But Altroz shows a different (lower) gear when we press the clutch a little and drive. Gear display mystery: Any child who has the basic knowledge of how manual cars work will tell which gear is the car being driven on.The service people scream out if we plug in an OBD2 scanner to the OBD2 port, but they go ahead and change the ECU itself without telling the customers and brand it under the same model. Now if they are making this, they should be clear while giving out test drive vehicles with older and better ECUs with the same model name and number. The only explanation that I can find here is that they have replaced the ECU altogether. Modern cars have every unit in a plug-and-play format, so why isn't it possible to plug in TFT instead of analogue? The physical dimensions of both the clusters are the same. Can't replace my analogue with the TFT cluster.So why is it not possible? Weren't the XZ before August 2021 coming with TFT clusters? So why not install one in my vehicle? This leads to the following question: When I asked for the TFT cluster and offered to pay whatever extra for the same, the support representatives and engineers said it was not possible. When the dealership realized that the cluster was different, they panicked and offered me an on-spot 10k discount. Huge difference between TFT and analogue cluster, but the price difference is just 10k.In the manual, it clearly says that the status of both headlights and fog lamps will be displayed in the instrument cluster. No indication of the headlights on/off and fog lights on/off.This is a very simple software change, I myself being a software developer, know how simple it will be. When I raised a support case with this issue, the support staff said it would be escalated to the engineering team and later said that it could not be added. So they sent out a driver to check, and then they realized that it was not displayed anywhere. When I asked them to show it, they had no answer. When I asked this question to the dealership, they said it was displayed. The cruise control set speed is not displayed in the cluster.Keeping the above fact in mind, I will be highlighting around 40 problems and oversights in Altroz XZ 2021 model: Instrument cluster: For example, the instrument cluster is changed from TFT to Analog, but in test drive vehicles, they still have TFT clusters. They have done a hidden cost cutting due to global chip shortage and Make in India restrictions and the dealers don't inform this for some reason. With TCS/Tata implementing the above blend, it has led to some serious oversights in key features' front end and a huge lack of testing their features.īefore starting, I want to mention that the Altroz XZ 2021 and Altroz XZ 2020 are significantly different. Therefore, here are my honest and open opinions/suggestions to the Altroz engineering and development team-One thing I realize here is that Tata engineered its new generation software with the knowledge of its acquired company Jaguar's code and with a strict Make in India concept. After driving the vehicle for 2+ years with 32,000 km on the odometer, I believe I am qualified to give an in-depth analysis and opinion on this vehicle to such an extent that no developers/testers of this car ever went before. I own a Tata Altroz XZ 2021 manual transmission non-turbo model. BHPian SpeedBird recently shared this with other enthusiasts.
