Tata Motors is ready to launch the much-awaited 2025 Altroz facelift on May 22, 2025. The facelift is the first major one since the Altroz’s launch in 2020. With the Hyundai i20, Maruti Baleno, and Toyota Glanza always setting a benchmark, the Altroz facelift is Tata’s try at keeping up in the premium hatchback segment. With design overhauls that seem from the future to segment-first technology, this facelifted Altroz is going to pack a complete package for the modern-day buyer.
Let’s go in-depth into everything the new Tata Altroz facelift brings to the table:
Bold and Futuristic Exterior Design
Perhaps the biggest plus of the 2025 Altroz facelift is that it receives a new and aggressive design. The car has been bestowed with a brand-new fascia at the front. The headlamp cluster also receives twin-pod LED headlamps, which make it look more aggressive and futuristic. These are accompanied by angular, eyebrow-shaped LED DRLs, which just add to the car’s modern looks.
Added to its visual drama are reworked pixel-style LED fog lights, now housed separately from the main headlamp units and joined by a solid black insert that spans the bumper. It not only broadens the car’s visual presence but also lends it a sporting road presence.
On the side, the silhouette is mostly the same, but there are subtle updates. The 16-inch alloy wheels are now offered in bold dual-tone finish. One of the design updates is the front’s flush-type illuminated door handles — a segment-first feature. Not only do they add to the visual appeal, but they also help the car cut through air. Rear door handles continue to be discreetly tucked away in the C-pillars, maintaining the coupe-like look.
The back has also been updated with built-in LED tail lamps, providing it with a sleek, premium appearance. The bumper also receives an even more aggressive black insert, contributing to the car’s sporty and muscular appearance.
Vibrant Color Palette
Tata Motors is introducing the 2025 Altroz facelift in five new colors:
- Dune Glow
- Pure White
- Royal Blue
- Ember Glow
- Pure Grey
In addition to these, buyers also get a contrasting black roof, which is offered from the Accomplished S variant level and upwards. This two-tone treatment also adds to the sporty and young nature of the vehicle.
Premium Cabin with Technology-Oriented Upgrades
Step inside the Altroz and you are welcomed to a cabin that is tech-savvy and luxurious. Tata has introduced a dual-tone beige interior scheme that contributes to the illusion of space and luxury. The dashboard has been redesigned from scratch to accommodate fresh digital interfaces and improved ergonomics.
Front and center is the 10.25-inch floating touchscreen infotainment system, introducing more graphics, faster response, and improved smartphone connectivity via Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. This is joined by a 10.25-inch all-digital instrument cluster, a class-first feature. The cluster is fully customizable, with a high amount of vehicle data and multimedia data displayed in a clear, sharp fashion. Another significant enhancement is the new touch-screen climate control that eliminates physical knobs and buttons. The thin profile provides for easy cabin temperature adjustment and adds to the slim appearance.
Tata has also added an LED Tata logo on the restyled 2-spoke steering wheel, which brings a touch of style and brand identity drawn from its flagship offerings like the Safari and Harrier.
Improved Rear Passenger Comfort
Rear seat comfort in the 2025 Altroz facelift has been significantly enhanced. Tata finally included a foldable rear center armrest with inbuilt cupholders, something that was overdue but did not find a spot in the previous iteration. Rear aircon vents, rear charging points, and ample legroom are part of the deal too, and that makes the Altroz a very serious contender for family buyers.
Class-Leading Features & Convenience
As far as creature comforts and technology are concerned, the new Altroz is packed to the hilt. Some of the key features include:
- Single-pane electric sunroof
- Wireless phone charger
- Push-button start/stop with smart key
- Cruise control
- Auto-folding ORVMs
- Height-adjustable driver’s seat
- Rear wiper and defogger
- Voice commands with multi-language support
These additions not only position the Altroz as a contender to its rivals but also occasionally better than them in terms of value-added offerings.
Strong Safety Package
Safety has never been Tata’s weak point, and the 2025 Altroz facelift is no exception. The new car will feature:
- Six airbags across all models as standard
- 360-degree surround view camera system with blind spot detection
- ISOFIX mounting points for child seats
- Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
- Traction Control and Hill Hold Assist
- Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
- 3-point seat belts for everybody
With these aspects, Tata hopes to strengthen its reputation as being one of the safest car companies in India.
Powertrain Options: Familiar But Reliable
While official specifications remain to be released, Tata will most likely carry over the tried and tested engines of the earlier Altroz. These include:
- 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine producing 86 PS and 113 Nm
- 1.2-liter petrol-CNG dual fuel variant
- 1.5-liter turbo diesel engine (optional on some variants)
Transmission choices must be both 5-speed manual and 6-speed DCA automatic transmissions, depending on model.
This approach makes it possible for Tata to offer customers several choices depending on their performance and fuel requirements.
Competitive Pricing & Competitors
The facelifted Altroz will be available from approximately Rs 7 lakh (ex-showroom). This positions it directly against:
- Hyundai i20
- Maruti Suzuki Baleno
- Toyota Glanza
With its facelift, industry-leading safety, and segment-first technology, the Altroz is better positioned than ever to challenge these segment leaders.
Final Thoughts: A Facelift That Sets a New Benchmark
The 2025 Tata Altroz facelift is not just a design facelift — it’s a massive step forward in design, technology, comfort, and safety. With thoughtful updates in all areas and a focus on offering features that are commonly seen in upper segments, Tata Motors has ensured that the new Altroz will appeal not just to current Tata fans but also to new buyers. Whether you’re trading up from a budget hatchback or buying your first premium car, the new Altroz provides an exciting mix of style, refinement, and safety. Launched tomorrow, the facelifted Altroz could be the new benchmark in the premium hatchback category.
