Tata Altroz turbo petrol prices go down; other variants see price hike

Tata Motors has recently hiked the prices of the Altroz hatchback, with the petrol variants now being more expensive by up to Rs 15,000, while prices for the diesel variants have gone up by a maximum of Rs 20,000. Similar to the Nexon, this too is part of the price hike that Tata Motors announced at the beginning of this year due to rising input and operational costs.

Notably, this is the second price hike for the Altroz in a span of two months, with the previous one having come only in November 2021.

• Prices for Altroz NA petrol has gone up by a maximum of Rs 15,000
• Turbo-petrol variants see a reduction in price by up to Rs 8,000
• Diesel variants see the maximum price hike by up to Rs 20,000

Prices for the naturally aspirated petrol variants of the Altroz have gone up in the range of Rs 5,000 – Rs 15,000. The mid-spec XM+ variant sees the maximum hike in price. Prices for the top-spec XZ+ variant, however, remains unchanged, although the Dark Edition that’s based on the XZ+ variant sees a price hike of Rs 5,000.

While prices for the naturally aspirated petrol variants have gone up, interestingly, Tata Motors has reduced the prices for most turbo-petrol variants of the Altroz. It’s only the base XT variant that sees a hike of Rs 2,000, while prices of other variants have gone down by up to Rs 8,000.
