Tata Altroz: Tata Motors has further strengthened its reputation for building safe cars in India. The recently launched facelifted Tata Altroz has achieved a full 5-star safety rating under the Bharat NCAP crash tests, making it one of the safest premium hatchbacks on sale today. Along with a refreshed design and updated features, the Altroz now also comes with six airbags as standard across all trims.
Tata Altroz Safety Features
Tata Motors has equipped the Altroz facelift with an extensive list of safety features, many of which are now standard across all variants:
- Six airbags
- ABS with EBD
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
- Hill-hold assist
- ISOFIX child-seat anchorages
- Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
- Rear parking sensors
- 360-degree camera
- Pedestrian protection compliance
This combination of active and passive safety systems makes the Altroz one of the most secure hatchbacks in the Indian market.

- Updated front grille with chrome accents
- Sharper LED DRLs and projector headlamps

Why the Tata Altroz Stands Out
- First premium hatchback in India to score a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating across all fuel types – petrol, diesel, and CNG.
- Offers top-tier safety without requiring customers to step up to a larger or more expensive vehicle segment.
- Balances performance, safety, and practicality – a strong alternative to rivals like the Maruti Baleno and Hyundai i20.
- Backed by Tata Motors’ reputation for building structurally strong cars with consistent safety performance across lineups.
Price and Variants
- Starting Price: ₹6.89 lakh (ex-showroom)
- Top Variant Price: ₹11.29 lakh (ex-showroom)
- Available across multiple trims: Smart, Pure, Pure S, Creative, Creative S, Accomplished S, and Accomplished+ S.
Bharat NCAP Crash Test Results
The Tata Altroz facelift excelled in both adult occupant protection (AOP) and child occupant protection (COP) categories.
- Adult Occupant Protection (AOP): 29.65 / 32 points
- Frontal Offset Deformable Barrier Test: 15.55 / 16 points
- Side Movable Deformable Barrier Test: 14.11 / 16 points
- Side Pole Impact Test: Rated “Good” for all body parts
- Child Occupant Protection (COP): 44.90 / 49 points
- Dynamic Score: 23.90 / 24 points
- CRS Installation Score: 12 / 12 points
- Vehicle Assessment Score: 9 / 13 points
These results confirm that the Altroz facelift not only protects adult occupants effectively but also ensures one of the highest levels of child safety in its segment.
Final Verdict
The Tata Altroz has once again proven why it stands out as one of the safest premium hatchbacks in India. With a 5-star Bharat NCAP safety rating for both adult and child occupants, it not only outperforms rivals like the Maruti Baleno but also sets a new safety benchmark in its segment. The strong structural integrity, excellent child occupant protection, and standard six airbags across all variants make it a family-friendly, future-ready hatchback.
