Inside, the Altroz blends elegance and tech: a semi‑digital 7‑inch driver display (upgraded to 10.25‑inch digital in the recent facelift), USB‑C ports, ambient lighting, cooled glovebox, and rear AC vents. Higher variants add push‑button start, cruise control, auto‑climate, a panoramic sunroof (facelift models), power‑fold mirrors, and even optional leatherette trim and 360° camera .

Handling is taut and stable, with responsive steering and ride comfort praised in reviews .
Safety remains a strong suit: dual or six airbags across trims, ABS‑EBD, ISOFIX mounts, ESP, tyre‑pressure monitoring, parking sensors, and a solid crash structure
Boot capacity is best‑in‑class at 345 L, expanding to 665 L with the rear seats folded . The facelift also added enhanced storage, refined materials, and a touchscreen that supports wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay.
the Tata Altroz delivers eye‑catching style, segment‑leading safety, engaging dynamics, and a rich tech suite—especially in its facelifted avatar—making it a compelling choice for those seeking a refined, spacious, and feature-loaded premium hatchback.
