Tata Altroz comparison with Maruti Suzuki Baleno (XZ vs Alpha variant) comparison based on dimensions, size, engine, transmission, power, features for petrol and diesel.
The new Tata Altroz is trying to set the new benchmark in the premium hatchback segment. Tata is calling the Altroz gold standard and to go with the name, it’s also available in gold colour option. Let’s put that claim to test by comparing the top variant of Altroz with the Maruti Suzuki Baleno’s top variant (Altroz XZ vs Baleno Alpha). We need to compare the dimensions, engine, transmission, power, torque and feature for both petrol and diesel engines.
In dimensions, both cars are very closely matched. But, the Tata Altroz comes out on top with a slightly wider and taller body. Although it has a smaller wheelbase and slightly less ground clearance. The boot space is comparable as the Altroz XZ has 345-litre boot space while the Baleno has 339 litres of boot capacity.
In the petrol engine comparison, the Tata Altroz has 86PS of power and 113Nm of torque from a 1.2-litre engine. The Maruti Baleno has 83PS and 113Nm so, the Altroz has a slight advantage. But it has a better advantage in terms of torque delivery. Its torque comes early at 3300rpm. So it should be easier to drive the Tata Altroz petrol in the city because the Baleno’s torque comes at 4200rpm. So, Maruti Baleno’s petrol engine is good for enjoyable driving characteristics.
Both cars have a 5-speed manual transmission. But Baleno also has a CVT automatic option.
The diesel engine of the Tata Altroz is a good option again because of its low-end torque delivery. It makes 90PS of power, 15PS more than Baleno diesel. It also makes 200Nm of torque from 1250rpm to 3000rpm. The Baleno only has 190Nm of torque at 2000rpm. With the diesel engine, both cars only have a 5-speed manual transmission.
The 2020 Tata Altroz has a good list of features which are not available in Baleno. Similarly, the Baleno has some features that aren’t available in Altroz.
