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.
