Tata Altroz 2026: Standard Features, Superior Safety, and Multi-Fuel Power—Here is the Complete Breakdown
The Tata Altroz has officially redefined the premium hatchback segment in India. Known for its robust “ALFA” architecture, it remains the only car in its class to offer a genuine 5-star safety rating from both Global NCAP and now Bharat NCAP (B-NCAP). In 2026, the Altroz is no longer just about safety; it has transformed into a tech-heavy powerhouse that challenges the Maruti Baleno and Hyundai i20 on every front.
Whether you are a performance enthusiast or a fuel-conscious commuter, the Altroz’s wide range of “Personas”—Smart, Pure, Creative, and Accomplished—ensures there is a perfect match for every Indian buyer.
Design: The Evolution of Impact 2.0
The latest facelift brings a more mature and futuristic look to the Altroz. It isn’t just a car; it’s a style statement on wheels.
- Luminate LED Setup: It now features sharp LED projector headlamps and the signature Infinity Connected LED tail lamps that run across the rear.
- Futuristic Elements: The addition of flush-fitting door handles (segment-first) and new 16-inch “Drag-cut” alloy wheels enhance its aerodynamic efficiency and premium appeal.
- Iconic Doors: It continues to feature 90-degree opening doors, making entry and exit the easiest in its segment.

Step inside, and you’ll notice a cabin that feels inspired by the Tata Curvv and Safari. The 2026 Altroz has ditched the old-school buttons for a sophisticated Clima-touch interface.

- Audio Excellence: The 8-speaker Harman sound system remains the best-in-class, providing a theater-like experience.
Performance: The Most Diverse Engine Lineup
The Altroz is the only hatchback in India that gives you a choice between Petrol, Diesel, and CNG:

- Altroz Racer: For those who crave speed, the Racer edition brings the 120 PS Turbo Petrol engine from the Nexon, mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox.
Safety: The Undisputed King
Safety is in the Altroz’s DNA. It has recently secured a 5-star rating from Bharat NCAP, proving its mettle once again.
- 6 Airbags Standard: Unlike before, 6 airbags and ESP (Electronic Stability Program) are now standard across all variants, starting from the base ‘Smart’ trim.
- Advanced Monitoring: Higher variants now include a 360-degree HD Surround View Camera with a Blind Spot Monitor, making city parking effortless.
