The Tata Punch is a compact yet bold micro SUV from Tata Motors that has quickly become a favorite among Indian buyers looking for an affordable SUV-like experience in a small package. Built on the ALFA platform shared with Altroz, the Punch blends the toughness of an SUV with the agility of a hatchback, making it perfect for Indian cities and semi-urban regions.
Muscular Design With SUV Stance and Youth Appeal
With its upright bonnet, split headlamp setup, signature tri-arrow grille, and wide bumpers, the Punch looks like a mini Harrier. It offers 187mm ground clearance, 16-inch alloy wheels, and black body cladding that enhances its rugged character. Available in dual-tone color options and creative personas like Pure, Adventure, Accomplished, and Creative, it caters to both family users and young buyers.
Efficient Petrol and New CNG Engine Options
The Punch is powered by a 1.2L Revotron petrol engine producing 88 PS and 115 Nm, available with both 5-speed manual and AMT gearboxes. The newly launched Punch CNG uses Tata’s twin-cylinder CNG tech, giving you a claimed mileage of 26.99 km/kg without compromising boot space. The petrol variant offers around 20.09 km/l, making it a practical daily driver.
Feature-Packed Cabin With Segment-First Additions
Inside, the Punch surprises with a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, semi-digital instrument cluster, auto climate control, engine start-stop, and connected car tech in higher trims. The cabin feels spacious with a flat rear floor, 319L boot, and good headroom even for taller passengers, giving it a big car feel in a small footprint.
5-Star Global NCAP Safety and Strong Build Quality
Safety is where the Punch punches above its weight. It has received a 5-star rating from Global NCAP, thanks to its high-strength steel structure, dual airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, and ISOFIX child seat mounts. Tata’s proven build quality makes it one of the safest cars under ₹10 lakh in India.
Price and Variants to Suit Every Budget
The Tata Punch is available in multiple variants starting from around ₹6 lakh to ₹10.20 lakh (ex-showroom). Buyers can pick between petrol manual, petrol AMT, and CNG options based on their usage needs. Tata also offers customization packs like Rhythm, Dazzle, and IRA for tech upgrades and style enhancements.
Conclusion: The Tata Punch is India’s most value-packed micro SUV, offering bold looks, practical features, solid safety, and fuel-efficient powertrains. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or someone upgrading from a hatchback, the Punch delivers the SUV feel without the SUV price tag.
