Tata Motors has once again raised the bar in the premium hatchback segment with the 2025 Tata Altroz Facelift. Known for its bold design, 5-star safety rating, and well-balanced dynamics, the Altroz now gets a much-needed refresh. The facelift brings cosmetic upgrades, tech enhancements, and subtle mechanical improvements – all while retaining its core identity.
Whether you’re looking for a daily city commuter or a stylish hatchback for weekend getaways, the updated Altroz is worth a closer look.
Exterior Design: Sharper and Smarter
The 2025 facelift introduces a more aggressive and sportier stance to the Altroz. While the overall silhouette remains familiar, here are the noticeable changes:
- New LED DRLs integrated into the bumper, offering a sleeker front profile.
- A redesigned grille with a gloss black finish and chrome inserts, giving the front fascia a premium touch.
- Updated dual-tone alloy wheels and a more prominent rear bumper.
- The new Crimson Red and Meteor Bronze color options add to the refreshed appeal.
Tata hasn’t gone overboard with the styling, but the facelift ensures the Altroz remains competitive against the likes of the Hyundai i20 and Maruti Suzuki Baleno.
Interior & Features: Tech-Enhanced Comfort
Step inside, and the Altroz facelift feels more upmarket than ever before.
- A larger 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system now takes center stage, supporting Android Auto and Apple CarPlay wirelessly.
- The fully digital instrument cluster adds a modern touch to the cockpit.
- Ventilated front seats (in higher variants) are a welcome addition, especially for Indian summers.
- Soft-touch materials and a dual-tone dashboard elevate the premium feel.
Tata has also improved the infotainment interface, making it smoother and more intuitive. The premium JBL sound system, available in top trims, offers a crisp in-cabin audio experience.
Engine and Performance
Under the hood, Tata offers the same set of engine options as before, with slight tuning for better drivability and refinement:
- 1.2L Revotron Petrol (NA) – Suitable for city commuting, with better NVH levels.
- 1.2L i-Turbo Petrol – Offers more punch for highway driving and overtaking.
- 1.5L Turbo Diesel – Fuel-efficient and ideal for long-distance users.
The new 7-speed DCT automatic gearbox, available with the turbo petrol variant, is smoother and more responsive than before. Ride quality remains a strong point, with the Altroz handling potholes and bad roads comfortably.
Safety: Still a 5-Star Contender
Tata hasn’t compromised on safety. The Altroz continues to offer:
- Dual airbags, ABS with EBD, Corner Stability Control, and ISOFIX as standard.
- Higher variants include 6 airbags, ESC, TPMS, and a 360-degree camera – a segment-first feature.
With a 5-star GNCAP rating retained, the Altroz facelift reinforces Tata’s commitment to building safe cars.
Variants and Pricing (Expected)
While official prices are yet to be announced, the 2025 Altroz Facelift is expected to be priced between ₹6.99 lakh to ₹11.49 lakh (ex-showroom) depending on the variant and transmission.
Final Verdict
The 2025 Tata Altroz Facelift is not a revolutionary change, but it’s certainly a smart evolution. It now looks more premium, packs more features, and offers improved drivability without tampering with the basics.
If you’re in the market for a stylish, safe, and practical hatchback, the updated Altroz deserves a top spot on your shortlist.
