Tata Altroz EV Update: What to Expect From the 2025 Launch

If you’ve been waiting patiently for the Tata Altroz EV to hit the roads, the good news is – it’s still alive and kicking in Tata’s EV plans. We haven’t seen it in showrooms yet but recent reports suggest it’s very much in development and a 2025 launch is looking more and more likely.

This electric version of the popular Altroz hatchback will be Tata’s next big step in offering a premium electric hatch after the Tiago, Tigor and Punch EVs.

Design That Doesn’t Compromise

Expect the Altroz EV to carry forward the familiar sharp design of the ICE version but with EV specific touches like blue accents and a closed-off grille. It’ll run on Tata’s Acti.EV platform which has already proven itself on the Punch EV. This updated platform has fixed the previous concerns about battery fitment and ground clearance – likely set at 145 mm giving it a better stance on Indian roads.

What’s Under the Hood?

Official numbers aren’t out yet but the Altroz EV will likely have two battery options ranging from 25kWh to 35kWh like the Punch EV. The expected range is around 306 to 320 km (ARAI), some reports even hint at up to 500 km we’ll believe it when we see it.

Power output could be anywhere from 75PS to 129PS with 170Nm of torque – enough for zippy acceleration in city traffic. And yes it should do 0-100 km/h in under 10 seconds if early performance estimates hold up.

Features You’d Actually Use

Inside the Altroz EV will be modern and well equipped. Highlights include:

• 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen
• Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• New two-spoke steering with an illuminated logo
• Digital instrument cluster
• Single-pane sunroof
• Premium sound system (4 speakers + 4 tweeters)
• Wireless charging & rear AC vents

Blue themed interiors that match its electric soul.

Safety Where It Matters

Following the strong safety legacy of the regular Altroz, the EV version will come loaded with:

• 6 airbags
• ABS with EBD, ESP
• 360-degree camera
• Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
• Auto park lock and SOS function

It won’t compromise on safety.

Price and Launch

The Altroz EV is expected to land in the ₹12 to ₹15 lakh range (ex-showroom), placing it firmly among premium electric hatchbacks in India. We don’t have a exact date but the 2025 Auto Expo might be when we see it fully.

Why Is It Taking So Long?

Tata’s EV strategy is focused on SUVs like the Curvv, Harrier and Sierra EVs so the Altroz EV took a backseat. But this pause seems strategic – they’re optimizing the hatch for battery fitment and day to day use. And with India’s growing EV demand, timing it right could be the key.
