Tata updates Altroz XT variant with automatic climate control
Tata Altroz, the premium hatchback from the homegrown automaker was first revealed in late-2019 and was launched a few months down the line. To make its mid-range XT variant tad more exciting, the company has introduced a minor equipment update in the form of automatic climate control. The update has been introduced likely based on the customer feedback.
For the record, previously the Tata Altroz XT only featured a manual AC, while the automatic climate control was only reserved for the higher XZ and XZ(O) trims.
