Tata Motors has rolled out the 1,00,000th unit of the Tata Punch sub-compact SUV from its manufacturing facility in Pune. Launched back in October 2021, the Punch achieved this feat in just 10 months. Tata Motors claims that it is the first SUV to achieve this milestone in such a short span. The Punch is the cheapest SUV offered by Tata and is priced between ₹5.93 lakh and ₹9.48 lakh.
The Tata Punch has a tall SUV stance with bold design lines all around the micro-SUV. It is based on the Alpha architecture and follows Tata’s Impact design language. It gets split DRLs and headlamps like the Harrier and the Safari and the humanity grille runs across the front of the car. To keep the SUV appeal going, it gets a large front bumper with a tri-arrow design for the air intake flanked by fog lamps on either side. The Tata Punch is loaded with features such as auto headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, push-button start with keyless entry, automatic climate control, cooled glove box, 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with smartphone compatibility, a reverse parking camera, a 7-inch semi-digital instrument cluster, iRA connected car technology, selectable drive modes, cruise control, puddle lamps, and traction pro mode.
The Punch scored an impressive 5 stars for adult occupant protection and 4 stars for child occupant protection in the Global NCAP crash test. The Tata Punch is powered by the same 1.2 L naturally aspirated Revotron petrol engine that powers the Altroz. Tuned for the Punch, the engine puts out 86 PS and 113 Nm torque. The engine can be paired to a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT gearbox.
