2025 Tata Altroz: What's new and what remains the same on the facelifted hatchback
Tata Motors has officially revealed the 2025 Altroz facelift ahead of its scheduled launch on May 22. This is the first major overhaul of the premium hatchback since its debut in 2020. While the car retains its basic silhouette, it receives important updates in design, features, and cabin layout, making it more aligned with Tata's evolving product language. Here's a breakdown of the five key highlights:
1 Exterior facelift and changes
The most visible change lies in the Altroz's revised exterior styling. The front end features new twin LED headlamps with double-barrel detailing and integrated LED DRLs. A wider air intake and tweaked bumper give it a more aggressive look. At the rear, the taillights are now connected by a slim LED light bar, and the bumper has been reprofiled. Uniquely, the facelift introduces flush-fitting door handles—a first for a hatchback in this segment, borrowing cues from more expensive models in Tata's portfolio like the Harrier and Safari.
2 Refreshed interior
The cabin now gets a more modern and upmarket feel, while sticking to the original layout. A new dual-tone colour scheme in beige and light grey is applied across the dashboard and seat upholstery. The most notable change is the addition of two 10.25-inch screens—one for infotainment and another as a fully digital instrument cluster. These displays are housed in what Tata calls the "Grand Prestigia" dashboard. The overall setup is reminiscent of more premium vehicles and aims to improve the user interface without overwhelming the design.
3 Updated features
Tata has equipped the Altroz facelift with a range of new and updated features across its variants. Highlights include a 360-degree camera system, blind spot monitoring, ambient lighting, a voice-assisted electric sunroof, and an integrated air purifier. The iRA connected car technology continues to be available, offering remote access and diagnostics. These features bring the Altroz closer in terms of equipment to more expensive cars, while also keeping it competitive against rivals like the Hyundai i20 and Maruti Baleno.
4 Powertrain unchanged
Although engine specifications haven't been officially confirmed yet, it is expected that Tata will continue offering the same set of powertrains: a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, a 1.2-litre turbo petrol, a 1.2-litre CNG bi-fuel variant with twin-cylinder tech, and a 1.5-litre diesel engine. The diesel unit is particularly noteworthy as the Altroz remains the only hatchback in India that still offers a diesel powertrain, catering to buyers who prioritise fuel efficiency over outright performance.

Modi govt's big decision on FDI policy; China, Pakistan, Bangladesh to be affected due to...
(File) India FDI policy: In a major decision that would significantly impact investors from nations who share a land border with India, including China, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Indian government has not made any changes or amendments to 'Press Note 3', a foreign direct investment (FDI) policy introduced in 2020. Citing sources, a PTI report said no amendments have been made to the FDI policy for countries sharing land border with India. 'After issuance of this press note, no amendment has been undertaken in the FDI policy relating to investments from countries sharing land border with India,' the report quoted a source as saying. In 2020, the Narendra Modi government had issued 'Press Note 3', a new FDI policy under which investors from these land bordering countries now require mandatory government approval to invest in any sector in India. As per sources, Press Note 3 is equally applicable to all the land bordering countries of India which are China, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Bhutan, Nepal, Myanmar and Afghanistan. All FDI proposals from these nations undergo the similar process of scrutiny and examination as per standard operating procedure for the processing of investment proposals from these nations, they said, according to the PTI report, Presently, an inter-ministerial committee headed by the Home Secretary has been tasked with considering applications under Press Note 3. As per certain reports, the government has streamlined the approval process for FDI applications from China, even as the bulk of FDI coming into India largely falls under the automatic approval route.

The 2025 Tata Altroz starts at ₹6.89 lakh while the Hyundai i20 starts at ₹7.51 lakh. Check Offers Tata Motors has refreshed its premium hatchback with the 2025 Altroz. The premium hatchback was launched in May 2025 with starting prices of ₹ 6.89 lakh to ₹ 11.49 lakh (ex-showroom, pan-India). The update positions the Altroz against key competitors in the segment, the Hyundai i20, Maruti Baleno, and Toyota Glanza. While pricing and segment placement remain comparable, the facelift provides design tweaks, more features, and a wider range of powertrain options, to help broaden the appeal of the Altroz. Let's see how the updated Altroz stacks against the i20. 2025 Tata Altroz vs Hyundai i20: Design In terms of visual changes, the overall shape of the 2025 Altroz is largely unchanged, but there have been a number of subtle changes made to the design. The flush-type door handles give the exterior a modern and sophisticated appearance, and the rear connected LED tail lamps do provide a modern touch. The car also receives an upgrade in front end lighting, with automatic LED headlights and LED fog lamps that also have a cornering function. Both of these upgrades will improve the visibility of the vehicle and the front end styling. Auto-folding outside mirrors and 16-inch dual-tone alloy wheels also help the vehicle's curbside appeal which gives it an upscale feel that allows the Altroz to compete with the more luxurious hatchbacks in the segment. 2025 Tata Altroz vs Hyundai i20: Features The 2025 Tata Altroz and Hyundai i20 are closely matched in features but differ in a few key areas.

Depending on the variant, buyers can choose from a 5-speed manual, a 5-speed AMT, or a 6-speed DCT gearbox. In comparison, the Hyundai i20 is powered solely by a 1.2-litre petrol engine. It produces 83 PS with the 5-speed manual and 88 PS with the CVT, both offering 115 Nm of torque. While the i20's setup is smooth and refined, it lacks diesel and CNG options, giving the Altroz an edge in versatility and fuel choice. 2025 Tata Altroz vs Hyundai i20: Price With a starting price of ₹ 6.89 lakh and extending up to ₹ 11.49 lakh (introductory, ex-showroom), the 2025 Altroz undercuts some competitors at the entry level while slightly exceeding others at the top end.

'Come To India, We'll Celebrate Together': SBI's Reply To Vijay Mallya On RCB's Victory Goes Viral
Last Updated: Harsh Goenka shared a purported tweet by SBI, responding to Vijay Mallya's congratulatory tweet over RCB's victory, asking him to come to India to celebrate together. The city of Bengaluru exploded in a wave of loud cheers and fireworks after the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) earned their maiden IPL title in Ahmedabad on Tuesday, putting an end to their agonising 18-year wait. As Virat Kohli and the rest of the team celebrated and the city rejoiced, fugitive businessman and RCB's former owner, Vijay Mallya, put out a congratulatory tweet for the men in red – which was immediately trolled by netizens. 'RCB are IPL Champions finally after 18 years. Superb campaign right through the 2025 tournament. A well-balanced team Playing Bold with outstanding coaching and support staff. Many congratulations! Ee sala cup named," he said on X. RCB are IPL Champions finally after 18 years. Superb campaign right through the 2025 tournament. A well balanced team Playing Bold with outstanding coaching and support staff. Many congratulations ! Ee sala cup namde !!— Vijay Mallya (@TheVijayMallya) June 3, 2025 The businessman's tweet invited hilarious response from netizens, who asked him to join the celebrations in Bengaluru and make the 'SBI's dream come true". One user wrote, 'Sir, isi khushi mein kal subah ek baar Kirti Nagar wali SBI branch aa jao 5 minute ke liye please (Sir, to celebrate this, please come to the Kirti Nagar SBI branch tomorrow morning for just 5 minutes.) 'Now at least return some money to SBI from the winning amount," another individual said. However, one tweet in particular went viral on social media – the one allegedly by the SBI itself. Businessman Harsh Goenka shared an image of SBI's response to Vijay Mallya's tweet, 'Sir, come to India. We will celebrate together." The reply immediately went viral on social media, with users saying, 'SBI got no chill" and 'Never deleting this app." That's why I like X — Harsh Goenka (@hvgoenka) June 4, 2025 However, the SBI's response was not located on Mallya's tweet. When a user asked Grok about this, it said the SBI reply appeared fabricated and no evidence of such a response existed, which was inconsistent with their communication style. Mallya is an accused in a bank loan default case of over Rs 9,000 crore from an SBI-led consortium, involving his defunct Kingfisher Airlines. In a follow-up post, Mallya reflected on his role in the team's early years and the contributions of Virat Kohli, AB DeVilliers and Chris Gayle. 'When I founded RCB it was my dream that the IPL trophy should come to Bengaluru. I had the privilege of picking the legendary King Kohli as a youngster and it is remarkable that he has stayed with RCB for 18 years." 'Finally, the IPL trophy arrives in Bengaluru. Congratulations and thanks again to all who made my dream come true. RCB fans are the very best and they deserve the IPL trophy. Ee Sala Cup Bengaluru baruthe!," he added. RCB defeated Punjab Kings in a thrilling IPL final in Ahmedabad on Tuesday to clinch its maiden IPL title, adding to the achievements of its senior leader Virat Kohli, who has stuck by the franchise since the inaugural edition in 2008.
