  • 1.2L Petrol (88PS/115Nm): 5MT (19.33kmpl ARAI), 6DCT/AMT options. Peppy for city, refined highway.

  • 1.2L CNG (same tune): Factory-fit, 26km/kg, ideal for fuel savers.

  • 1.5L Diesel (90PS/200Nm): 5MT (23kmpl), torque-rich for overtakes.

  • 1.2L Turbo Petrol (110PS/140Nm): 5MT/6DCT (upcoming), sporty fun.

Real-world: Petrol 16-18kmpl city, diesel 20kmpl mixed. Light steering and firm ride suit Indian roads; NVH improved post-facelift.v3cars+1

Pricing and Variants

Ex-showroom starts at ₹6.30 lakh, tops ₹10.51 lakh (Accomplished Plus S DCT). Ahmedabad on-road: ₹7-12 lakh.

Unmatched Safety

First Indian hatch with 5-star Bharat NCAP (adult/child). Standard 6 airbags, ABS+EBD, ESP, hill-hold, TPMS, ISOFIX across all. Top trims add blind-spot monitor, rear cross-traffic alert, and disc brakes all-round. Cohesive structure absorbs crashes well—no deformation intruding cabin.v3cars+1

Driving Dynamics Review

On Ahmedabad's NH47, the Altroz feels planted—precise handling from independent rear suspension outshines Baleno's torsion beam. Diesel pulls strong from 1500rpm; turbo variant (if specced) promises 0-100kmph in 10s. City ride absorbs potholes decently, though rear stiff for heavy loads. Quiet cabin, minimal wind noise at 120kmph. Fuel efficiency beats rivals in real tests.[autocarindia]​

Pros:

  • 5-star safety standard.

  • Feature-loaded top trims.

  • Versatile engines (only diesel hatch).

  • Spacious, premium cabin.

Cons:

  • Base variants basic.

  • AMT gearbox jerky.

  • No hybrid yet.

  • Waiting: 1-3 months.
