Ahead of its official debut on 22 May, details of the upcoming 2025 Tata Altroz facelift have surfaced online, giving us a clear look at what to expect. The updated hatchback comes with refreshed styling, a completely reworked interior, and more variant choices than ever. It’s Tata’s next step in keeping its premium hatchback competitive in a segment filled with strong contenders like the Hyundai i20, Maruti Baleno, and Toyota Glanza.
Let’s take a closer look at everything that’s new.
Variants
In line with Tata’s latest naming structure, the new Altroz will be available in a total of seven variants. These are:
- Smart
- Pure
- Pure S
- Creative
- Creative S
- Accomplished
- Accomplished+S
These variants will be offered across multiple powertrain configurations, giving buyers more flexibility depending on their needs—whether it’s fuel economy, style, or features.
Exterior
The 2025 Altroz has gone through a facelift that gives it a bolder and sleeker look. The most noticeable change is the new front fascia and redesigned bumpers. Tata has finally given the Altroz pop-out door handles, aligning it with modern design trends and other newer Tata models.
A key visual change is in the alloy wheel design. Gone are the traditional spoke-style diamond-cut alloys, replaced with a fresh fan-like pattern that adds more flair to the side profile.
Interior
While Tata had already stepped up the interior game with the Racer Edition, this new Altroz takes it further. Expect a cabin that looks and feels more premium, especially on the higher variants.
The top-spec Accomplished+S gets a host of upgrades including a fully digital instrument cluster, dual-tone interiors, and the new Tata two-spoke steering wheel featuring an illuminated logo. That touch alone gives it a very upscale feel.
Features
Tata isn’t holding back on the features either. The Accomplished+S variant is loaded with premium equipment such as:
- Dual digital screens
- Climate control with rear AC vents
- 360-degree surround camera
- Wireless phone charging
- Connected car features
- Electrically controlled sunroof
- Full LED lighting package
These upgrades put the Altroz firmly in the premium category, and potentially above some of its current rivals in terms of tech offering.
Powertrains
There are no major mechanical changes, but Tata is sticking with a reliable and proven engine setup. You get:
- 1.2-litre Revotron petrol engine
- 1.2-litre petrol with CNG option
- 1.5-litre diesel engine
Transmission choices include a five-speed manual, five-speed AMT, and a six-speed DCT depending on the engine variant.
So far, there’s no news about the return of the sportier Racer Edition or the popular Dark Edition, but those are expected later as special upgrades.
Pricing
While nothing is official yet, we expect prices to start around Rs. 7.50 lakh and go up to Rs. 11.50 lakh for the top trims. Special editions like the Racer and Dark are likely to command a premium once launched.
Rivals in this segment include the Maruti Baleno, Toyota Glanza, and Hyundai i20. On the fringe, crossovers like the Hyundai Exter and Tata Punch may also attract the same buyer base, especially for those looking for more ground clearance and a high-seating position.
The 2025 Tata Altroz facelift looks ready to shake things up in the premium hatchback segment. With a wide range of variants, more features, and a premium design inside and out, Tata is setting itself up to attract both new buyers and those looking for an upgrade. With the debut right around the corner, this hatchback might just turn a few heads back toward Tata showrooms.
