Tata has never disappointed with their pricing of new gen cars. Awesome looking car with a 5 star safety ranking. Just wish they offer a Black Altroz too either in JTP or as an option in regular color lineup. I am indeed happy to see such superb pricing & commitment to safety from TML. Looking forward to seeing it at the Expo.
