The Tata Punch has crossed the 3 lakh unit production milestone. Launched in October 2021, it was the first entrant in the small SUV segment. Here are some of the features and highlights of the Tata Punch that have made it a popular choice among Indian car buyers:

Tata Punch Achieves 3 Lakh Unit Production Milestone

The Tata Punch was launched in October 2021 at an introductory price of Rs. 5.49 lakh (ex-showroom)
In the same month, the Punch secured a 5-star Global NCAP crash test rating, scoring 16.49 out of 17 for adult occupant protection
The Tata Punch offered features such as a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, cruise control, automatic climate control and dual front airbags right from launch
It achieved the 1 lakh sales milestone in August 2022 while the 2 lakh sales milestone was achieved in May 2023
The Tata Punch was launched with a 1.2L normal petrol engine that produces 88PS of power and 115Nm of torque. Transmission options include a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed AMT
Tata Punch CNG made its debut at the Auto Expo 2023 with its innovative twin cylinder technology that freed up boot space, otherwise occupied by a single, large cylinder, for luggage
The Tata Punch CNG has an output of 74PS and 103Nm. It is only available with a 5-speed manual transmission.
The small SUV is currently offered in 4 variants - Pure, Adventure, Accomplished, and Creative. Tata Punch prices currently range from Rs. 6.0 lakh to Rs. 10.10 lakh (ex-showroom).

Tata Punch EV Incoming

Tata Motors are putting the Punch EV through its paces ahead of its market introduction this year. While some reports claim the Tata Punch EV will go on sale in late-January, others say it could arrive in June. For now, all we know is that the Punch EV will offer an evolved design over the Punch petrol and CNG. The new Punch design refresh is likely to be along the lines of the Nexon EV facelift, which was launched in September 2023.

We expect the Tata Punch EV to offer new features like a larger 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, steering wheel with illuminated logo, touch-based climate control, and more. Tata could even offer Punch EV with ADAS for enhanced safety. The refreshed design and new features will eventually find their way over to the Punch petrol and CNG variants as well.
