2025 Tata Altroz Facelift CNG: The 2025 Tata Altroz facelift is ready to make its official debut on May 22, 2025 and the world got to see a sneak preview of what is to come, courtesy the leaked interior pictures of the CNG variant. The updated feature list in the premium hatchback launched in a segment where it’s the only diesel as well as dual-cylinder CNG car is vouched to up the benchmark.
Tata Motors has been teasing the Altroz facelift for a few weeks now, making fans wait for the first major update since the hatchback’s debut back in 2020. The leaked promotional material indicates Tata is powering its upcoming hatchback with the novel i-CNG dual-cylinder tech that has been the brand’s USP in the premium hatchback space.
CNG Dual-Cylinder Technology: Space and Safety Redefined
The 2025 Altroz facelift soldiers on with Tata Motors’ game-changing i-CNG dual-cylinder engine, which changes the way we look at CNG cars. In contrast to traditional single-cylinder configuration of CNG which looks odd one out and eats into boot space, the dual-cylinder configuration of Altroz offers decent cargo-carrying capacity albeit leaving room for more luggage with boot space if fixed just above the tank twin cans.
This clever approach doesn’t seem like an afterthought but more of an original design feature of the car. The twin-cylinder configuration is both practical and sexy, offering the best of CNG economy with none of the CNG inconvenience – as in having your cake and eating it too.
Almost all of the safety issues that are common with CNG vehicles have been resolved well. It features a fire extinguisher located underneath the driver’s seat and an automated device that runs on petrol if a leak is detected. Further safety measures include a micro switch in the fuel filler inlet that cuts off the car if anything is inserted during refueling, thermal incident protection that cuts off supply in the event of accidental fire and vents gas into the atmosphere.

Interior Upgrades: Premium Comfort and Advanced Features
Open the door of the 2025 Altroz facelift and you will be welcomed into a new, thoughtfully reimagined cabin to give a more upmarket feeling. Though the dashboard isn’t conventional by standard; all new is its simpler and more premium approach with the black and beige color combination.
Inside, there’s a number of striking upgrades, such as a wide gloss black finish on the dashboard highlighted with a slim copper finish. Tata has also thrown in its new two-spoke steering wheel with an illuminated logo and a touch-based climate control panel. The powerful, value-added audio performance is enhanced by ambient light on the dashboard – particularly at night, but even in the day.
Comfort hasn’t been neglected, either. And for the all new rear seats, extended underthigh support should offer improved comfort for those being shuttled around. Practicality still continues with the cabin, rear AC vents, rear center armrest and twin adjustable head restraints ensure a comfortable driving experience no matter where you’re positioned in the car.
Tech-Forward Features
The 2025 Altroz facelift is zooming into the digital era like a muscle car on an empty freeway, leaving a string of high end tech goodies for its segment rivals in its wake.
At the centre of this tech revolution is a segment-first full-digital 10.25-inch driver’s display which provides customisable views, and can even display maps when you are using Google Maps or Apple CarPlay. It’s joined by a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
Your favorite tunes sound as good as they should with 8-speaker Harman sound system in providing a premium audio experience. Key tech on-board also includes wireless phone charging, cruise control, auto climate control and a blind spot monitor which reflects footage from the 360-degree camera onto the digital driver’s display screen – a smart bit of kit that boosts safety when manoeuvring.
Powertrain Options with Choices for Every Need
Powering the 2025 Tata Altroz facelift would be the multiple engine options suitable for different types of driving styles and needs. The CNG versions will source their power from Tata’s 1.2-litre, three-cylinder engine, which develops 73.5hp/103Nm on gas, while the petrol-combination will yield 88hp/115Nm.
One of the highlights of the Altroz CNG is its start-stop system that is claimed to be started directly in CNG mode thereby helping in conserving precious petrol during startup. This is due to the one ECU used, rather than the two found in conventional CNG cars to date. There’s no delay either when you switch between CNG and petrol – it’s a seamless experience now with the single ECU setup.
The Altroz will remain the only hatch in the market to be available with a diesel powertrain – a 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder motor that puts out 90PS of power and 200Nm of torque. For those who find diesel distasteful, there are naturally a couple of petrol motors: a fuel sipping 1.2-litre naturally aspirated jobbie and a more powerful turbo petrol version.
Safety Credentials: Where It All Began
The Altroz has always been a safe car and the 2025 facelift carries forward this legacy with a very strong safety suite loaded to the gunwales and constructed on Tata’s ALFA Architecture.
The 2025 hatchback also targets a 5-star rating from Global NCAP. Standard inclusion includes airbags, 6 of them, & ESP with ABS & EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution).
Some safety tech includes tire pressure monitoring system, 360-degree camera, blind spot monitor and in-built ISOFIX child seat anchorages. The 5-star crash-rated Alfa-arc body shell offers structural security that ensures the driver’s peace on every route.
The 2025 Tata Altroz facelift looks to be a promising complete package that offers style, tech, comforts, and safety. With a worldwide launch due on May 22, 2025, we don’t have too long to find out whether this is the car to help Tata gain more ground in the premium hatchback segment, where it takes on the likes of the Maruti Suzuki Baleno, Hyundai i20 and Toyota Glanza.
