2025 Tata Altroz Facelift: Raising the Bar for Premium Hatchback along with Safety in India

Tata Motors has launched the facelift version of its premium hatchback Altroz and once again put safety and comfort in the spotlight. As anticipation builds for the official Bharat NCAP crash test results, early glimpses from Tata’s own crash testing footage suggest that the new Altroz is set to uphold—and possibly surpass—its predecessor’s stellar safety record. And one more Tata car is going to get 5 star saftey rating in global and bharat NCAP crash test rating.

Crash Test Insights: Built for Real-World Protection

Tata recently shared a crash test video of the updated Altroz on youtube, showcasing the car undergoing a frontal offset deformable barrier test at 64 km/h. The footage, shot from multiple angles, highlights the Altroz’s impressive ability to absorb and redirect crash energy. Notably, the A-pillar and underbody remained stable, and the cabin structure held its integrity—a testament to Tata’s focus on passenger safety.

The car’s crumple zones and reinforced firewall did their job, minimizing the force transferred to occupants. Side-impact tests, including a mobile barrier and pole test, further demonstrated the Altroz’s robust side structure, with ultra-high-strength steel playing a key role in protecting both front and rear passengers.

Diamond Safety Shield Structure and Six Airbags Standard

The 2025 Altroz facelift features Tata’s Diamond Safety Shield Structure, engineered to channel crash forces away from the passenger cell and keeping passanger safe in accident. This, combined with advanced high-strength steel and precision-joined components, ensures that the cabin remains a safe space even during severe impacts.

Safety equipment is comprehensive: six airbags are now standard across all variants, including dual front, side, and curtain airbags. Features like seatbelt pre-tensioners, load limiters, and crash-locking tongues add further layers of protection.

Feature-Rich Safety Suite

Beyond structural integrity, the Altroz facelift is packed with safety tech:

6 Airbags as Standard
Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
360-degree camera
Blind spot monitor
SOS calling function
Hill Hold Assist
Reverse parking sensors and camera
ISOFIX child seat anchorages

These features not only help prevent accidents but also offer peace of mind in daily driving scenarios. Most of these features are standrd and comes from base variants of Altroz.

Powertrain and Variants

The new Altroz is available with three engine options: a 1.2-litre petrol, a 1.5-litre diesel, and a 1.2-litre CNG with twin-cylinder technology. Transmission choices include 5-speed manual, 6-speed DCA, and a newly introduced 5-speed AMT. Car buyers can choose from five variants: Smart, Pure, Creative, Accomplished S, and Accomplished+ S, with prices starting at ₹6.89 lakh and going up to ₹11.29 lakh (ex-showroom).

A Legacy of Safety, Set to Continue

The previous generation Altroz set a benchmark by scoring a 5-star rating in Global NCAP crash tests back in 2020. With the facelift, Tata Motors appears determined to raise the bar even further along with comfort and new tech features. While the official Bharat NCAP results are still awaited, all signs point to the 2025 Altroz continuing Tata’s legacy of delivering some of the safest cars in the Indian market and growing car buyers in India.
