Tata Altroz Facelift : Tata motors have finally launched the facelift model of the premium hatchback Altroz, with a revamped look, better features, and a price that still is acceptable for most of the budget oriented Indian buyers.
With safety, structural strength and practicality being its calling cards, Altroz has been one of the strongest newcomers in its segment.
The 2025 facelift goes a step further by serving up well-meant but equally prudent changes, while keeping all that made its value-for-money appeal enduringly popular.
The new model is for anyone who likes style and substance but does not have a budget that allows too much wallet-stretching.
MODERN COMPACT DESIGN
Updated design, with a modern look and feel, and the compact size fits just about anywhere.
The new Altroz facelift gets minor, but significant upgrades to its exterior, thereby lending it a sporty road presence.
The front grille gets a richer blacked-out finish while the sharper projector headlamps and new LED DRLs around them further enhance the snazziness.
A re-profiled bumper, with more sculpet lines and air-intake elements has been fitted, for a more sporty stance on the car.
On the sides the character lines are carried over, though the alloy wheels are redone in a new-age theme.
At the back, the smoked out effect of LED tail lamps gets even darker and the boot lid design has got a minor tweak.
The overall ‘look’ is that of something sharper and more modern (and contemporary) without sacrificing too much of the Altroz’s identity.
Relax effortlessly and enjoy the space inside and out.
On the inside, the facelifted Altroz never disappoints with its neatly laid out cabin. The dashboard gets a new texture, finish along with upholstery that gets new fabric and more padding for increased comfort.
Interior in dual-tone stays clutter-free, and even the base trims looks premium.
Confort voyageur est claire priorité. And the seats provide generous upholstery, with better thigh and lumbar swaddling.
The rear bench is still among the most generous of the segment and the flat floor favours the middle passenger’s well-being.
Despite this, boot space is good for a hatchback and the Altroz will be easy to live with in the city and on weekends.
Improved Technology and Features
And, the new Altroz is feature-packed more than ever, too. Among the more visible improvements is the 10.25-inch wide touchscreen infotainment system on the higher trims.
It now has wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, better touch sensitivity and a better interface. Higher variants now feature a fully digital instrument cluster replacing the old semi-digital unit.
Convenience features include things like wireless phone charging, cruise control, push-button start, rear AC vents, and auto headlamps depending on the variant.
There’s good kit on offer even for lower trim levels, so the refreshed Altroz looks like a well-equipped car that won’t ask for a premium for it.
Proven Engine Options
There are no changes in the engine department of the Altroz facelift. The 1.2-lit naturally aspirated petrol engine remains the workhorse, offering around 88 PS of power and 115 Nm of torque.
It comes mated to a 5-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed dual clutch automatic (DCA), which has been worked upon for improved smoothness and city drivability.
Although it’s a small-scale power figure, the engine is all about efficiency and sophistication.
The CNG option also makes the WagonR choice very convenient for customers who value running costs over performance.
Tata has done a commendable job in NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness) tuning of the car to make it a smoother and relatively quieter drive experience.
Reliable Safety Standards
And as before, safety is still one of the Altroz’s biggest weapons. It is still built on Tata’s ALFA architecture, and is also still rated 5-stars by the Global NCAP for crash safety.
The space comes with safety features such as dual airbags, ABS with EBD, cornering stability control, and rear parking sensors.
Top-spec trims get a rear camera, ISOFIX seating mounts and traction control. Drive-wise, Tata’s emphasis on structural integrity, as well as safety hardware, makes the Altroz one of the most confidence inspiring hatchbacks in its segment.
Pros and Cons
The facelifted Altroz has the edge when it comes to safety, cabin space and equipment levels.
Its more modern styling and updated infotainment system make it more attractive to younger buyers.
Its cheaper price, even considering the extra features, allows it to hold its own against more recent challengers.
Downsides The naturally aspirated petrol engine doesn’t feel at home on the highway.
Tata Motors has discontinued turbo-petrol version which was an option on the prior model. Some interior materials are still a bit behind Korean and Japanese rivals in feel.
