Tata Altroz (Creative S DCA)
The facelifted Altroz comes with a 1.2L Revotron engine paired with a 6-speed wet-clutch DCA. Unlike dry-clutch setups, this unit is engineered for better heat management in heavy traffic.
Compared to the old one the facelift also has rejigged variant names. The Creative S trim features a futuristic interior headlined by a 10.24-inch infotainment screen and a unique digital steering wheel with an illuminated logo.
Externally, the car retains its sharp, "Laser-cut" design language, characterized by 90-degree opening doors and a flat-floor rear cabin that prioritizes passenger ergonomics over typical hatchback constraints.

The Hyundai i20 N Line can be treated as an honorable mention since its entry DCT variant sits slightly above the ₹10 lakh mark at around ₹10.2 lakh ex-showroom. It features sport-oriented styling with red accents, contrast stitching inside the cabin and a dual-tip exhaust that produces a deeper note than the standard model.
Power comes from a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine (998 cc, 3-cylinder) producing 120 PS and 172 Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission
