In order to challenge the Hyundai i20 N-Line, Tata Motors is gearing up to launch the all-new Altroz Racer hatchback. This new, sportier iteration of the outgoing Altroz was showcased at the Bharat Mobility Global Auto Expo. The new Altroz Racer will come powered by a 1.2-liter, three-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine.
It is the same motor as the Altroz iTurbo but has been more powerfully tuned to generate a maximum of 120 horsepower and 170 Nm of torque. This is 10 horsepower and 30 Nm more than the iTurbo. Its main rival, the Hyundai i20 N Line, on the other hand, offers 120 horsepower and 172 Nm of torque. No launch dates have been announced as of yet.
Tata Curvv EV
Although Tata Motors has officially shown the Curvv ICE first in the country, the company has confirmed that it will be first launching the Curvv EV first. As per the reports, it will be launched around July of this year.
Speculations are that the Curvv EV will be offered with two battery pack options like the Nexon EV facelift – the Medium-range model and the long-range model. Currently, the Nexon EV MR uses a 30 kWh battery, whereas the LR variant comes with a larger 40.5 kWh battery.
The outgoing Nexon EV facelift offers around 325 km and 465 km of range in its MR and LR variants, respectively. However, it has been reported that the Curvv EV will be offering around a 500 km range on a single full charge.

Soon after the official launch of the new Tata Curvv EV, Tata Motors will be launching the Curvv diesel in India around August of this year. In terms of design and features, it will be exactly the same as the Curvv EV.
However, it will get a diesel powertrain. This SUV will borrow the time-tested 1.5-liter, 4-cylinder diesel engine from the Nexon diesel. This motor delivers a maximum power of 115 PS and 260 Nm of torque. This engine is expected to be paired with a manual gearbox.
Citroen Basalt
The French automaker Citroen is gearing up for the launch of the new Basalt coupe SUV in the country. This new model is also based on the Citroen’s C3 hatchback’s platform. It is believed that the company will be launching it around August of this year.
It could be priced in the range of Rs 15-20 lakh. Meanwhile, in terms of competition, it will compete with the Tata Curvv coupe SUV in India. It will come powered by the same 1.2-liter, 3-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine.
