Charlie Vlogs conducts this competition on YouTube. Interestingly, they have the turbo petrol version of the Altroz. Before the first round, they set up parameters to make the competition comparable. This includes having the races with the AC off, Traction off and the vehicles being in their sportiest settings. For the first two rounds, there are three people in the Baleno and just two people in the Altroz. Unsurprisingly, the latter was convincingly able to trounce the competition throughout the entire length of the drag strip.
