PredecessorTata Tiago

The Tata Altroz is a subcompact car/supermini manufactured by Tata Motors. The Altroz was revealed at the 89th Geneva International Motor Show alongside the new Buzzard, Buzzard Sport, and H2X compact SUV concept.[1] It was launched to the Indian market on 22 January 2020.[2][3] The name "Altroz" was inspired by name of bird species, Albatross.

At present, the Altroz has three engines on offer, which are 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol, 1.5-litre turbodiesel and a 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol.[4] There is only a 5-speed manual transmission on offer for now, with an optional wet-clutch DCT automatic planned.[5] However, the automatic has not yet entered production and there seems to be no defenite timeline on when it will arrive.

An electric version of the Altroz is expected to launch on sale around late 2021 or 2022.[6]

Safety[]

Tata Altroz rear

The Tata Altroz was tested by the Global NCAP in its basic safety specification of two airbags and ISOFIX anchorages as standard. It achieved five stars for adult occupant protection (becoming the second Indian car to do so)[7] and three stars for child occupant protection. Its structure was rated as capable of withstanding further loadings. The car does not offer ESC or side airbags on any variant and does not offer three-point seatbelts in all seating positions (Tata offers Corner Stability Control on all variants but this has limited functionality when compared to ESC).
