Tata Altroz Racer vs Hyundai i20 N Line : They are not only made for performance, but also win everyone’s heart with their style and sporty look. In 2025, a similar competition is taking place between two powerful hatchbacks – Tata Altroz Racer and Hyundai i20 N Line.
Both the cars target the youth, and for those who want fast speed, sporty design and powerful features – these two options come on top. On one hand is Tata’s new Altroz Racer, which is a great example of Indian engineering, while on the other hand is Hyundai i20 N Line, which has already become a great combination of power and performance.
Talking about design and looks
Tata Altroz Racer looks very aggressive and sporty. Dual tone body, racing stripes and powerful alloy wheels make it look like a racing car. Its red and black combination attracts people at first sight. On the other hand, the Hyundai i20 N Line already comes in a sporty design, with a front grille, red accents and dual muffler exhaust making it very stylish. But if we talk about looking different, then the look of the Altroz Racer looks a bit more new and fresh.
Who is ahead in engine and performance?
The Tata Altroz Racer gets a 1.2 liter turbo petrol engine which gives 120bhp power and 170Nm torque. This engine is more powerful than before and now it also has a 6-speed manual gearbox, which makes driving even more fun. At the same time, the Hyundai i20 N Line gets a 1.0 liter turbo petrol engine which generates the same power of 120bhp, but its torque is slightly less i.e. 172Nm. However, it has the option of both 7-speed DCT and 6-speed iMT, which gives more convenience to those who drive automatic.
Which is more premium in interior and features?
Altroz Racer has now become more premium than before. It now gets a new 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, along with features like ventilated seats, wireless charging, 360-degree camera and new digital instrument cluster.
