Hyundai Exter SX Vs Tata Punch Accomplished Plus — Which One To Buy?
In this article, we’ll compare the Hyundai Exter SX Vs Tata Punch Accomplished Plus variants to find out which one offers the best value for money over a 5-year ownership period. This is the most detailed comparison between the two cars. Here, we’ll compare the upfront ex-showroom prices, fuel costs, maintenance costs, dimensions, engine specs, and feature differences. As we have a monetary value associated with each aspect of a vehicle, in the end, you’ll not only find out which car offers a better value for money but also the magnitude of the value difference.
Note 1: In this Hyundai Exter vs Tata Punch comparison (SX and Accomplished Plus variants), each of the two cars will follow a red (Hyundai Exter) and blue (Tata Punch) colour scheme. In some cases, having a lower cost is better (e.g. fuel cost), while in other cases, having a higher cost is favourable (e.g. feature differences). Wherever the red car is at an advantage, the difference in the monetary value will be mentioned in red. When the blue car has the upper hand, in that particular cell, the difference will have a blue shade. Thus, the final result is easy for you to crosscheck by simply adding up the red and blue values to find out which one is a better option.
Note 2: This article is divided into 2 main sections — cost of ownership and upfront value. Within the total cost of ownership, we’ll compare:
- Upfront on-road price differences
- 5-year/50,000km maintenance cost
- 5-year/50,000km fuel cost
In the upfront value section, we’ll cover:
- Dimensions
- Engine and performance specifications
- Feature differences
The final verdict section will merge the values from each of the 2 main sections and present the recommendation.
Let’s start with the ownership cost section.

Hyundai Exter SX vs Tata Punch Accomplished Plus — Engine Specs Comparison
The perceived value favours the Exter because its 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine is a 4-cylinder unit, whereas the Punch has a 3-cylinder engine. The even number of cylinders makes the Exter's engine more refined. However, there is no major difference in output between the two engines, and both cars feature a 5-speed manual transmission.
Considering all these factors, according to V3Cars’ powertrain comparison tool, the Exter’s perceived value is almost Rs. 6,300 more than the Punch. To understand why the Exter’s engine has a higher perceived value and to determine whether its refinement is worth the price, we recommend taking a test drive of both cars.
