Introduction
Tata Motors has taken the wraps off the 2025 Altroz, revealing a comprehensively refreshed premium hatchback that promises to redefine segment standards. Slated for launch on May 22, 2025, the new Altroz showcases sleeker styling, a tech-loaded cabin, and potential powertrain upgrades, strengthening its position against rivals like the Hyundai i20, Maruti Baleno, and Volkswagen Polo. The unveiling comes as Tata aims to capitalize on the Altroz’s established 5-star safety pedigree while injecting contemporary appeal.

The 2025 Altroz adopts Tata’s latest “Impact 3.0” design language, featuring:
- A wider, more aggressive blacked-out grille with chrome accents
- New LED projector headlamps with sequential turn indicators
- Redesigned 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels
- A coupe-like roofline and new “Arizona Blue” metallic paint option
The rear sports connected LED taillights, a revised bumper, and an integrated spoiler – changes that enhance both aesthetics and aerodynamic efficiency.

- A potential EV variant announcement later in 2025
- Recalibrated suspension for better ride-handling balance
Pricing & Market Positioning
Expected to be priced between ₹7.5 lakh to ₹12 lakh (ex-showroom), the 2025 Altroz will:
