Tata Motors is all set to unveil the refreshed Altroz on 22 May, marking a significant update to its popular premium hatchback. While the overall body structure remains familiar, the facelift brings a revamped exterior and a completely reworked interior, aiming to align with Tata’s latest design direction.
Exterior
Visually, the 2024 Altroz facelift will sport a sharper, more mature front end. The front fascia gets a fresh look with a new grille design, sleeker LED headlamps, and repositioned daytime running lights. These changes give the car a more premium and wider stance on the road.
At the rear, the update includes redesigned tail lamps and tweaks to the bumper for a sportier finish. New alloy wheels will also be part of the refresh, helping the Altroz stand out in a competitive segment that includes the Hyundai i20 and Maruti Baleno.
Interior
The most noticeable improvements are expected inside the cabin. Tata is introducing its signature two-spoke steering wheel with an illuminated logo—a design element that recently made its debut in the new Nexon.
There’s also a larger infotainment screen onboard, now running a new user interface for better functionality. The dashboard layout has been revised, with updated AC vents and a redesigned HVAC control panel. The centre console has also been slightly reworked to provide better ergonomics and a cleaner layout.
Features
In terms of features, the facelifted Altroz is taking things a step further. Expected additions include:
- Electrically adjustable driver’s seat
- Ventilated front seats
- 360-degree camera
- Electric sunroof
- Auto-dimming IRVM
- New seat upholstery
- Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
These additions aim to give the Altroz an edge over its rivals by packing in more comfort and convenience features usually seen in higher segments.
Engines
Under the hood, there are no major changes expected. The Altroz will likely continue with the same engine options:
- 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol
- 1.2-litre turbo petrol
- 1.5-litre diesel
The NA petrol engine will also continue to offer a twin-cylinder CNG option for buyers looking for better fuel economy and lower emissions. All engines are expected to be BS6 Phase 2 compliant, ensuring better emissions and efficiency standards.
Variants & Launch
The facelift is expected to be offered in multiple trims, with the feature-loaded versions aimed at buyers looking for comfort and technology. Pricing will be officially announced on 22 May, and while there may be a small price hike, Tata will likely aim to keep the Altroz competitive in the premium hatchback space.
Here’s a quick overview of expected highlights:
