Q. Altroz XZ petrol or Altroz XT diesel, which is value for money variant?

A step below the top-spec variant, the Altroz XT offers a lot for its premium over the XM variant. It adds features like cruise control, LED DRLs, a cooled glove box and a reverse parking camera. However, a glaring drawback is the absence of a height-adjustable driver’s seat, even at this price point. on the other hand, in terms of features and comforts, the XZ is the top-spec variant with all the bells and whistles. It is the complete package and the one we’d recommend if your budget allows it. The addition of rear AC vents makes it a better all-rounder to make it more comfortable for rear occupants as well. However, selecting of fuel type would depend on your car usage. Apart from it, if you are traveling less than 50-60km a day, opt for a petrol car instead of a diesel. With the extra Rs 1-1.50 lakh spent on a diesel purchase, you can actually drive a similar petrol car for as many as two years! So, do your math carefully. A diesel usually makes sense if you are driving above 60/70km a day.
