Competition and Market Impact
The new Altroz will compete with Maruti Suzuki Baleno, Toyota Glanza, and Hyundai i20. While premium hatchback sales are declining due to the rising popularity of compact SUVs, Tata hopes this facelift will boost Altroz’s sales, which have dropped from 5,000 units a month in FY2021-22 to around 2,000 units now.
The Altroz facelift combines a stylish new design with modern features, aiming to attract more buyers in a competitive market.
