Exterior and Interior

The exterior of the Tata Altroz EV is similar to the ICE-powered Altroz. It’s going to get a new grille, redesigned aerodynamics, the absence of a rear exhaust pipe, and more color options.

The interior is also the same as ICE-powered Altroz. The main change we expect is the absence of a mechanical gearbox that will result in more space around the mid control area.

Performance of Tata Altroz EV

Top Speed	120 kph
0-100 kph	12.63 seconds
Electric Range	300-330 km

It’s also expected that the EV would accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 12.63 seconds and can reach the top speed of 120 km/h. The vehicle range and performance would be better than other same segment Electric cars because of lower weight and increased power. According to Firespeedy, the car would run 300-330 km on a single charge. Because the Altroz EV runs on the same battery as Tata Nexon EV.
