Tata Altroz Dark Edition:

Now to finish off, Tata has also introduced Dark Edition of its premium hatchback – Altroz. It comes painted in what Tata Motors likes to call the "Cosmo Dark" paint finish and ill admit, it looks kind of stealthy in this shade.

Now to keep things interesting, Tata has left some of the chrome garnishes from the standard Altroz intact in this Dark Edition model. This mean that it gets a nice chrome stripping running across the snout, and there is prominent chrome trim around the grille and headlamps and additional chrome hints on the wing mirrors.

Come to the rear and theirs is prominent dark treatment done on the lights and ofcourse there’s the model lettering in all black. Dark hints on the Altroz's tail lights are more prominent, in comparison to other Dark theme cars.

While the interior of the standard Altroz gets a mix of colours and textures, the Dark Edition version gets an all-black treatment. Its seats now get ‘Dark’ inscribed on the headrests. Its dashboard's glossy grey trim has been replaced with a new gloss black trim, also the satin touches seen over the steering wheel and the center console are now all blacked-out. Rest of the layout and features remain as seen on the Altroz XZ+ and XZ+ iTurbo trims.
