The Indian hatchback market just got a whole lot more exciting! Tata Motors has officially launched the 2025 Tata Altroz facelift, and it’s turning heads for all the right reasons. Starting at ₹6.89 lakh (ex-showroom), the Tata Altroz is back with a bold new design, segment-leading safety features, and the rare inclusion of a diesel engine—a feature that sets it apart from its rivals in this highly competitive space.
Here’s everything you need to know about the all-new Tata Altroz that’s poised to shake up the premium hatchback segment.
Bold New Look for the Tata Altroz
The 2025 Tata Altroz facelift debuts a sharper, more aggressive design language, giving the car a distinctive road presence. The facelifted model features dual-pod LED headlights paired with eyebrow-like LED DRLs for a futuristic front-end look. A 3D front grille and pixel-style fog lamps with a connected black insert add to its athletic stance.
The side profile maintains the car’s familiar proportions but gains in sophistication with flush-fitting door handles—a segment-first feature that enhances both aerodynamics and visual appeal. The new dual-tone alloy wheels also elevate the premium vibe of the Altroz.
At the rear, the design team has added sleek connected LED tail lamps joined by a light bar, giving the hatchback a tech-forward, modern edge. Black accents on the rear bumper complete the dynamic look.
Interior Upgrades That Feel Truly Premium
Step inside the Tata Altroz facelift and you’re greeted with an upmarket, technology-laden cabin. Tata has given the dashboard a new ‘Grand Prestigia’ layout, dominated by two massive 10.25-inch displays—one for infotainment and another for the instrument cluster.
The infotainment system now supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, while the new 2-spoke steering wheel with a backlit Tata logo adds a futuristic touch. Gloss black and copper accents across the dash give the cabin an elegant finish.
Comfort features like automatic climate control with rear AC vents, wireless charging, and an air purifier ensure the Altroz is ready for long drives and city commutes alike.
Segment-Leading Safety in the Tata Altroz
Tata Motors has made safety a cornerstone of the Altroz’s identity. The facelift version builds on the previous model’s 5-star Global NCAP rating with even more features:
- 6 airbags (standard across all variants)
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
- ABS with EBD
- Rear parking sensors
- 360-degree camera with blind-spot monitoring
The blind-spot monitor, in particular, integrates with the digital cluster to show real-time visuals from the ORVM camera—an advanced feature typically seen in higher-end cars.
Engine Options That Cover All the Bases
The new Tata Altroz caters to all types of buyers with its wide range of powertrain options:
1.2L Petrol Engine
- Power: 86 PS
- Transmissions: 5-speed Manual, 5-speed AMT, 6-speed DCT
- Ideal for city driving and offers a good mix of performance and fuel economy.
1.5L Diesel Engine
- Power: 90 PS
- The only diesel hatchback in the segment, perfect for long-distance drivers and highway cruisers.
1.2L CNG Variant
- Power: 74 PS
- Twin-cylinder setup leaves you with a usable 210-litre boot
- Great for city users looking for lower running costs.
Tata’s decision to retain the diesel option and introduce an AMT for the petrol engine makes the Tata Altroz a rare offering with something for every kind of driver.
Trims and Variants of the Tata Altroz
Tata has introduced a new naming structure with four main variants:
- Smart – Entry-level but feature-packed with standard safety gear
- Pure – Adds convenience features and gets optional sunroof
- Creative – Balances price with advanced features like 10.25-inch screens
- Accomplished S – Top-spec trim with sunroof, air purifier, blind spot monitor, and more
There’s also an Accomplished Plus S variant for those who want everything Tata has to offer in the Altroz.
How the Tata Altroz Stands Against Rivals
The Tata Altroz facelift enters a battleground filled with heavyweights like the Maruti Baleno, Toyota Glanza, and Hyundai i20.
- The Baleno is the most affordable, starting at ₹6.70 lakh, but misses out on a diesel engine.
- The Glanza, priced similarly to the Altroz at ₹6.90 lakh, offers Toyota’s trusted after-sales support.
- The Hyundai i20 positions itself as a more premium product but comes at a higher price point.
The Altroz’s unique offerings—like its diesel engine, 6 airbags as standard, and futuristic design—help it stand out. Its starting price of ₹6.89 lakh is competitive enough to lure buyers from across the segment.

Color Options to Suit Every Style
The Tata Altroz facelift is available in five stunning colors:
- Pure Grey
- Dune Glow
- Royal Blue
- Ember Glow
- Pristine White
Each color is curated to cater to a wide range of tastes—from subtle elegance to bold and youthful.
Boot Space and Practicality
Despite all the new tech and features, the Altroz maintains its 345-litre boot space, which can easily fit a large, medium, and cabin-sized suitcase with room to spare. The CNG variant’s twin-cylinder setup still offers a respectable 210-litre boot, a big plus for practicality-focused buyers.
Tech and Connectivity
Beyond just the infotainment screens, the Altroz packs serious tech:
- Tata iRA connected car tech
- Remote engine start
- Live vehicle tracking and diagnostics
- Wireless charging pad
These features not only enhance day-to-day usability but bring the Altroz up to speed with today’s connected car ecosystem.
Built to Last: Tata’s Manufacturing Excellence
Tata has clearly upped its game when it comes to fit and finish. The paint quality, panel alignment, and choice of interior materials all suggest a product built with attention to detail and longevity in mind.
Customers can also benefit from Tata’s expanding service network, easy parts availability, and extended warranty programs, making long-term ownership more reassuring.
Official bookings for the new Tata Altroz facelift begin on June 2, 2025, and early demand is expected to be high. With so much packed into a value-driven price, the Altroz is set to give its rivals a serious challenge.
Final Verdict: Tata Altroz Redefines the Premium Hatchback
The 2025 Tata Altroz facelift is more than just a cosmetic update. It brings meaningful changes in design, features, safety, and drivability, all at a price that keeps it within reach of most buyers. In a segment where most players have gone petrol-only, Tata’s decision to retain a diesel engine and introduce a CNG option speaks volumes about its commitment to customer choice.
If you’re shopping for a premium hatchback that ticks all the boxes—style, safety, performance, and tech—the new Tata Altroz should be at the top of your list.
