Tata Altroz EV – What to expect
Tata Altroz is the brand’s premium hatchback and has been doing really well since its debut. Tata showcased the electric avatar of the Tata Altroz at the Geneva Motor Show as well as the Auto Expo which was held in 2020. The Altroz EV could become a reality soon in the coming time. In this article, we will discuss the Altroz EV and our expectations of it.
Design
The electric Altroz is expected to be similarly designed to the regular Altroz. Projector headlights, similar to the Altroz i-Turbo, new grille as well as new alloys with a contrasting shade of blue, which is the secondary colour in Tata’s EV cars, are expected. The EV is also expected to be offered in Signature Teal Blue colour which we see on the Nexon EV as well.
Platform & Battery Pack
The Altroz’s electric avatar will be based on the ALFA-Arc platform which has been developed especially for the Altroz EV from scratch. The battery pack will be a 30.2kWh liquid-cooled, IP 67 lithium-ion setup which is touted to generate around 100bhp. The EV will be based on the company’s Ziptron EV technology. The Nexon EV is also based on the same. The Altroz, which never received an automatic gearbox, will see a single-speed transmission come in its EV avatar.
Charging Time & Range
The charging time is expected to be close to an hour on DC fast charging when charging from 0 to 80%. The range of the EV is expected to be around 300km on a single charge, however, actual figures might vary. If Tata maintains this charging time to range ratio with its final product, the Altroz will be a great choice for city commutes as well as highway drives.
Features
Floating touchscreen, iRA Connected Car Tech, ABS with EBD and dual airbags are some of the features expected with the Altroz EV. Moreover, the EV will also get regenerative braking to put in some extra miles.
Launch & Pricing
The launch of the Altroz EV is expected to be sometime this year. The Tata Altroz EV could be priced around Rs 11 Lakhs.
Moreover, the Vice President of Passenger Electric Vehicles business at Tata Motors not-so-long-ago declared that all the vehicles in the Tata Motors lineup are capable of going electric whenever the company wishes. This means the launch of EVs would not take long.
