Tata Punch vs rivals

Tata Punch Vs Nissan Magnite Vs Renault Kiger: Specs, Features And Prices Compared

Tata Motors has finally launched the much-awaited Punch at ₹5.49 lakh and it surely seems promising! The Punch is more of a micro-SUV rather than a full-blown compact SUV and Tata has priced it accordingly as well. The primary competition from which the Punch will face major heat will be the Nissan Magnite and the Renault Kiger which also get the option of a naturally-aspirated engine like the Punch. Let’s see how the Punch fares against them:

Price

Tata Punch Nissan Magnite Renault Kiger
Naturally-aspirated Petrol Manual ₹5.49 lakh-₹8.49 lakh ₹5.71 lakh – ₹7.85 lakh ₹5.64 lakh – ₹7.91 lakh
Naturally-aspirated petrol AMT ₹6.99 lakh- ₹9.09 lakh N.A. ₹7.04 lakh – ₹8.41 lakh

The Tata Punch undercuts its rivals when it comes to the base variants however its top-end variants are pricey. Do keep in mind that the prices mentioned are without the option pack which would make the Punch even more expensive than its rivals.

As mentioned before, the Punch is smaller when compared to other compact SUVs. The Kiger and Magnite are longer and wider than the Punch. However, the Punch is taller and its wheelbase isn’t much smaller when compared to the Magnite and Kiger. The Magnite and Kiger boast a 205mm ground clearance which is much more than the Punch. However, the Punch boasts of some class-leading SUV credentials such as an approach angle of 20.3 degrees, departure angle of 37.6 degrees, a ramp over angle of 22.2 degrees, and water wading depth of up to 370mm.

The 1.2-litre 3-cylinder N.A. petrol engine of the Punch is much more powerful when compared to the naturally aspirated engine of the Kiger and the Magnite. The Kiger and Punch additionally get the option of an AMT. The Punch misses out on the option of a more powerful turbo-petrol powertrain which the Magnite and Kiger get.
