Car enthusiasts, get excited! Tata Motors has just revealed the 2025 Tata Altroz Facelift, a premium hatchback set to hit India on May 22, 2025. With a sharp new look, high-tech features, and five-star safety, this update takes on rivals like the Maruti Suzuki Baleno, Hyundai i20, and Toyota Glanza. From flush door handles to twin HD screens, the Altroz Facelift promises to elevate the hatchback game. Here’s everything you need to know about its design, tech, engines, and pricing as it gears up to shake the India car market.
Launch and Availability
The 2025 Tata Altroz Facelift is slated for launch in India on May 22, 2025, with prices to be announced on the same day. Tata Motors has been teasing the car since early May, with official images and videos dropping on May 12, 2025, sparking buzz across platforms like X. Expect bookings to open soon via Tata’s official website, Amazon India, and dealerships in cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru. The Altroz will be available in five personas—Smart, Pure, Creative, Accomplished S, and Accomplished S+—offering multiple variants to suit budget buyers and premium seekers.
Design: Sharp and Modern
The Altroz Facelift sports a bold redesign that screams sophistication:
- Exterior: A 3D-style grille, Luminate LED headlamps with eyebrow-like LED DRLs, and a sporty front bumper give it a fresh face. The rear features connected Infinity LED tail lamps, a first for the Altroz, plus a redesigned bumper. Flush door handles (manual, not auto pop-out) and new 16-inch alloy wheels add a sleek vibe. Colors include Dune Glow, Ember Glow, Pure Grey, Royal Blue, and Pristine White.
- Interior: The cabin feels premium with a dual-tone beige-brown theme, redesigned dashboard, and sleeker AC vents. A 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment and 10.25-inch driver’s display (UltraView twin HD screens) steal the show, alongside a two-spoke steering wheel with an illuminated Tata logo.
The Altroz keeps its athletic silhouette but adds modern flair, making it a head-turner in the premium hatchback segment.

Features: Tech-Loaded for 2025
The 2025 Altroz Facelift is packed with cutting-edge tech to rival the Baleno and i20:
- Infotainment: The 10.25-inch touchscreen supports Google Maps, wireless Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay, paired with a Harman sound system featuring tweeters and a woofer.
- Safety: Retains its five-star Global NCAP rating with six airbags, 360-degree camera, ABS with EBD, ESP, and tire pressure monitoring.
- Comfort: Offers a single-pane sunroof, ventilated front seats, wireless charging, rear AC vents, and ambient lighting. The touch-and-toggle climate control adds a premium touch.
These upgrades make the Altroz a feature-rich choice for tech-savvy buyers and families.

Engines: Tried and Tested
No major changes under the hood—the Altroz Facelift sticks with its reliable powertrains:
- 1.2L Petrol: 87 bhp, 115 Nm, with 5-speed manual or 6-speed dual-clutch automatic (DCA).
- 1.2L CNG: 73 bhp, 103 Nm, with 5-speed manual.
- 1.5L Diesel: 90 bhp, 200 Nm, with 5-speed manual.
- 1.2L Turbo-Petrol (Altroz Racer): 118 bhp, 170 Nm, with 6-speed manual.
While some hoped for a turbo-petrol automatic, Tata reserves it for the Altroz Racer. The CNG option keeps it eco-friendly, and the diesel remains unique in the segment. Mileage ranges from 19.17-23.64 kmpl (petrol/diesel) to 26.2 km/kg (CNG).

Pricing and Market Position
The 2025 Tata Altroz Facelift is expected to start at Rs 6.75 lakh, with top variants reaching Rs 11.50 lakh (ex-showroom), a slight premium over the current Rs 6.65-11.30 lakh. This keeps it competitive with the Baleno and i20, while the diesel and CNG options give it an edge for fuel-conscious buyers. The Altroz Racer (top-end) targets performance enthusiasts, rivaling the Hyundai i20 N Line. Tata aims to boost sales, as the Baleno led FY25 with over 1 lakh units, while Altroz lagged.

Why the Altroz Facelift Stands Out
The 2025 Altroz Facelift blends style, safety, and value:
- Design: Sleek LED lighting and flush handles align with Tata’s modern design language, seen in the Curvv and Nexon.
- Tech: Twin 10.25-inch screens and 360-degree camera match pricier SUVs, making it a tech leader in its class.
- Safety: The five-star NCAP rating remains a trump card, appealing to safety-conscious buyers.
- Versatility: Petrol, diesel, CNG, and turbo options cater to diverse needs, unlike the Baleno’s petrol-only lineup.
Despite strong rivals, the Altroz’s premium upgrades and affordable pricing could help it close the sales gap.
