Automobile India Updates: June 2022

Tata Motors, the Indian car manufacturer, is prospering in the passenger vehicle segment. Not long ago, the Indian automobile saw several cars launched by the carmaker. Last year, in October 2021, Tata Motors introduced the Tata Punch. Since its launch, the Tata Punch has enjoyed a fair bit of success on the market. At present, the Tata Punch is available with a petrol engine. But the Tata Punch might get options like turbo-petrol, diesel, and EV spec sometime soon.

As per sources, the 2022 iteration of the Tata Punch specifications might receive both the turbo-petrol and diesel units. In addition, the Tata Punch may come with a DCA gearbox as well. Customers can expect the Tata Altroz's turbo-petrol and diesel engines in the Tata Punch. The Altroz has a 1.5-litre Revotorq diesel engine that generates 88bhp and 200Nm of torque. It may be exclusive to a manual gearbox only.

And as for the 1.2-litre turbo-petrol, the Altroz has an output of 108bhp and 140Nm of torque.

As for the dual-clutch automatic (DCA) transmission, the Tata Altroz gets that as an optional transmission. So, you can expect the same gearbox in the Tata Punch. The Punch has a standard five-speed manual and an AMT gearbox at present.

As for the current powertrain offering, the ARAI-claimed mileage of the Tata Punch is 18.97kmpl. Also, you may check out the driving experience explained by the autoX team here, Tata Punch review.

The Punch has received a positive response from users for its practicality, looks, and off-road abilities, boasting a ground clearance of 187mm. The Tata Punch's ground clearance is just 3mm lower than the Hyundai Creta's 180mm.

However, you might be confused about its off-roading abilities. Yes, it is capable. Thanks to the Traction Pro Mode feature, which is only available in the AMT variant. This feature detects the traction difference between the front wheels, which then applies the brakes to the wheel, getting less traction and sending power to the other wheel. More or less, it's like an LSD (Limited Slip Differential).

Tata Punch: Features

The micro-SUV has a long list of new-age offerings. The Tata Punch features a projector headlamp setup with LED DRLs, auto-headlights, rain-sensing wipers, a cooled glove box, powered ORVMs, etc. Apart from that, it gets a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment unit, a semi-digital driver's display, automatic climate control, and power windows, to name a few. However, features will vary from variant to variant. If you are planning to buy the top-spec Tata Punch, click on the Tata Punch review.

Compared to its direct rivals, the Tata Punch is the safest vehicle so far.

The Tata Punch is available in four trims: Pure, Adventure, Accomplished, and Creative. The Kaziranga edition is exclusive to the top trim, Creative. The Tata Punch's price starts at Rs 5.83 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) and goes up to Rs 9.49 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
