Tata Altroz vs Maruti Baleno – Drag Race
The YouTuber starts the video by explaining that the Altro is a diesel variant while the Baleno is the petrol one. He begins the race in his Altroz and his friend drives the Baleno. In the first attempt, he zips past the Baleno from the starting line itself. He was never behind during the race. He was quite surprised to see the performance of the Baleno. However, it was quite natural because the diesel version of the Altroz makes significantly more power and torque compared to the petrol unit of the Baleno. The YouTuber then switched cars and drove the Baleno alone on the highway. He reports that the high-speed stability of Baleno is not great. Also, the engine takes forever to reach high speeds. The Altroz feels much more planted at high speeds and also reach the top speeds quite quickly.
