Exterior-wise, the Tata Altroz Electric carries forward the full design package of the premium hatchback with some minor tweaks. Based on the same ALFA Arc platform as its fossil-fuel-powered counterpart, Tata Altroz electric remains split LED tail light setting linked by a piano plastic. However, there are slight changes on the front end and the side profile. For example, the front doesn’t carry any vent for air ventilation and the side now comes with a new set of alloy wheels.

Tata Altroz EV retains the same dashboard design from its internal combustion counterpart, except for the new blue inserts around air vents and the central console. The highlights on the inside include a 7-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple Carplay along with other connectivity technology, Harman audio system, ambient lighting system, and cruise control. On the safety front, the features include dual airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors with camera, high-speed alert, and seat belt warning for driver and co-driver. The most noticeable change is the replacement of gearshift for a new rotary control for selecting driving modes on the armrest.
