Tata Motors has been teasing the upcoming Altroz facelift, which is set to go on sale on May 22. The Altroz facelift will compete with the Maruti Suzuki Baleno and the Hyundai i20 in India and the Altroz will be the only vehicle that will be offered with a choice of powertrains. That said, here’s how the 2025 Altroz compares against its primary rivals in the segment in terms of specifications.
Tata Altroz vs Hyundai i20 vs Maruti Suzuki Baleno: Overview of the hatchbacks
The upcoming Tata Altroz facelift will receive design tweaks and going by the teaser images, the new Altroz gets a new face along with connected tail lamps, new alloy wheels, and pop-out door handles, and the car also gets fresh colour schemes. The interior gets dual digital screens, a tweaked climate control interface, and more.
The Hyundai i20 is a familiar design now and what makes the hatchback stand out is the long list of features, which include 16-inch alloy wheels, an electric sunroof, a wireless charger, cruise control, a 10.25-inch infotainment system, a TFT instrument console and more. The Hyundai i20 is a hatchback loaded to the brim with everything an Indian customer could possibly want.
Moving on to the Baleno, Maruti Suzuki offers the right balance between style, performance, efficiency, and features, making the hatchback the best-selling car in the segment. The Maruti Suzuki Baleno’s design and platform are also shared with Toyota. The hatchback gets most of the features the i20 gets such as wireless charging, a touchscreen infotainment system, a head-up display and more.
Tata Altroz vs Hyundai i20 vs Maruti Suzuki Baleno: Engine Specifications and safety
The Tata Altroz facelift is expected to retain its engine choices, which include two petrol options and one diesel mill — the latter which is not an option on the Baleno and the i20. Gearbox choices are also widespread and the availability of a DSG in the segment makes it interesting.
| Specifications | Altroz | i20 | Baleno | Altroz Diesel |
| Displacement | 1.2-litre | 1.2-litre | 1.2-litre | 1.5-litre |
| Power (bhp) | 87 | 118 | 87 | 88 | 89 |
| Torque (Nm) | 115 | 170 | 115 | 113 | 200 |
| Gearbox | MT/DCT | MT/CVT | MT/AMT | MT |
Safety features are also similar on all three hatchbacks and they offer up to 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, stability control, reverse parking camera, 360-degree camera, ISOFIX child seat anchors, and more. The Altroz has earned a 5-star safety rating and the new one is expected to retain the same.
