Tata Altroz competes against Hyundai i20 which also received a small update a few days back. With both premium hatchbacks offering a decent set of features, let us look at which car offers better equipment than the other.

There are some features which are offered in one but not in the other. For instance, features like wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, a 7-speaker audio system from Bose is offered in Hyundai i20 but not in Altroz.
On the other hand, the updated Tata Altroz comes with features like ambient lighting, 360-degree surround camera, air purifier, in-built navigation on instrument console, flush-fitting door handles, and wireless smartphone charger which are not offered in the i20.

Hyundai i20 is currently offered only in a single engine option: a 1.2-litre Kappa naturally aspirated which can be paid with either a 5-speed manual transmission or IVT automatic. The former has an output of 82 bhp at 6,000 rpm and 114.7 Nm at 4,200 rpm. The automatic has the same torque output but churns out 88 bhp at 6,000 rpm.
