Tata Punch (2021-2026) Pros & Cons

The Tata Punch offers the styling of an SUV combined with the practicality of a hatchback. 

It borrows multiple design cues from the Harrier, such as the split headlight design and also offers body cladding and skid plates that uplift its SUV appeal. In addition to that, the Punch offers 187mm of ground clearance, which is more than the Maruti Suzuki Ignis and Citroen C3. The Punch also offers a boot space of 319 litres and respectable fuel efficiency as well.

The Tata Punch comes with a long list of must-have and feel-good features. These features include an LCD instrument cluster with an analog speedometer, projector headlamps, keyless entry, auto AC, cruise control, cooled glove box, automatic headlights, electric sunroof, tyre pressure monitoring system, individual front seat armrests, and rain-sensing wipers.

The Tata Punch is currently the only car in its segment to be tested by the Global NCAP. As per the earlier testing protocol, the Punch was awarded more points than the Tata Nexon, Altroz and even the Mahindra XUV300. It scored 5 stars in adult occupant safety and 4 stars in child occupant safety.

As the Punch shares its platform with the Altroz, it also benefits from 90-degree wide opening front and rear doors. The wide opening doors aid in easy ingress and egress.

Since the Tata Punch makes use of Tata’s innovative twin CNG-cylinder technology, it offers 210L boot space with the CNG powertrain. It not only offers the class-leading boot space among its CNG rivals but also a lot more practical storage space to store larger items.

Sunroof is a very sought after feature but it isn’t useful in practical scenarios. Hence, a good set of buyers tend to avoid this feature and the Punch lets you select the top-end Creative variant without the sunroof.
