Shortly after Tata Motors introduced the Altroz CNG with a single-pane electric sunroof, the carmaker has now made the said feature available on the rest of the Altroz line-up as well. This makes the Altroz the second hatchback in its segment after the Hyundai i20 to get a sunroof. With prices starting from ₹7.90 lakh (ex-showroom) for the sunroof-equipped variants, the Altroz is currently the most affordable car in the country to come with one.
Tata has introduced the sunroof on the Altroz from the mid-spec XM+ trim, and it is available in a total of 16 variants across the petrol, turbo-petrol, diesel and CNG powertrains. Depending on the variant you choose, the sunroof-equipped ones are pricier by up to ₹45,000 over the regular ones.
In contrast, Hyundai only offers a sunroof on the i20 on the higher-spec Asta and Asta(O) trims, prices of which start from ₹9.03 lakh (ex-showroom). While this makes the Altroz the most affordable model with a sunroof in the market currently, the title could be short lived. Hyundai’s upcoming Exter micro-SUV will also come with a single-pane sunroof in its higher trims, and given the Exter’s positioning, it could just take away the honour upon launch.
