Shortly after Tata Motors introduced the Altroz CNG with a single-pane electric sunroof, the carmaker has now made the same feature available on the rest of the Altroz line-up as well. This makes the Altroz the second hatchback in its segment after the Hyundai i20 to get a sunroof, but with prices starting from Rs 7.90 lakh (ex-showroom) for the sunroof-equipped variants, the Altroz is currently the most affordable car in the country to come with one.
- Sunroof on the Altroz comes in from mid-spec XM+ trim
- Prices differ by up to Rs 45,000 with non-sunroof-equipped variants
- Altroz is now available with petrol, turbo-petrol, diesel and CNG powertrains
Tata Altroz now gets a sunroof across the range
Tata Motors has introduced the sunroof on the Altroz from the mid-spec XM+ trim, and it is available in a total of 16 variants across the petrol, turbo-petrol, diesel and CNG powertrains. Depending on the variant you choose, the sunroof-equipped ones are pricier by up to Rs 45,000 over the regular ones. Even the Dark edition of the Altroz now gets a sunroof. Here’s a detailed look at the prices of the Tata Altroz with the sunroof.
Altroz trims Prices | 1.2 P XM+(S) Rs 7.90 lakh | 1.2 P XZ+(S) Rs 9.04 lakh |
1.2 P XZ+(S) Dark Rs 9.44 lakh | 1.2P XZ+O (S) Rs 9.56 lakh | 1.2 P XMA+(S) Rs 9.00 lakh |
1.2 P XZA+(S) Rs 10.00 lakh | 1.2 P XZA+(S) Dark Rs 10.24 lakh | 1.2P XZA+O (S) Rs 10.56 lakh |
1.2 Turbo XZ+(S) Rs 9.64 lakh | 1.2 Turbo XZ+(S) Dark Rs 10.00 lakh | 1.5 D XM+(S) Rs 9.25 lakh |
1.5 D XZ+(S) Rs 10.39 lakh | 1.5 D XZ+(S) Dark Rs 10.74 lakh | 1.2 CNG XM+(S) Rs 9.53 lakh |
1.2 CNG XZ+(S) Rs 10.03 lakh | 1.2 CNG XZ+O (S) Rs 10.55 lakh |
In contrast, Hyundai only offers a sunroof on the i20 on the higher-spec Asta and Asta (O) trims, prices of which start from Rs 9.03 lakh (ex-showroom). And while this makes the Altroz the most affordable model with a sunroof in the market currently, the title could be short-lived. Hyundai’s upcoming Exter micro-SUV will also come with a single-pane sunroof in its higher trims, and given the Exter’s positioning, who fares better remains to be seen.
Meanwhile, Tata Motors has also added a wireless charger, an air purifier, and leatherette upholstery for the seats with the new CNG variants. These features are now being offered across all powertrain options, although it is limited to the top-spec XZ+(S) and XZ+O(S) trims only.
Tata Altroz gets a wide variety of powertrain options
Mechanically, the Altroz remains unchanged from before. It continues with the 86hp, 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, the 110hp, 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine, and the 90hp, 1.5-litre diesel engine. A 5-speed manual gearbox is standard across the range while it is only the 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine that gets an automatic gearbox option in the form of a 6-speed DCT.
The 77hp bi-fuel CNG powertrain with a 5-speed manual gearbox was the most recent addition to the range. Most importantly, the Altroz offers the widest range of powertrains in its segment and is also the last-of-its-kind diesel hatchback left in the market.
Tata Altroz price comparison with rivals
Prices for the Tata Altroz range between Rs 6.60 lakh-10.74 Lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) and it continues to rival the likes of the Hyundai i20, Maruti Suzuki Baleno and the Toyota Glanza.
