Tata Motors launched the all-new Altroz with BSVI compliant petrol and diesel engines at the beginning of this year. In January 2020, Tata debuted the facelifted Tiago, Tigor, Nexon and the new Nexon EV.

The Altroz is priced between Rs. 5.29 lakh for the entry-level XE petrol and it goes up to Rs. 7.74 lakh for the XZ Urban petrol grade (both prices, ex-showroom). The diesel range of the premium hatchback starts at Rs. 6.99 lakh for XE and it goes up to Rs. 9.34 lakh for the range-topping XZ Urban diesel (both prices, ex-showroom).
The five-seater is one of the competitively priced premium hatchbacks in the segment with a wide engine range and it will be getting new competition in the form of the third generation Elite i20 in the coming months. To make matters easy for customers during these difficult times, Tata is offering the Altroz with EMI starting from just Rs. 5,555 per month for first 6 months.
