Safety:
The Punch has also become the latest recipient of the 5-star rating from Global NCAP. It comes with dual airbags, ABS with EBD and corner safety control, and child seat ISOFIX anchor points. The Punch also gets a new feature called ‘Brake Sway Control’, which detects the tendency of instability during abrupt braking before the ABS kicks in to avoid vehicle swaying from the driving path.
Engine & Transmission:
The Tata Punch is powered by a 1.2-liter, three-cylinder, naturally aspirated petrol engine, that makes 86 hp and 113 Nm of torque. It can be had with either a 5-speed manual or an AMT automatic gearbox. While this engine already does duty on the Tiago, Tigor, and Altroz, in the Punch, it additionally features an automatic engine start/stop functionality to aid fuel efficiency. The Punch also offers two engine drive modes (Eco and City) to meet individual driving needs.
This results in an ARAI claimed fuel economy figure of 18.97kpl for the manual and 18.82kpl for the automatic variants. The AMT gearbox on the Punch also features traction modes like some bigger Tata SUVs. Tata Motors says the Punch will do 0-60kph in 6.5 seconds and 0-100kph in 16.5 seconds.
Rivals:
The Tata Punch rivals the likes of Suzuki Ignis, Renault Kiger, Nissan Magnite, and the upcoming Citroen C3.
