In a segment where most manufacturers stick to limited powertrain options, Tata Motors has taken a different approach with the Tata Altroz Facelift. Launched with an unprecedented 22 variants spanning three fuel types and two automatic transmission options, this premium hatchback redefines what choice means for Indian car buyers.
A Variant for Every Need
The Tata Altroz Facelift lineup starts at ₹6.30 lakh for the base Smart variant and extends up to ₹10.51 lakh for the top-spec Accomplished Plus S DCA. What sets it apart is not just the price spread, but the sheer diversity of configurations available.
The model is offered across seven trim levels—Smart, Pure, Pure S, Creative, Creative S, Accomplished S, and Accomplished Plus S—each catering to different customer requirements.
This extensive variant range means buyers aren’t forced to compromise. Want a diesel engine with premium features? There’s a variant for that.
Need an affordable CNG option without sacrificing safety? Tata has you covered with six airbags as standard across every single variant.
Three Fuels, Multiple Possibilities
The Tata Altroz Facelift stands as the only premium hatchback in India offering petrol, diesel, and CNG powertrains under one roof.
The petrol variants feature a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated engine producing 87 bhp and 115 Nm of torque, delivering smooth city performance with respectable fuel efficiency.
For those prioritizing economy, the diesel option packs a 1.5-litre engine generating 89 bhp and an impressive 200 Nm of torque—making it one of the punchiest hatchbacks for highway cruising.
Remarkably, the Altroz remains the only premium hatchback offering a diesel engine, a segment-exclusive feature that appeals to high-mileage drivers.
The CNG variant, powered by Tata’s advanced iCNG technology with dual-cylinder setup, delivers 72 bhp and 103 Nm while preserving crucial boot space—a practical solution for budget-conscious buyers facing rising fuel costs.
Automatic Options That Impress
Where the Tata Altroz Facelift truly shines is in its automatic transmission offerings.
Buyers can choose between a 5-speed AMT (Automated Manual Transmission) for the petrol variants and a more sophisticated 6-speed DCA (Dual Clutch Automatic) for those seeking premium driving dynamics.
The DCA transmission, borrowed from the Nexon and Curvv lineup, offers smooth, quick gear changes that rival conventional torque converter automatics.
This dual-automatic strategy ensures there’s an option for both value-seeking and performance-oriented customers.

Premium Features Across the Board
Beyond powertrain flexibility, the Tata Altroz Facelift doesn’t compromise on features. Every variant gets six airbags as standard—a rarity in the segment.
Higher trims add voice-assisted electric sunroof, dual 10.25-inch HD digital displays, 360-degree camera, ventilated front seats, wireless charging, and rear AC vents.
The hatchback also debuts with refreshed styling, featuring new LED lighting elements, flush door handles, a redesigned two-spoke steering wheel with illuminated logo, and five attractive color options including the new Ember Glow and Dune Glow shades.
Market Impact
In an era where rivals like the Maruti Suzuki Baleno and Hyundai i20 focus on limited configurations, the Tata Altroz Facelift strategy is refreshingly customer-centric.
The extensive variant matrix ensures buyers don’t have to choose between the right engine, transmission, and features—they can have it all.
For Indian buyers who value flexibility and refuse to compromise on their specific needs, the Tata Altroz Facelift isn’t just another hatchback—it’s a statement that one size doesn’t fit all, and choice matters.
