things that last and work too at the same time. We have newer generation cars at home with major mechanical issues. I wish we could just get a good car, appreciate it, take pride in knowing what it actually is rather than just thinking," Oh yeah, I can buy expensive things now". Love it a little longer than rushing towards a facelift or an upgrade. Watch it grow with you and your family, learn to take care of it like a bonsai. I think the car market nowadays caters more towards someone who would buy an expensive car just because his/her neighbour got one. I want a product that I can rely on and hold on to and give it love and care when it needs. I hope parts are made available for the oldest of cars and provisions to upgrade them with newer things when time comes. It's like wearing my grandfather's watch and check the time too. ✌️
On the contrary, Narain Kartikeyan has the opposite view on the Tata altroz racer, he seems excited with engine, handling and specially direct steering controls, which he tested om race track. 2nd best is I10 N line. Can you also check it performance on the race track too.😊
Is it only me or did anyone else see the driver side strip is not in middle but closer to the other strip especially in that orange colour. But still nice content 👍
4:20 N Line representation! Good point about them focusing more on the chassis and handling, which is very apparent when you drive one. Also, huge props to Hyundai for keeping the enthusiast car segment alive for the common folk!
For those stuck in the dark ages of video playback: - Fire up that ancient Safari browser. - Minimize it. - Swipe down the notification panel and hit play. Introducing the “TH-cam Racer” - the temporary fix until we find something better. 😉
I knew something was off when I saw the poster with that face of @kartiksinghee sir. Now the video confirms it. Any idea about when the Altroz "Racer" would be getting the DCA transmission?
10/10 for Shumi's summary! Altroz Racer seems a very strangely half-assed attempt at catering to performance oriented buyers. It is very clear that Tata's main goal was aesthetics and spec-sheet stuff with this car which is nothing short of disappointing.
I have a good amount of shares in Tata Motors for the long term. After hearing many stories about poor after-sales service and that the cars are not as good as those from other manufacturers, I am getting worried about my investment.

If it's driver driven then no problem at all. The driving dynamics and comfort are spot on. Mileage isn't bad at 12-14 in city and maximum of 24 on the highway. All you need for a family car.

Shumi might not be a fan of TATA's strategy of having a million variants but it's clearly working for them. Having so many variants gives consumers the flexibility to pick and choose what they want in their car which no other manufacturers offer. When we're spending lakhs on a car I believe people don't mind taking their own time going through the feature list and comparing the variants to pick what suits them the best.
Hey VB, good to have your take. Choice is good. Too much choice is crippling. 🤷♂️
I like having other way around give me choice of features list i can add and pay for only those. Sell the car with all safety tech with just the essential and I'll decide which features i want
@@motorincespecially for dealers itself..
Tata is still missing lot of cars, No cars in A-segment. Does Nano's failure made Tata tram lethargic. Also why Tata isn't launching CUV on Tiago's platform. Just saw Suzuki's June 2024 sales 1.2 lakhs with 7 out 17 models in top 10. Tata might have only 1-3 models. Punch might be no 1 in sales. But sometimes success blind you(Tata) They need more cars instead of more variants
This video should be published on ...tv so everybody can watch it and they couldn't know the truth about highly overrated altroz#racer
At this point, Tata should just stop naming it's car variants and just introduce a "Build your own car". Feature wise pricing, add whatever you want and get the final price. 🤷🏻♂️ I don't think even the sales guy can remember all these variants.
Sumi woke up and chose violence 😂 roasted both Indian car buyers and companies 😅
He expects us to increase our standard but we just sit back and disagree and worship what we have
But he has experienced world class stuff in his riding career and he expects us to feel those emotions I guess
Which is why he questions our taste cuz I am pretty sure manufacturers love to lobby instead of taking the competition head on
That's why he was proud of what the new himalayan 450 which did try to be the best adv it possibly could which is why he liked it
Hope more manufacturers take on the foreign competition than lobby against it🤞🤞🤞🤞
Absolutely!

So many people are totally unaware of Altroz Diesel which has 90 bhp and 200 nm torque and boy oh boy it's a beast with it's perfect steering feedback and suspension setup and that lovely chassis it's so so good and I'm a proud owner of an August 2020 Tata Altroz Diesel ❤
Glad to hear that @daninwheels1006. Thanks for sharing!
There should be an episode on indian brands as well, like you did on japanese brands on podcast. Like how well are they doing 2W, 4W, ev and all. And where Indian automobile industry stand at global level.
First comment here. We've had our iturbo for a couple of years now. Wife and I love it to bits. It's a joy to drive out on open and twisty roads. When this racer came out i was a bit relieved that the the mechanical upgrades were only slight. It killed the fomo I had since the racer was announced last year.
I felt this review was slightly lacking - I'd have liked it if karthikeya touched upon the updated ice system, whether or not the ventilated seats do their job well, sunroof functionality - these are new to the altroz after all. Lacks a comprehensive interior review in general. Usually the 'first' series addresses these.
Thank you for the feedback @Rururay. We'll hopefully get to test it for longer and if we do, we'll address the common questions there too.
This engine should have been the one when the car was launched, given the beautiful platform it is built on.
So true RS!
I like the oversized tees that @Kartikeya wears in many of these podcasts.. Where can I get those ?
@@tanush7789 looks really comfortable, even I want to know
Polo not being a sporty car is a great perspective! I have a Taigun GT+ with 17s and have noticed that understeer thing in a few occasions of pushing it beyond the limit. Especially with the factory Goodyear Tyres which are bad. Now I have changed to Conti UC6s and it is much better to drive but I have not pushed it beyond 10/10ths yet. Also the fuel economy has dropped by 7-10%. The more I drive this car, the more I realise it is more of an awesome GT than a sporty car. So according to you, how has the chassis balance changed from Polo/Vento to Taigun/Virtus? In terms of understeery nature etc? Would love to know your thoughts!
Also, what would be the best sporty car below a BMW 3 Series? Or let’s say under 50 lakhs? Just the driving dynamics without considering anything else? It seems to be a dying breed! Also it’d be interesting to know what are such options we used to have that are not present anymore! Maybe we can chat in the comments or would love to see a complete podcast on this topic!
4:16 completely agree. There are a lot of vocal Polo fans out there, but the Figo was the benchmark in terms of handling characteristics and fun to drive nature.
❤️
You guys seem to really enjoy the Baleno. Can you please discuss that car in detail too? Perhaps covering the older generations too
My Grande Punto still sets the bar high in driving dynamics and very engaging irrespective of road conditions.
If you like Tata Altroz Racer and holding back due to the way it looks, just take it to a reputed detailing studio after delivery and get the bonnet wrapped in body colour shade. Not sure about Orange but the White and Grey wraps are easily available.
😆👍🏽👍🏽
Great episode guys. One of the main things that I have faced as a prior Tata Nexon owner, the BS6 variant, is the fact that these cars are not reliable. I had that car for around two years and there was a coolant issue which led to the coolant getting mixed in with the engine oil and I ended up having to sell the car because of all the hassles at a much depreciated price than the actual value. For this issue, I blame the car itself and a lot more blame goes to the Tata service across the metro cities of Kolkata and Delhi for never servicing properly despite me sending the car time and again. This has just made me very very apprehensive towards newer Tata cars. The new Altroz Racer as far as I could tell from your episode is just another cosmetic upgrade whereas they need to work on their engines and reliability. All of this is just a distraction.
P.S I now drive a 2018 GT TSI 1.2 and couldn’t be happier.
Happy GT TSI-ing! ❤️
Another MotorInc video morning! Good Morning 🏍️
Morning Sreejat!
Indeed Glanza/Baleno are the best all rounder. K series engine that’s a love and buttery smooth. They are the king when it comes to 1.2 NA.
i20 is best when we go for Turbo variants and worth all penny.
Altroz is one which I want to love but it has niggles at engine end which is heart of any vehicle. It’s like Tank but having a rust at function level which spoils everything.
Tata needs to overcome this at earliest and I will be the first one to book and say vocal for local ❤.
Waiting…
Hey guys! Been waiting for an Altroz episode for a long time now as I purchased the previous iturbo last year.
In the time I’ve spent with it, I found it’s a beautifully handling car, in fact surprisingly so I’ve you’ve ever driven the Punch or the Nexon. The NA engine felt absolutely gutless, the turbo allows for a little more enthusiastic driving but it only fills in for a deficiency in performance rather than adding a surge of power.
I’m wondering how big the delta is between the performance of the iturbo and the iturbo+. Would it be worth it to explore an ECU retune to match that 10BHP gain or let it be as it is?
Not enough for your to FOMO! Enjoy your Altroz MD!
It's cz of kartikeya i cancelled my booking for xuv3xo, company called for pdi and i still feel shy about it but had to follow kartikey and booked glanza was not entirety convinced but now seems to be enjoying thanks kartikeya!!!
Hey SH! How’s it going? Please could you keep us posted. Glad to hear about your decision. 🙏🏾
@@motorinc definitely will keep you posted, have driven 300km so far ! Was in mkt for AT c-suv car like sonet dct or xuv3xo at or creta lower trims but watched all podcast and videos picked up glanza was getting a better deal with toyota service!
Rather than working on launching new cars Tata should work on their engines and electronics for 1 year and they can take over the market. They are curving everything but not curving the engine manufacturing trajectory.
Its not good to question Tata's consistency. I mean they have been rolling out consistently safe & good cars, which are consistently lacking tight QC & niggle-y, and supported by consistently bad dealership experience!😂
You almost had us there @museycal!😅
If those Tata stans could read they'd be very upset
You are absolutely bang on right on Mumbai-Pune highway cruising around 120 kmph you'll always feel a gitter no way it's disturbing or uncomfortable but yes you'll feel it, but again it's very comfortable
Either Tata's conversion system is faulty or they just boost the economy numbers. My Tiago xza-petrol shows economy of 16km/pl in the city and 21 km/pl out on the highway, but it actually delivers 11-12 km/pl in the city and 17-18km/pl on the highway.
Why doesn't the Abarth Punto ever come into conversations of used, cheap(ish) hatches to buy? Its always the Polo GT TSI. You don't even need to work a lot on the suspension unless you're looking for an autocross build, because it is a fair bit stiffer than the regular Puntos. The chassis was always great, and it comes with the T-Jet engine in its highest state of factory tune. The only drawback is the skinny tyres.
100
Same issue as the Polo. Average chassis, average suspension but decent drivetrain.
The issue with it was the weight. And it was still a bit tall. These affected handling and performance. It could have been so much more.
Still room
for improvement in R&D sector of Tata, to feel it's presence in Indian road in coming days
Definitely!
Great observations for how Indian brands can be successful and how important this is as we have all the logistics to export our made in india products. I think it will be hard for any brand to scale down the number of variants as this will have impact during servicing and reselling the car. Tata should hire Shumi as a product marketing consultant
All they have to do is ask. We just want better machines.
Why cant manufacturers sells cars with the basic requirements and the features as a option list, where we can choose what we want?
That’s a must now.
A made to order with just the components you want would be a dream....and most people would willingly wait for some time before taking delivery.
All extra features are basically plug and play/slot in components.....so it's really a mystery that companies do not offer a "make your own car" option on their web site.
But then it's not just an issue with India.......afaik no one in the world gives the customer the option of "make your own car"....other than the super luxury segment.
@18.40 when shumi said stick your head out of sunroof, Just imagine & google and person driving a tank & looking out of the hatch, you will instantly imagine what it will look in car.🤣🤣

As an owner of Altroz naturally exasperated petrol and having done 54k km till now, I can say that the strong points of the car are excellent handling, great ride quality on high ways, good brakes and good steering feedback. The biggest problems are the stupid clutch with the bite so high that it is akin to plucking dates from a palm tree and that notchy long throw gear lever. Engine although less powerful and unrefined, but its not that bad as it is made to look by this combination of gear lever and clutch. As long as u are driving a sedate pace or unhurriedly this is a nice and comfortable experience. The moment pace picks up it becomes difficult to time the clutch release properly and the notchy gearbox takes forever to shift, at times even refuses to shift and u can never maintain the revs leading to a very jerky ride. With the racer I expected them to work on the usable clutch bite range and the gearbox and from the looks of it, that has not been the case. 0-100 timings doesnt matter, I was looking for a car which is easier to drive when the pace picks up. Unless they work on the clutch and gearbox, there is nothing that excites me in this car. And the cherry on top is the Balaji ka tilak 😂.
Heya B! Spot on - the clutch still bites high up. But you don’t have to make as many gear changes in this. So, it didn’t feel as annoying. Thanks for your report on the car.
I know it was a typo, but 'naturally exasperated' might just describe the Tata buyers' state of mind after they get their vehicle :P
@@freudiansnipad4301 😀
Who is gearbox supplier of Tata motors same jerky clutch operation with notchy gear changes is found in Tata Nexon which is quite disappointing while driving it in hills
@@freudiansnipad4301 that's for the online guys who have always panned Tata's engine. Believe me the ownership is smooth if you can overlook the idiosyncrasies. No major issue as such and definitely not unreliable as it is made to be in the online forums. Our altroz had small rattles on day 1 and they have remained the same in intensity in the last 4 years and 54k km later. However our Swift Vxi petrol was smooth as butter when new but now after 80k and 6 yrs later, I don't even need a horn. The whole car rattles. The suspension as well as the body panel rattles so much that it is difficult to pinpoint the source of the rattle and roof has a dent because an uncle in a family function thought it wise to lean on our car roof when he was dishing out his opinion about the function😢
Exactly... Very well said about the sport variant from any brand...
The best way is done by Hyundai because the normal i20,Creta and i20 N-line and Creta N-line feel like different cars and drive like what it was meant to be the Hot hatchback...
Yep! It’s legit sportier.
Congratulations Tata, you killed another hatchback.
I love how unapologetically honest these videos are
On quality, when I was looking to buy my first motorcycle in 2007, I was thinking between Pulsar/Discover v/s Unicorn/Achiever/CBZ Extreme. I got some very sane advice from a senior who told me - Go for a HeroHonda/Honda, because on day-1 Bajaj will ride as well or better than HH/Honda, but after 3 years of use, HH/Honda expereience will be 85% of day-1 while Bajaj will be 60% because of niggles. Same thing with Tata/Mahindra v/s Suzuki/Hyundai
Sorry are Tata/Mahindra supposed to Honda or Bajaj in this parallel @saligramvishwanath1?

Altroz Racer or fronx turbo which is a better balanced purchase , I would think fronx turbo as racer isn't racer enough.
The IAF prefers Mirage and Rafale over apna LCA, and the Indian Army is finally getting the Kalashnikov AK 62 it's been demanding. How unpatriotic!!!
Hahaha
I too think this is a marketing team's car not an engineer's car. They did their survey, benchmarked it against competition for "value for money" and created a value for money product to drive sales rather than have a halo product in the lineup.
When they launched the JTP, Tata didn't have the numbers they are doing right now and it was a much bigger gamble. But now that they are doing better financially, they seem to have become more risk averse.
Reminds me of the scenario from the movie Dark Knight Rises, the only person who is able to actually jump out of the "well dungeon" is the one who does it without the safety net. Safety net makes you hold back a bit.
On a different note, the Tata inconsistency seems to be more of the other functions of the company not being able to catch up. While their R&D team is doing a good job, their procurement, production and QC don't seem to have caught up with the kind of products the R&D has envisoned. Plus, the aftersales doesn't seem to have progressed much from the time they were servicing Indicas. Calling this out from the recent experience of buying a Tata Punch in the family.
Hey @akseffect88! Thanks for sharing your take. We agree that Tata has a lot that they need to improve on. Here's hoping that they do before it's too late.

I am one of those who own the Alteoz i-Turbo. The sole reason to purchase was that Polo was getting discontinued and i20 N-Line only had an automatic transmission and JTPs were already gone. Worst thing about my car I feel is the gearbox which I hope has improved with the 6-speed as the 5 speed is bad. Still love my car though and for me it’s best in the world. Thanks MotorInc
India needs a sportscar that is relatively affordable that can lead to fun driving more on Indian roads , something like the Duke 390 but for cars
So true!
You forgot about blind view monitoring . This is the cheapest car with ventilated seat and blind view monitoring system. Also 120 ps at 12 lakhs and 11sec 0-100 is almost as good as slavia or virtus 1 .0 at their base price with good mileage. If this has tall seating even being a hatch back what would you comment on germans tall seating. I am not tata fan boy.
Thanks for pointing it out! Appreciate it EB!
The i20 N line has the same 120ps from a much more refined engine and a very nice shifting manual gearbox for the same price. I’m not sure why anyone would pick the Altroz racer over that thing. Also the N line has a sub 10 second 0-100
@@srikarvundavalli5934 weight difference is the issue. Altroz will has scored 5 star and i20 i guess isn't even 3 star
One of the more entertaining first impressions I have seen! 23:05, 29:10 and 46:10 - ROTFL!!! I swear...Schumi you...
Couple of things probably that I was waiting on...differences between the racer variants and whether you have a preference or whether they even needed them! The lack of rear discs...? And despite all the worries and references to baleno and nline...one crucial aspect that Tata nails but both Hyundai and Maruti fail on is the safety rating. You seem to sideswipe that aspect of the car fairly easily without realizing how critical that aspect is and the fact that most, if not all, Tata (and Mahindra too) vehicles score a high safety rating should be a positive aspect to highlight. That in itself should be a comforting point.
IMHO, Tata makes great looking cars/SUVs. It's a shame, the driving dynamics don't go hand in hand with the packaging.
Heya Rupin, do you have one?

I purchased the tata tiago last year, it doesnt get driven a lot (8000km till now) major problem i am facing car gives mileage of 12-13kmpl the tata service people say nothing is wrong with the car (I am yet to take it out to a 3rd party mechanic) and there are two small problems in the software sometimes when i start the car the sound system starts and works but the screen doesnt it gets resolved by a restart and once the reverse sensors stopped working with a warning on screen saying take it to the service center which again got resolved by a restart. Finally another small issue the air pump they give us with it complimentary it stopped working after the first use. I believe all of these issues are small issues but they do add up to an inconvenient experience except for the mileage because oh my god i am a student and that car drinks petrol like a college student drinks OMR.
About the suspension:
I own i-Turbo for the past two and a half years and I do not understand the need to tune it further. Cause, the suspension is clearly mature and very stable at good speeds.
I have no experience with i20 (n-line or regular), all the talks about the suspension tunes for the n-line and how it gives better stability than the non n-line, clearly states that i20 regualr is not fairly stable at good speeds.
But, cutrent Altroz lineup is very stable. Maybe Altroz, didnt need a suspension tune or chage. Even if they did, it would make very samll difference with the existing Altroz lineup.
What your thoughts on this?
@@AmP_BYD i own the regular i20 and have test driven the nline many times and altroz, the normal i20 has a softer suspension compared to the nline, the dampers are stiffer on nline. This doesnt mean the normal i20 is unstable, its just more comfortable and has more body roll. While the nline handled superb at speeds through corners, the car stays more flat and doesn’t nose dive under breaking, doesn’t understeer like the polo does and rear is stable unlike the altroz. Ive lowered my normal i20 on cobra and it’s drastically improved the handle. Its on par with the stock nline now but nline with cobra suspension is just better, the stiffer damper help a lot. Yes its a lot uncomfortable but for a driving enthusiasts it doesnt matter. The nline is better than any other hatchback sold under 15laks in india.
It would be fun to have both together to see what happens.
It gives me some solace to see that in this sea of SUVs there is still hope for a good hatchback. Maybe one day we will get our own proper hot-hatch! Not just yet
🤞🏾
That, Polo and Mint joke, Shumi 😂👌🏻
Damn this was unexpected. I was holding by decision to book Racer for this episode and I am glad I did.
Did they fix the offset steering wheel? And how do buyers miss out on this?
When Altroz was launched, I remember going to the showroom and sitting in the demo car and the first thing I noticed was the steering is offset. Same thing with Nexon.
They can’t change those elements once the car is in production. That has to be fixed at the drawing board level. 😑

I think the rear seat experience in the Figo was simply unacceptable.

No bottle holders, vents, space. Definitely wasn't the all rounder that the Indian market values.
@@anishkancharla9675the cruze had good reason to not be successful. It looked and went better than most, but the quality and reliability definitely played a part in its demise.
And the Linea failing makes less sense, until you look inside it. It was spartan at best, and the Verna and City were far better in terms of creature comforts, and that feel good factor.
@@anishkancharla9675Cruze was a terrible car
Listening to this I really feel bad that most of hatchbacks are phasing out or have poor sales.
I am big fan of hot hatches. I badly miss the chance to own & drive Polo GTs(Both TSI & TDI), Figos. I got a used 90HP Punto and what a car that is. I have to for almoat 4 years now and thoroughly enjoy it.
One more point I would highlight is slow phasing out of diesel cars. Turbo petrol may be as efficient or even more, but ample low down torque of diesel is unbeatable.

We had a TV for 15 years. There's this fan at home almost as old as I am (late thirties). I have been using my nail clippers for almost 17 years. Smaller things aside, there I believe was a pride in owning things and one of the major reasons was knowing that it will last. Nothing's made to last nowadays. There's a saying in my line of work, " A patient cured is a customer lost." The same applies everywhere I guess. You are pushed into this race of getting the most updated things and fear of not getting the same. Cars we talk about today will be obsolete in just 5 years, maybe less. We learn less, apply even less. We as a species, stopped creating history.

Love it a little longer than rushing towards a facelift or an upgrade. Watch it grow with you and your family, learn to take care of it like a bonsai.

More motors, more weight, more batteries, more cost.
I have a good amount of shares in Tata Motors for the long term. After hearing many stories about poor after-sales service and that the cars are not as good as those from other manufacturers, I am getting worried about my investment.
I'm not much into cars and I don't plan on getting one either but I just love listening to you guys!!!! (shumi sir's jokes specifically😂)
Thanks for joining us @sufiyansheikh131!😄
The Racer without the stripes and contrast colours should be called Sleeper
It would be better for sure.
