Tata has also introduced an XZ+ dark edition variant with the 1.5-liter diesel engine that is priced at ₹10 lakh. The XZ+ dark edition trim sees new features as well for all the engine options such as tire pressure monitoring system and brake sway control.
Official Statement
Mr. Rajan Amba, Vice President, Sales, Marketing and Customer Care, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd. said, “The ALTROZ has created its own mark in the premium hatchback market with more than 1.2 lakh happy owners. With over 20% market share (YTD) in its segment, it has been very popular amongst customers. The addition of the #DARK to its portfolio last year further enhanced its style quotient. The ALTROZ offers true international standards of safety, design, and performance and has played an important role in enhancing our New Forever range.
