Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Tata Altroz
- Sharp looking - the redesigned grille, flush-fitting door handles, and connected tail lights give it a clean and modern look.
- Great rear seat experience - raised under thigh support and ample legroom offers great space for two average sized adults.
- Feature rich - 10.25-inch touchscreen, 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, and an electric sunroof make it a well-equipped hatchback.
- No compromise safety - 6 standard airbags, 360-degree camera, and an already established 5-star safety rating makes it a safe option.
- Only diesel engine option in the segment makes it more appealing to buyers who prioritize fuel efficiency.
Volkswagen Taigun
- Classy Volkswagen family SUV look
- Punchy and refined 1.5-litre TSi engine
- Impressive infotainment experience
- Fun to drive
- Automatic transmission with both engine options.

Tata Altroz
- Fit and finish - many panel gaps on the outside and some flimsy elements inside break the cabin quality’s consistency.
- No diesel automatic option on sale and the diesel is limited to the one-below-top variant.
- Petrol engine gets too noisy under load and has more vibrations than expected.
- Turbo-petrol engine not offered with the facelifted version.
Volkswagen Taigun
- Sitting three people at the back is a squeeze
- Fit and finish levels are not as good as the Vento
- GT Line gets less features as compared to the Highline
- No diesel engine option
