The Tata Altroz fits right into the mix of the premium hatchbacks. But because it does not deliver a step-up or wow experience over its rivals, it fails to set a new standard in the segment. But it comes with the long feature list is the practicality of the cabin with loads of storage and a good fit and finish. The balance of the Alpha Apc platform too raises the bar on comfort and handling in the segment. And finally, the looks, which definitely set a new standard in the segment. On the other hand, Tata Nexon looks better, feels more premium on the inside, and now has a feature list to walk shoulder to shoulder with much of the competition. Reasons to buy the Nexon, however, remain the same: its 5-star safety, ride comfort, sound system, rear-seat space, and value-for-money mid variants. Moreover, we would suggest you take a test drive before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.

All three come with a 5-speed manual as standard, with an optional DCT (dual-clutch automatic) expected to be introduced soon. Stay tuned.
