At the Auto Expo 2023, Tata showcased the Altroz CNG and one of its feature highlights was a sunroof, which has been confirmed on the market-ready model by a recent teaser.

When Can We Expect It?

The Altroz CNG is expected to launch soon and is available in four trims: XE, XM+, XZ and XZ+ S, with the sunroof being offered on the top-spec XZ+ S trim. Tata should add a sunroof to the feature list of the corresponding petrol and diesel variants in the following month or two. With the addition of a sunroof, Altroz will become the second model in its segment to have this feature, and the first one in the segment to offer it with CNG variants.
