Tata Altroz — Price, Mileage, Variants & Expert Review

Powertrain choice is the Altroz's structural advantage: it is the one hatchback on sale offering petrol, diesel and CNG — the widest fuel selection in its band, per our segment data. That matters because running cost in a hatch is mostly decided at the fuel pump, and the Altroz lets you match the pump to your life: the 1.5L Revotorq diesel with 90 PS and a stout 200 Nm for the heavy-km driver, the 1.2L iCNG (73 PS) for the per-km minimalist, and the 1.2L Revotron petrol (88 PS) for everyone else.

The petrol is also the only one in this class with a proper 6-speed DCA dual-clutch automatic option, alongside the 5-speed manual and AMT. Spread that across three fuels and you get 27 variants from ₹6.30 to ₹10.80 lakh — the widest and, frankly, most confusing lineup among hatchbacks, ranking 21st of 28 on price. The kit list reads maturely: LED headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, cornering foglamps, a single-pane sunroof and flush door handles on upper trims.

Dimensions favour it too: 1,755 mm wide, a 2,501 mm wheelbase and a 345-litre boot that beats both the Baleno (318L) and i20 (311L). The catch is that no official mileage figures are published in our data for any of the three fuels, so build your cost case on the fuel-type logic — 200 Nm diesel torque for highways, CNG pricing for city grind — rather than a brochure number.

Ownership & Running Costs

Annual paid services typical for Tata's small cars; diesel variants may see slightly costlier routine parts (indicative)

Three different powertrains mean three maintenance profiles — diesel highest, CNG adds tank inspections, petrol simplest (indicative)

Hatchback-band premiums; diesel and top trims quote higher on account of price, and factory CNG must be declared (indicative)

No official kmpl figures in our data; as fuel-type logic, CNG runs cheapest per km, diesel wins on loaded highway economy, petrol trades cost for simplicity (indicative)

Altroz vs Rivals

Altroz vs Hyundai i20: From ₹6.00 lakh, petrol-only at 20 kmpl — plusher branding, but it cannot answer the Altroz's diesel or CNG economics. See the Hyundai i20.

Altroz vs Maruti Suzuki Baleno: From ₹5.99 lakh with a 30.61 km/kg CNG claim — the straightforward economy rival with a smaller 318-litre boot. See the Maruti Suzuki Baleno.

Altroz vs Toyota Glanza: The Baleno's twin from ₹6.73 lakh with the same 30.61 CNG figure — cross-shop it for dealer proximity rather than product difference. See the Toyota Glanza.

Altroz vs Hyundai Prime HB: CNG-only hatch from ₹6.00 lakh built for commercial duty — relevant only if the Altroz iCNG's fleet math is your use case. See the Hyundai Prime HB.

GaadiInfo Verdict

The Altroz is the thinking buyer's hatchback: pick the fuel first, then the trim. My money goes to the diesel for anyone crossing ~1,800 km/month — 200 Nm in a 3,990 mm hatch is a genuinely useful oddity — and to the petrol DCA for city dwellers who want the automatic without AMT compromises. The CNG earns its keep on pure per-km cost. Whichever fuel you land on, target the upper-middle trims where the sunroof and LED kit appear; the ₹10.80 lakh top end is SUV territory and hard to justify.

• Decide fuel by monthly km before you enter the showroom: roughly speaking, CNG for dense-city high usage, diesel above ~1,800 km/month with highway bias, petrol otherwise.
• Test the DCA and the AMT back-to-back if you want two pedals — the DCA's smoothness is worth its premium for daily traffic.
• With 27 variants, insist on a printed feature-by-variant sheet and shortlist exactly two trims before discussing money.
• At PDI on a CNG car, verify boot space with the tank fitted; on any variant, check the flush door handles and rain-sensing wipers operate correctly.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Altroz diesel worth buying in 2026?

If you cross roughly 1,800 km/month with highway bias, yes — 90 PS and 200 Nm from the 1.5L Revotorq gives it loaded-car cruising ability no petrol or CNG hatch matches. Below that usage, the diesel premium is hard to recover.

Which automatic does the Altroz use?

The petrol offers both a 5-speed AMT and a 6-speed DCA dual-clutch. The DCA is the one to pay for — it shifts like a conventional automatic rather than pausing like the AMT.

What is the Altroz iCNG's power output?

73 PS and 103 Nm from the 1.2L unit — adequate for city duty, but expect leisurely progress with a full load. It pairs with the 5-speed manual.

How many variants does the Altroz have, and how do I choose?

27, spread across petrol, diesel and CNG at ₹6.30-10.80 lakh. Choose your fuel by monthly running first; then pick from only the two or three trims in that fuel that carry the features you actually want.

How does the Altroz's boot compare with the Baleno and i20?

345 litres against the Baleno's 318 and the i20's 311 — the biggest of the three, with a wide 1,755 mm body helping cabin room too.

Does the Altroz get a sunroof?

Yes, upper trims carry a single-pane sunroof, along with LED headlamps, rain-sensing wipers and cornering foglamps.

What is the official mileage of the Tata Altroz?

Our data sheet carries no published kmpl figures for the current Altroz range. Base your economics on fuel type — CNG for lowest per-km cost, diesel for highway efficiency under load — and take a long test drive on your own route.

Is the top Altroz variant worth ₹10.80 lakh?

Only if the DCA-plus-full-kit combination is exactly what you want. At that price you brush against entry compact SUVs, so the upper-middle trims remain the sensible ceiling for most buyers.
