Tata Motors have updated their 2 popular nameplates — Punch B1-segment SUV and Altroz B2-segment hatchback — with BS6 phase-2 compliant and E20 fuel-ready powertrains. Both cars now also offer better performance and new features.

Tata Punch, Altroz Get BS6-2 Compliant Engines

The 1.2L normal petrol engine of the Punch and Altroz and 1.2L turbo petrol engine in the Altroz are now BS6 phase-2 compliant. Furthermore, both engines now also comply with the upcoming E20 fuel, which incorporates 20% ethanol blended with petrol. Tata Motors also revealed that they have improved the low-end performance of the Punch and Altroz and it will result in a smoother driving experience in the lower gears.

While the Punch remains a petrol-only offering, the Altroz continues to come with a 1.5L turbo diesel engine. The updated engine now complies with the BS6 phase-2 and road driving emission (RDE) standards.

Punch, Altroz Now Get Idle Start/Stop

With the update, both the Punch and Altroz now offer idle engine start/stop as standard. This feature cuts off the engine when you are standing still and turns it on again when you press the clutch/brake. It not only enhances the fuel efficiency but also reduces emissions.
