All you need to know about TATA’s First Premium Hatchback – TATA Altroz

Date:

TATA AltrozThe story behind the name

You have an unnamed beast out there, who can sour a thousand miles without the mildest shift off the beat, who is as aesthetic on the inside as well as on the outside, who wouldn’t have a crack in his spine for the next 20 years. Now, what name would suit a disposition like this? Maybe Tata didn’t have much of a choice other than “Altroz” after the flying marvel “The Great albatross”.

And also, automobile companies are coming up with more innovative names for their products nowadays. They go far in order to connect with their target audience globally. Similarly, TATA’s first Premium Hatchback‘s name was inspired from the bird Albatross.

Albatrosses are highly efficient in the air, using their dynamic and slope soaring to cover great distances with little exertion. It is the only bird that can fly 10,000 miles without landing. And that’s what Altroz is going to give as well with more agility, performance, efficiency and futurism.
