There are six major variants of the ATR 42. ATR 42200 The 200 was the original ATR 42 prototype and only a few were built for testing purposes. It was powered by Pratt & Whitney Canada PW120 engines rated at 1,800 SHP. ATR 42300 The 300 was the standard production version. This model was manufactured until 1996. It was powered by Pratt & Whitney Canada PW120 engines rated at 2,000 SHP. ATR 42320 The 320 was an improved version of the 300 powered by PW121 engines 2100 SHP. It was designed to have better performance especially in hot and high conditions. ATR 42400 The 400 is the official name for the passenger version of the ATR 42 "Surveyor". The 400 is an upgraded version of the 320 using sixbladed propellers on otherwise identical PW121 engines.

ATR 42500 ATR 42-500 is current production version , first delivery was in October 1995. It is a completely new design with many new improvements for performance and passenger comfort. It has new engines, new propellers, a newly designed cabin and increased weight capacity. It has six-bladed propellers turned by PW127E engines rated at 2,400 SHP for improved hot and high performance and greatly increased cruise speed. Propellers are completely electrically controlled and are made from composite material. It also has an increased maximum takeoff weight, allowing for more cargo and greater range. Due to the six-bladed propellers and better insulation, it has a much reduced noise level inside the cabin with new "elegance" style cabin. The newest version have CATII capability.

ATR 42600
On Tuesday 2 October 2007, ATR CEO Stphane Mayer announced the launch of the new 600 series aircraft at a press conference held in Washington, D.C. The new ATR 42600 and ATR 72600 will feature the latest technological enhancements while building upon the well-known advantages of the current aircraft, namely its high efficiency, proven dispatch reliability, low fuel burn and operating cost. It will include the new PW127M as standard engine (new engines provide 5% additional thermodynamic power at takeoff, thus improving performance on short runways, in hot weather and on high altitude; the incorporation of the boost function enables use of this additional power as needed, only when called for by the takeoff conditions), Glass Cockpit flight deck featuring five wide LCD screens that will replace the current EFIS (Electronic Flight Instrument System). In addition, a Multi-Purpose Computer (MPC) will further enhance flight safety and operational capabilities. The new avionics, to be supplied by Thales, will also provide CAT III capabilities. It will also include the new lighter and more comfortable seats and larger overhead baggage bins. The 600 series ATR aircraft will be progressively introduced during the second half of 2010. Using a temporary test registration, the prototype ATR 42 600 first flew on 4 March 2010.
