The Tata Altroz recently completed three years in the Indian market. The hatchback first made its entry into the Indian market in January 2020. Now as per reports, since its launch in end-December 2022, the Altroz has sold 1,76,596 units in three years.
Currently available the hatchback is available in as many as 31 variants. Engine options include 1.2 petrol, 1.2 turbo petrol and 1.5 diesel engines. In fact, the Altroz achieved the 50,000-unit sales milestone within the first year of launch. Then, after 10 months, i.e. in September 2021, the 1,00,000th unit of the Altroz rolled out from Tata Motors’ plantin Pune.
The Altroz sold a total of 60,379 units in FY2021, followed by 62,247 units in FY2022. In the current fiscal, the Altroz will sell around 45,512 units between April-December 2022. This is with three months left to close FY2023. This sales figure translates to an average monthly sale of 5,056 units.
With multiple powertrain options and a 5-star Global NCAP rating, the Altroz has sustained significant demand in the market. However, when compared to its chief rivals, it’s still behind the i20 and Baleno. Currently, prices for the Altroz fall in the range of INR 6.35 lakh to INR 10.25 lakh (ex-showroom).
Early last year, Tata gave up the much anticipated automatic gearbox option on the Altroz line-up with a new DCT. At the Auto Expo this year, Tata showcased a new iCNG version of the Altroz, which we believe will arrive later this year.
With this, the Altroz will then go on to have the widest powertrain range in the premium hatchback segment, with petrol, diesel and CNG fuel options.
Tata Motors also showcased a host of new feature upgrades for the Altroz at the Auto Expo with a sporty Racer version. The most notable ones are a slick new 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster, ventilated front seats, six airbags, a sunroof, a wireless charger and an air purifier as standard.
