Tata Motors has confirmed that it will be unveiling the production version of the Altroz in the first week of December, followed by the launch in 2020.
Tata Altroz, the new competitor for Maruti Suzuki Baleno, Toyota Glanza, Hyundai Elite i20, Volkswagen Polo and the Honda Jazz is all set to be unveiled in December this year. The premium hatchback has already been showcased globally and we have also spotted it testing on Indian roads occasionally.
In the first week of December, the new Tata Altroz will be unveiled in the production-ready version. Followed by this, the launch is most likely to happen in the first few weeks of January next year. Tata had done a similar strategy with the Harrier as well.
So far, we have hints about its engine details, features, and some styling bits. It will be based on Tata’s new ALFA platform, which is a completely new and stronger platform. The same platform will also be used underneath the company’s upcoming micro SUV.

Tata Altroz will come with three engine options, two petrol engines and a diesel engine, all BS-6 compliant right from the start. The 1.2 Litre three-cylinder petrol unit from Tiago and the 1.2 Litre turbo-petrol unit from Nexon will be offered. The 1.5 Litre diesel engine from Nexon will be the third engine option onboard.
The unit borrowed from Tiago produces 84 BHP and that from the Nexon produces 102 BHP. Putting a turbo-petrol engine in cars ranging around 10 Lakhs is the latest fad amongst the automakers. All the engines will come mated to the manual gearbox at the time of the launch. Later, the hatchback will be offered with an automatic transmission as well.
Inside the cabin, Altroz will get its styling bits borrowed from the Nexon as well as from the Harrier. Going by the spy shots, it is likely to get a flat-bottom steering wheel, a semi-digital instrument console and the centre console similar to what you find on Harrier.
