As far as safety is concerned, the Altroz Racer follows Tata’s standards with features such as 6 airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), TPMS, ISOFIX mounts, and 3-point seatbelts with reminders for all. Being an improved version of the standard Altroz, which scored 5 stars on Global NCAP crash tests, the Altroz Racer will definitely be safer in all terms.

i20 N Line Vs Altroz Racer: Engine

In terms of power, the Hyundai i20 N Line comes equipped with a powerful 1.0 litre, 3-cylinder turbo petrol engine which is capable of generating 120 bhp of power and 172 Nm of torque. This powerhouse comes paired with a 6-speed manual and 7-speed DCT. Some other performance-related features include a tough suspension setup, disc brakes on all wheels and most importantly it gets the twin-tip exhaust note which makes it a real sports hatchback.

On the other hand, confirmed by a recently leaked dealer presentation, the Atroz Racer will be powered by a 1.2 litre, 3-cylinder turbo petrol engine which makes 120 bhp of power and 170 Nm of torque. The 1.2-litre turbo petrol unit will be mated with a 6-speed manual and Dual Clutch Automatic gearbox (DCA) gearbox. Despite generating similar power figures, both the Hyundai i20 N Line and Altroz Racer will differ in performance, depending on the tuning.
