A Design That Commands Attention
The Tata Punch makes a strong first impression with its confident and muscular road presence. Its design language is unapologetically robust, featuring a high bonnet line, a distinctive grille, and sleek LED daytime running lights that give the front end a modern and assertive character. The SUV persona is reinforced by squared-off wheel arches, functional roof rails, and body cladding that hints at its rugged potential. From the side and rear, the design remains clean and contemporary, with stylish taillights and available dual-tone colour options adding a touch of youthful flair. Despite its compact footprint, a generous 187 mm ground clearance ensures it looks and feels every bit a proper SUV.
Performance Tailored for Everyday Driving
The Punch comes with a 1.2-litre Revotron petrol engine, which makes 88 bhp and 115 Nm of torque under the hood. This engine is calibrated for quick city response while providing quick acceleration and the passing power needed for highway driving. There’s an engaging 5-speed manual for those who love to shift themselves or a handy 5-speed AMT (Automated Manual Transmission) that less effort in city traffic. It’s not a sports car, no, but the way it composes itself makes it a very easy and easygoing car to drive and that’s exactly who should be buying it.
A Comfortable and Confident Ride

The suspension is tuned to protect occupants from jolts and jostles, delivering a smooth ride to all passengers. The electric power steering is light around town for easy parking and maneuvering, but it firms up well at highway speeds for better control and stability.
