Tata Altroz Review and Opinion - Top Things to Know
The Tata Altroz is one of the few premium hatchbacks still on sale in India amidst the huge and trending demand of SUVs. It was first launched in 2020, and the recent facelift has kept it modern for recent times, and relevant amidst the competition. Bilal Firfiray and Seshan Vijayraghvan tested both the diesel manual and the CNG versions. Here are the five key takeaways from the Altroz's in-depth first drive impression already live on our website.

- The Altroz has always been stunning to look at.
- Despite the changes, the facelift more of refines its design now.
- The hatchback gets sharper edges, fresh LED DRLs, and a streamlined bumper.

Seshan has detailed the changes on the facelifted Altroz saying, "One instruction that Tata designers had with this facelift is that it should be recognisable as the Altroz, and they have done their job to the tee. Describing their work with the facelift – both inside and out – in a word would be ‘smart’. The headlamps and bonnet shape haven’t changed. But the headlamps now get a new eyebrow DRL with twin-barrel LEDs inside the smoked finish. Even the grille connecting the two headlamps is new, but adding a connected lighting strip here would have made it more 'family-friendly'. What’s even more family-friendly is the lower bumper, which takes cues from the Nexon with flared vertical vents on either side. There are horizontal louvres lower down the bumper, making it look more modern than before."
Pros
- Most modern looks in the segment
- New variants including CNG
- Feature-packed refreshed interior
Cons
- Mediocre finesse
- Petrol model not fuel-efficient
Verdict
The Tata Altroz facelift brings in modern tech with a premium design, especially with its new bold grille and LED lighting. Features like a 10.25-inch touchscreen are latest to its segment, but the good thing is, it continues to boast a five-star safety rating (Bharat NCAP) across petrol, diesel, and CNG variants. So, with multiple powertrain options, adequate comfort, safety, and style; it shines in its segment.
