Tata Motors continues to have faith in the premium segment. As a result, the Indian automobile manufacturer will launch the facelift version of the Altroz on May 22. Tata Motors has officially revealed details of the upcoming hatchback. We compare the outgoing version versus the new one and find out whether you should wait for the 2025 model.
Tata Altroz new vs old: Design
The Altroz continues to sport the split headlight styling, but the LED headlights are twin pod in shape with a streak of LED DRL above it and a cube-shaped LED nestled on the top side of the front bumper. The front fender is new with four horizontal slats, and the honeycomb front grille is replaced with a sleeker black grille. The side profile remains pretty much the same, but it now comes with illuminated flush door handle bars, new 16-inch alloy wheels and retains the rear door handles in the C-pillar. Coming to the rear, Tata Motors has confirmed that only the top variants will get infinity tail lights that run across the tailgate.
Tata Altroz new vs old: Cabin and Features
Taking cues from the new and updated Tata cars like the Curvv and Nexon, the 2025 Altroz will replace the three-spoke steering wheel with a two-spoke one with illuminated log and toggle and button switches. The 2025 Altroz will be equipped with a 10.25-inch infotainment system, previously only available on the Altroz Race edition, which will now be available in the standard lineup. New features include a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, ventilated front seats, a powered driver’s seat, auto-dimming IRVM, enhanced telematics, ambient lighting, six airbags, etc.
Tata Altroz new vs old: Engine Options
The 2025 Tata Altroz retains its existing powertrain lineup, including an 84 bhp 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine and an 89 bhp 1.5-litre diesel engine, with options for a 5-speed manual or 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The sporty Altroz Racer variant gets a punchy 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine, delivering 118 bhp and 170 Nm of torque, mated solely to a 6-speed manual gearbox.
