Tata Motors is all set to launch the facelifted version of its popular premium hatchback, the Altroz, on 22 May. This updated model will bring in fresh styling and a completely revamped cabin, aligning it with Tata’s new-age design language. With more tech, better comfort, and improved aesthetics, the new Altroz is gearing up to compete fiercely in the premium hatchback segment.
Interior Updates
One of the most noticeable changes in the upcoming Altroz facelift will be inside the cabin. Tata is introducing its new two-spoke steering wheel, complete with an illuminated Tata logo — a design element first seen in the latest Nexon models.
Along with that, the hatchback will receive:
- A larger touchscreen infotainment system with a new user interface
- Updated digital instrument cluster
- Redesigned dashboard and AC vents
- Revised HVAC controls
- Tweaked centre console for a cleaner layout
The cabin is expected to look much more premium with these changes, matching the new direction of Tata’s interior design philosophy.
Feature Additions
Tata is packing the Altroz facelift with several new features that were previously missing, making it more competitive against rivals like the Hyundai i20, Maruti Baleno, and Toyota Glanza.
Expected features include:
- Electrically adjustable driver’s seat
- Ventilated front seats
- 360-degree surround camera
- Electric sunroof
- Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
- Auto-dimming IRVM
- New seat upholstery and materials
These additions not only boost comfort but also add a touch of sophistication to the driving experience.
Exterior Design
The facelifted Altroz will sport a bolder and more refined exterior. Updates will include:
- A redesigned front grille with sharper detailing
- Sleeker LED headlamps with repositioned DRLs
- New alloy wheel designs
- A more sculpted rear bumper and tail lamp layout
These tweaks aim to modernise the car’s appearance while keeping the Altroz’s original silhouette intact.
Engine Options
Under the hood, Tata is expected to retain the existing engine lineup:
- 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol
- 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol
- 1.5-litre diesel
Additionally, the 1.2 NA petrol variant will continue to offer a factory-fitted twin-cylinder CNG option, catering to eco-conscious buyers and fleet customers alike.
What to Expect
Tata will officially reveal prices and variant-wise feature details on 22 May. Given the upgrades, a slight bump in price is expected, especially for the top-end trims with added features. However, Tata’s focus will likely remain on offering high value for money, something the Altroz has been known for since its debut.
