The Altroz will be the first vehicle from Tata Motors to get a Voice BoT, which is a personalised, interactive voice experience for the Tata Altroz, using the Google Assistant.

All a user needs is a phone that has a Google Assistant - and say 'Ok Google, Talk to Tata Altroz' to activate the experience by asking any question about the car. The voice assistant can also be paired with the Altroz via Android Auto or Apple Car Play; delivering a fully voice enabled discovery of the car.
