The general shape of the interior hasn’t been changed, but the changes involve some upgraded technology. In place of the previous analog-digital mix, there is now a digital 10.25-inch instrument cluster.
Only buyers of the top level can use the map display and check for blind spots. The steering wheel on higher trims is 2-spoke, comes with a lit Tata logo and is standard. You will find controls for the radio, cruise control and making calls mounted in the middle stack.

  • 1.2L petrol engine is rated for 88 bhp 
  • 1.5L diesel – 90 units of power 
  • 1.2L petrol-CNG produces 74 bhp 
All the diesel versions are fitted with the standard 5-speed manual gearbox, whereas the automatic option is available only on select petrol models. The Altroz Racer edition, with a 1.2L turbo-petrol engine, is set to be introduced at some time after the other versions.

Different Models and What to Pay

The new range is set from ₹7 lakh to ₹11.50 lakh ex-showroom, instead of the previous ₹6.65 lakh to ₹11.30 lakh.

Importance and Predictions

Although the compact SUV market is rising, premium hatchbacks are still important, mainly for those living in and near cities. According to those in the industry, Indians will still purchase more hatchbacks than any other type of car in 2025. The improvements and new features in the Altroz make it more competitive, maintaining the strong build quality that was a key reason for the model’s 5-star global safety rating.

Launching and Availability

The updated 2025 Tata Altroz will soon be launching today and dealerships across the country are expected to soon have them available. Orders are expected to begin right after the new car is introduced.
