What’s New in the Altroz EV?
Tata’s premium hatchback is going electric – and it’s not just a badge swap. The upcoming Altroz EV, launching in 2025, will be built on the advanced Acti.EV platform, the same one that underpins the Punch EV.
That means smarter battery packaging, better ground clearance and a host of high-end features. And yes, it’s still got that bold Altroz styling – only cleaner, cooler and electrified.
Expected Power and Performance
Under the hood (or rather, the floor), the Altroz EV will have a lithium-ion battery between 25kWh to 35kWh, potentially offering up to 320 km of ARAI certified range. Some whispers even suggest a future variant with 500 km range – but that remains to be confirmed.
- Motor Output: Between 75PS to 129PS
- Torque: Up to 170Nm
- 0-100 km/h: Under 10 seconds
- Charging:
- AC (22kW): ~8 hours
- DC Fast Charging: 0-80% in ~60 minutes
Loaded Cabin, Smart Tech
The cabin promises a modern, well-equipped feel that matches the EV’s tech-forward character. Borrowing cues from the facelifted ICE Altroz, the EV will have:
- A wide floating touchscreen is expected to take center stage, offering wireless smartphone connectivity for both Android and iPhone users.
- Tata’s iRA connected car tech
- Illuminated steering logo, digital cluster
- Wireless charger, sunroof and rear AC vents
- Premium sound system and comfort oriented cabin touches
Safety Still a Top Priority
Like its ICE sibling, the Altroz EV isn’t compromising on safety. Expected safety features will include:
- 6 airbags standard
- 360-degree camera with blind-spot monitor
- TPMS, ISOFIX, ESP, auto park lock, and more
What About Price and Rivals?
Tata is expected to price the Altroz EV between ₹12.00 lakh and ₹15.00 lakh (ex-showroom). This puts it above the Tiago EV and Punch EV – aiming to offer a premium hatch experience for city EV buyers.
