The Altroz is an all-new hatchback from Tata that was recently launched in India. It is available with a petrol and a diesel engine, however, an automatic transmission is missing at this point of time.

Its engines however lack that level of refinement that you get from its rivals. The 5-star safety rating from Global NCAP helps keep the car competitive. You get a 1.5-litre turbocharged diesel engine which produces 88bhp/4000rpm and 200Nm/1250-3000rpm. ARAI claimed mileage of 21.11 km/l is also provided.

The Freestyle is essentially a jacked-up Figo and the added ground clearance is great if the roads in your city are riddled with potholes. Apart from that, the Freestyle is also great for traversing hilly terrain, as long as a 4×4 system is not required. The black cladding on the body also gives it an understated look. Like its siblings, the Figo and Aspire, it too misses out on an automatic transmission. It, however, gets safety features such as ESP, Traction Control and Hill Launch Assist over the Figo. It comes with same engine as the Figo and costs between Rs.9.72 lakh and Rs.10.48 lakh for the diesel variant On-road Mumbai. Being more modern with better features, customers easily prefer the Freestyle over the Figo.
