Does the lower price point of the Tata Punch give it an edge over the 2025 Altroz facelift’s overall refreshed package? Find out.

The recently launched 2025 Altroz facelift with its well-rounded package, stands out as a strong contender in the premium hatchback space. But how well does it stack up against its sibling, the Tata Punch? While the two do not belong to the same segment, their overlapping price range makes for a valid comparison. Let’s dive in and see which of these two deserves your money in this family feud.

Price

Model	2025 Tata Altroz Facelift	Tata Punch
Price (ex-showroom)	From Rs 6.89 lakh to Rs 11.49 lakh	Rs 6.20 to Rs 11.32 lakh

The pricing of the Punch undercuts the Altroz facelift by almost Rs 70,000. However, this gap narrows to Rs 17,000 when comparing their top-spec variants. Want to know what each variant of the 2025 Altroz facelift offers? Tap here.

Dimensions

Length	3990 mm (+163 mm)	3827 mm
Width	1755 mm (+13 mm)	1742 mm
Height	1523 mm (-92 mm)	1615 mm
Wheelbase	2501 mm (+46 mm)	2445 mm

Except for the height, the Altroz facelift is a larger vehicle than the Punch. It is longer by 163 mm, which results in a 46 mm longer wheelbase, offering more space than the Punch. The Altroz facelift is nominally wider than the Punch, which likely will contribute to better stability, especially while driving through corners.

In terms of features, equipment such as the infotainment system, sunroof, climate control, and wireless phone charging are shared by both models. However, the Altroz facelift goes a step further with a digital driver’s display, connected car technology, and a 360-degree camera system. Additionally, the Altroz comes standard with six airbags, while the Punch offers dual front airbags only. Both the cars have previously scored a five-star rating in the GNCAP crash tests.

Powertrain Specifications

The Altroz facelift is offered with a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine and a 1.5-litre diesel engine. The former puts out 88 PS and 115 Nm, while the diesel unit delivers 90 PS and 200 Nm. You can also configure the petrol unit with a factory-fitted CNG kit. Transmission options for the petrol include a 5-speed manual, 5-speed AMT, and a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic, whereas the diesel is paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox only.

In contrast, the Tata Punch is available only with the 88 PS/115 Nm 1.2-litre petrol engine, paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT. Like the Altroz, the Punch can also be had with a factory-fitted CNG kit.

Verdict

Although the Altroz facelift commands a premium over the Punch, it still comes across as a more complete package. This is mainly due to the added cabin space, a richer feature set, and the option of a diesel engine. However, what works in the Punch’s favour is its SUV-like form factor, which could be a deciding factor for buyers who prefer a more muscular appearance.
