All of these trims are now available with ESP as the standard feature. Dual front airbags, impact sensing door unlock, rear parking sensors, brake sway control, and ISOFIX child seat mounts are other safety features that are offered as standard on the Altroz. Other than that, there are no other changes on the Altroz.

The XM, XM+, and XZ+ variants are also available with an electric sunroof. Other features on the Tata Altroz include a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a voice-controlled electric sunroof, leatherette seats, cruise control, automatic headlamps and more. The CNG model has a gas leak detection feature and a micro switch to ensure the car is switched off while it is being refuelled.

Tata Altroz is available in four powertrain options. The 1.2-litre NA petrol engine produces a maximum power output of 87hp and 115Nm of torque. The 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine puts out 108hp and 140Nm. The 1.5-litre diesel engine produces 89hp and 200Nm. Lastly, the CNG engine puts out 73hp and 103Nm.
