Tata Motors Nepal has showcased its popular Micro-SUV - the Tata Punch, followed by a market launch around the festive season. The Punch sits below the Nexon sub-compact SUV in the company’s lineup and rivals the Hyundai Exter, Renault Kiger, and Nissan Magnite.

On the outside, the Punch comes with R16 diamond-cut alloy wheels, projector headlamps & LED Daytime Running Lights (DRLs), signature LED Tail Lamps, and dual-tone roof options that come in two colors- black and white. In the Indian market, the Punch is available in 4 different variants – Pure, Adventure, Accomplished and Creative, to cater to a different set of customers.

The Punch comes well-appointed with many segment-first features like a seven-inch touchscreen with iRA connectivity suite, a seven-inch TFT display for the semi-digital instrument cluster, rain-sensing wipers, automatic AC, push-button start/stop, etc.

The Tata Punch is powered by a 1.2-liter, three-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine that produces 86hp and 113Nm of torque. It can be had with either a 5-speed manual or an AMT automatic gearbox. Tata says the Punch will do 0-60kph in 6.5 seconds and 0-100kph in 16.5 seconds.

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. This results in an ARAI claimed fuel economy figure of 18.97kpl for the manual and 18.82kpl for the automatic variants.
