The Hyundai i20 N Line and Tata Altroz Racer are both well-equipped vehicles. But the Altroz Racer does have certain benefits, such as ventilated front seats and a 360-degree camera with a blind spot monitor.

Nevertheless, Hyundai is providing paddle shifters for the i20 N Line models that come with DCTs. It’s also important to note that the Altroz only has disc brakes on the front wheels, whereas the i20 N Line has disc brakes on all four wheels. A TPMS is another feature that the i20 N Line has that its Tata counterpart does not. Six airbags, ISOFIX child seat attachments, and a reversing camera are examples of standard safety equipment.

Price Range

The Hyundai i20 N Line is offered in two broad varieties, N6 and N8, whereas the Tata Altroz Racer will be available in three: R1, R2, and R3.

Verdict

The Tata Altroz Racer has a powerful engine and a plethora of features. It comes with extra safety and uplifting elements in addition to all the characteristics of the i20 N Line.

In contrast, the Hyundai i20 N Line boasts a more potent engine but is devoid of several important amenities that its rival offers. It does, however, have an automatic gearbox, something the Tata Altroz Racer does not.
