Hyundai i20 vs Tata Altroz: which should you buy?
The Hyundai i20 starts at ₹5.99L against the Tata Altroz's ₹6.30L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹0.31L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹10.39L, where the i20 tops out. Past that only the Altroz has anything left to sell you, up to ₹10.77L.
Fuel is a real difference here: the i20 comes in petrol, the Altroz in petrol, diesel and CNG.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹10.39L to both showrooms and you come out with the i20 Asta(O) at ₹10.39L or the Altroz Accomplished S at ₹10.37L.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.02L more for the i20 Asta(O): tyre pressure monitor and SOS emergency call (E-call / B-call). The useful extras on top: speakers (7 against 4) and auto headlamps. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Also on the i20 Asta(O): leatherette upholstery, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the i20 Asta(O), you give up air purifier, which the Altroz Accomplished S keeps
- Choose the Tata Altroz Accomplished S if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.02L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Hyundai i20 Asta(O) if
- Safety kit matters more to you than keeping the money
