9 Features Hyundai i20 Gets But Tata Altroz Doesn’t | V3Cars

In this article, we share features that you get in the Hyundai i20 but miss in the Tata Altroz.

1. Side Thorax And Curtain Airbags

The i20 offers front side thorax and curtain airbags in it’s higher variants whereas the Altroz only offers driver and co-passenger airbags. It is worth mentioning that the Altroz received a 5-star safety rating from Global NCAP whereas the i20 scored 3 stars.

2. Rear Disc Brakes

While both the i20 and Altroz offer front disc brakes and rear drum brakes, the N Line variants of the i20 offer rear disc brakes as well. They not only improve the stopping distance and braking force, but also offer better feedback.

3. Auto-Dimming IRVM

The top variants of the i20 offer auto-dimming inside rear-view mirror whereas the Altroz gets a manual day/night IRVM. In fact, only the XE, XE Plus and XM Plus variants of the Altroz don’t even get a manual day/night inside mirror. Auto-dimming IRVM controls the glare coming from the headlamps of vehicles behind and increases visibility at night without any manual intervention.

4. Subwoofer

Both the i20 and Altroz offer branded audio system with good sound output. However, the i20 takes the edge on paper with a more premium, Bose-branded sound system including a subwoofer.

5. Telescopic Steering

The i20 offers tilt and telescopic steering as standard across all the variants. The Altroz, on the other hand, doesn’t offer telescopic adjustability, even in the top variants. Telescopic adjustment improves reach and thereby improves driver comfort.

6. Puddle Lamps

The top variants of the i20 offer puddle lamps within the outside mirror housings. Puddle lamps light up the surroundings of the car and help the front passengers with better visibility while entering and exiting the car in the dark.

7. Wireless Phone Charger

The top variants of the i20 offer wireless phone charger whereas the Altroz offers USB charging. It is worth mentioning that the mid variants of the i20 also offer wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, which is a nice addition to the wireless charging feature. With these 2 features, you can charge your phone while using Android Auto or Apple Carplay on the infotainment without fiddling with the wires.

9. Paddle Shifters

The N line variants of the i20 offer paddle shifters whereas the recently-launched Altroz DCA doesn’t offer paddle shifters. It is worth mentioning that the regular turbo DCT Asta optional variant of the i20 also doesn’t offer paddle shifters and this feature remains exclusive to the i20 N line.
