Tata Altroz is officially the most fuel-efficient hatchback in India, with its diesel engine offering the highest mileage figures.
Tata has revealed the official mileage figures of the Altroz Diesel, which makes it the most fuel efficient hatchback in India. As of now, there are very few diesel hatchbacks left in India, among which Altroz is the winner. Along with being the safest hatchback of India, it now bags another title to its name.
As claimed officially, Tata Altroz Diesel offers a mileage of 25.11 kmpl. It comes in a close call with the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios Diesel, which gives out 25.1 kmpl. Altroz is now the second most fuel-efficient diesel car of India coming behind Hyundai Aura. The small sedan offers a claimed mileage of 25.40 kmpl.

In its class of premium hatchbacks, Altroz is the only one to offer a diesel engine right now. You might consider Freestyle also in the same space, but is actually a segment below. Very soon, Hyundai is going to launch the new generation i20 which will get a diesel engine. BS6 Jazz is reportedly not getting a diesel engine.
Altroz gets a 1.5 Litre four-cylinder turbo diesel engine that produces 90 BHP and 220 Nm of peak torque. This engine is also seen on the Nexon but has been detuned for better fuel efficiency. It comes mated to a 5-speed manual hatchback as standard fitment. There are rumours that in the near future, Tata might offer it with an automatic gearbox, but that is not sure.
The other engine on offer is Tiago’s 1.2 Litre three-cylinder petrol engine that produces 86 BHP and 116 Nm of peak torque. Reports suggest that Altroz will also get a 1.2 Litre turbo petrol engine that produces around 110-115 PS. Now that Tata’s partnership with JTP has been resolved, there is no surety of it.
