Tata Punch is a micro-SUV offering from Tata Motors launched in 2021. Tata Motors has tried to carry on the same design language from its bigger SUVs like the Harrier and the Safari, along with high ground clearance to make it look like a baby Harrier.
The Punch comes with a single engine option: a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine available with a 5-speed manual or AMT transmission churning out 88 PS and 115 Nm. A CNG variant with similar power figures but with slightly low torque is also offered.
The Tata Punch price starts at around Rs 6.13 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base variant Pure and goes up to Rs 10.20 lakh (ex-showroom) for the top model.
Tata Punch faces competition from several cars, such as the Maruti Suzuki Ignis, Hyundai Exter, and Maruti Suzuki Swift.
NCAP Rating: 5 Stars
Tata Punch scored a 5-star rating in the test conducted by Global NCAP.
It scored 16.45 points out of a maximum of 17 for adult occupant protection and 40.89 points out of 49 for child occupant protection. It comes equipped with standard safety features like dual airbags, ABS with EBD, and ISOFIX child seat mounts.
Our Verdict:
The Tata Punch positions itself as a value-oriented micro-SUV. It prioritizes affordability, practicality, and safety in a compact package. It boasts a butch and muscular design with a high stance. The interior, though practical, might feel a bit basic in terms of material. The 5-star GNCAP rating is a major selling point, especially for safety-conscious buyers.
It presents a stylish and safe option in the sub-compact crossover segment, particularly attractive for city driving. However, its highway performance and AMT gearbox refinement leave something to be desired. The lack of a turbo-petrol or diesel option is a significant drawback. Potential buyers should weigh the pros against the cons before making a decision.
Reason to Buy:
-
A 366-liter boot provides practical cargo capacity.
-
Good high speed stability and driving dynamics – chassis is capable!
-
Boasts a 5-star GNCAP safety rating!
Reason Not to Buy:
-
The 1.2L NA engine lacks power for highway driving.
-
The AMT gearbox doesn’t offer smooth gear shifts.
-
The 3-cylinder engine isn’t as refined as some competitors’ 4-cylinder options.
-
No turbo-petrol or diesel engine options are available.
-
The cabin is best suited for four occupants, not five.
-
Lacks certain desirable features like auto-dimming IRVM and rear AC vents.
-
Tata’s service experiences can be inconsistent.
