Tata Motors has expanded the Altroz lineup with the launch of the new Altroz CNG AMT in India. Priced from Rs 8.70 lakh (ex-showroom), the latest addition makes the Altroz the first premium hatchback in the country to offer a factory-fitted CNG powertrain paired with an automatic gearbox.
The introduction of the AMT option is expected to make the Altroz CNG more appealing to urban buyers who want lower running costs without compromising on convenience.
Tata Altroz CNG AMT Price List
Here is the complete variant-wise pricing for the new Altroz CNG AMT range:
| Variant | Price (Ex-showroom) |
|---|---|
| Pure | Rs 8.70 lakh |
| Pure S | Rs 9.00 lakh |
| Creative | Rs 9.57 lakh |
| Creative S | Rs 9.82 lakh |
| Accomplished S | Rs 10.77 lakh |
The AMT-equipped CNG variants command a premium over their manual counterparts but offer the convenience of clutch-free driving, especially useful in city traffic.
Engine and Gearbox Details
The Tata Altroz CNG AMT continues with the familiar 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine combined with Tata’s twin-cylinder CNG technology.
Power Output
- CNG Mode: 73.5hp and 103Nm
- Petrol Mode: 88hp and 115Nm
Transmission duties are handled by a 5-speed AMT gearbox, the same unit already seen on the petrol-powered Altroz automatic variants.
Tata’s dual-cylinder setup helps free up usable boot space compared to conventional single-cylinder CNG systems. However, luggage capacity still drops to 210 litres, compared to the standard Altroz petrol and diesel variants that offer 345 litres of boot space.
Features on Offer
One of the biggest highlights of the Altroz CNG AMT is the wide availability of the powertrain across multiple trims. Unlike some rivals that restrict CNG options to entry-level variants, Tata is offering the automatic CNG setup even in higher trims.
The top-spec Accomplished S variant comes loaded with features such as:
- LED headlamps and LED tail-lamps
- Electric sunroof
- 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system
- 7-inch digital instrument cluster
- Wireless phone charger
- Ambient lighting
- 16-inch alloy wheels
- Automatic climate control
- Rear AC vents
This makes the Altroz CNG AMT one of the most feature-rich CNG hatchbacks currently on sale in India.
Tata Altroz CNG AMT Rivals
The new Altroz CNG AMT competes with CNG-powered versions of premium hatchbacks like the Maruti Suzuki Baleno and Toyota Glanza. However, neither rival currently offers a factory-fitted automatic gearbox with a CNG option.
With this launch, Tata has carved out a unique space in the segment by combining premium features, automatic convenience and fuel efficiency in one package.
Final Thoughts
The launch of the Tata Altroz CNG AMT strengthens Tata Motors’ position in the growing CNG passenger vehicle market. Buyers looking for a premium hatchback with low running costs and automatic convenience now finally have a unique option in the segment.
With its feature-loaded cabin, practical dual-cylinder technology and first-in-segment CNG automatic setup, the Altroz CNG AMT could become a strong choice for daily commuters and city users alike.
