Tata Punch Expert Review
Looks
The Punch is immediately recognisable as a Tata. Like spotting one of the Kapoors of Bollywood, you get flashes that remind you of others within the family. The face has a strong connection to the Harrier, especially because of the LED DRLs and headlamp layout. The gloss black grille with tri-arrow cutouts for the horn remind us of the Nexon.
The Punch looks chunky too, as these elements are worn on a face that feels appropriately boxy and upright thanks to the stubby nose, flat hood and upright A-pillars. It is sizable too; almost as long as the Swift, with a wheelbase that’s smaller by just a few millimeters, and an overall height that is more than the Nexon! The Maruti Ignis and the Mahindra KUV100 can expect to be stared down by the Punch, hard.

*in mm
This SUV positioning is further underlined with cornering fog lamps to accompany the projector headlamps, ready-to-bash-through-shrubs plastics for the front and rear bumpers, and chunky body cladding down the sides. At the rear, handsome tail lamps stretch onto the quarter panel and the LED elements give them a premium look. It is from the rear three-quarters angle that the Punch’s stance doesn’t quite seem to flow as the square front flows into the tapered rear. But you’ll be able to look past it fairly quickly.
Space & Practicality
The Punch’s potency is evident even when you start examining it from the wrong end. Its claimed 366 litres of luggage space is generous, especially since the boot is large and rectangular and will take in large suitcases too. However, the high boot lip will require a bit of effort for loading heavy bags and the lack of a 60:40 split second row cuts down on flexibility when it comes to storing more, or larger, pieces of luggage. Interestingly, a full size spare wheel sits under the boot floor. Tata is also providing a puncture repair kit to cut down the hassle.
Getting into the second row is no hassle either as the doors open 90 degrees and the high roofline makes it easy to step in without crouching. Once sat, the welcoming nature of the backseat is obvious. There is lots of room even for six-footers, and the seats, although a bit soft, are supportive too. The large glass area and the low window line makes the cabin feel airy and apt for long journeys.
While the flat floor adds to the flexibility, it won't really help in sitting three abreast because of the space constraint. Also, there is no headrest for the middle occupant and the seatbelt is a lap belt as well. In terms of equipment the rear occupants get an armrest, but cupholders and power sockets are shared as they are placed on the console between the front seats.
The driver’s seat gets height adjustment only in the top two variants; however, it provides a wide range of adjustment to accommodate both short and tall passengers. Tilt adjustment steering is standard to help you find the right seating position, but the slightly offset steering wheel is something that you will need to get used to.
Interiors
Take a moment when you get in the front seats of the Punch. Look around and feel the different plastics, then you’ll know that this Tata has nailed the details not just in design and practicality, but also the feel-good factor. The tri-arrow motif fades away from the left to the right on the white crashpad on the dash. Beautiful! The textures used on the upper portion of the dash are handsome too. The controls feel great to use - the hazard switch is well damped, as are the aircon vents and the stalks! It’s the sense of enduring quality you can only feel.
The Punch isn't shouty by nature, using leatherette trim sparingly - on the steering wheel and the gear knob only. The seats make do with fabric covers, albeit with a youthful pattern. The driver’s instrument cluster gets a 7” digital display and an analogue speedo, a unit we have seen on the Altroz too. It packs familiar screens, like power and torque readouts or the trip readings. The touchscreen for the infotainment doesn't feel very avant garde either; at 7” it’s a touch small and the resolution doesn’t look rich either. On the upside the Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity worked smoothly and the four-speaker, two-tweeter combination for the sound system provided a full and clear sound experience.
Features
The variants are named as Pure, Adventure, Accomplished and Creative, keeping the buyers’ personas in mind. The cooler part is the add-on packs that make every variant quite potent. The Rhythm Pack adds a four-speaker music system to the base Pure variant; whereas the Adventure adds the 7” infotainment system, two tweeters and a reversing camera. The Dazzle pack for the Accomplished variant brings 16” diamond-cut alloys, LED DRLs,
projector headlamps and a blacked out A-pillar to give it the bling look. The top spec Creative variant gets the iRA connected car system too as an iRA Pack.
But the top spec variant has some handy features like rain sensing wipers, auto headlamps, rear wash and wiper, auto-folding ORVMs and a cooled glovebox too which make it worth reaching out for.
In terms of safety equipment the Tata packs dual airbags, ABS with EBD and cornering safety control, and an added feature to keep the Punch stable while braking, as standard. Of course there’s reverse parking sensors, and ISOFIX anchor points for child seats.
Engines & Performance
The Punch’s naturally aspirated 1.2 litre three-cylinder petrol engine looked set to be the chink in this Tata’s armour, because when we sampled in the Tata Altroz the engine’s lack of refinement and inconsistent power delivery made it rather disappointing.

In terms of numbers, the 86Ps of power and 113Nm of torque is unchanged from the Altroz, but driving the Punch turned out to be very different. Smooth feeling and reasonably responsive too, and that’s with only updates to the software. Air flow to the engine has been improved as the higher hood height allows for the air intake to be positioned higher and closer to the engine, which along with shorter gearing improves responsiveness. Keep in mind, the Punch weighs about the same as the Altroz.

But performance isn’t exactly punchy; it is adequate for a calm city commuter, and will cruise comfortably at triple digit speeds too. However, a change of pace will require patience or effort. For weekend trips, when climbing up to a hill station the need for more punch will be felt. The more powerful turbocharged version that was introduced later in the Altroz hasn’t been introduced in the Punch yet. If we were to recommend a variant of the Punch it would be the AMT. While it is slower in terms of acceleration, the shifts are unhurried and smooth, cutting the hassle while commuting by making the most of the drivability that the engine has to offer. On the highway you will prefer manual control when you need to pick up the pace.

Ride Quality
Sitting in the Punch you do get the sense of sitting higher up than hatches, and the large glass area gives you a good view out of the cabin too. As expected of an urban SUV the Punch doesn’t feel unruly or unmanageable. All the controls like steering, clutch, brake and gearshifts are smooth and well weighted, making it feel reassuring and easy to drive. The suspension tackles poor road surfaces such that it is hard to fault. Body roll is well controlled and it feels composed at high speeds, which bodes well for longer journeys in the Punch.
Tata even shared figures like approach, departure and ramp-over angles (20.3, 37.6 and 22.2 degrees, respectively), which we could test on a track. Its 370mm of wading depth and 190mm of ground clearance (unaden, 165mm fully loaded) were also challenged here. The Traction Pro mode, which requires the driver to press the brake and accelerator when prompted, works like an electronic differential lock by transferring the torque from a spinning wheel to the one with traction, thus pulling through slippery conditions. The track, although designed for the Punch, did help instil a sense of confidence in its abilities.
Verdict
So the Punch is a small package with a lot of substance that makes it good for everyday use with the space and ruggedness of an SUV. This sub-compact SUV’s premium cabin experience gives it added appeal too.
The engine, although adequate for commuting and making your way calmly, is the one aspect of this Tata that doesn't quite live up to its name.
The Punch was priced post this review between Rs 5.49 lakh - Rs 9.09lakh. It also received a 5-Star Global NCAP safety rating.

This Is An Amazing Car
I've been driving the Tata Punch for over a year now, and it offers superb drive quality. The service provided by Tata Motors JD Autonation in my city, Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh, is also outstanding. Potholes are no cause for concern when you're behind the wheel of the Tata Punch. It provides city mileage ranging from 12 to 14 and highway mileage between 18 to 20, despite having covered a distance of 5500 kilometres.

4.3Really Amazing Car
While the Tata Punch is marketed as a 5-seater, its classification as a compact SUV is evident from various aspects, including its exterior design, rugged appearance, generous ground clearance, spacious cabin, and capacious boot. Surprisingly, it can be conveniently parked in the space typically required for a hatchback. Having personally driven this vehicle for around a thousand kilometres, I can confidently assert that the driving experience is truly remarkable. The gear shifting, clutch operation, braking, and accelerator response are all more than satisfactory. The driver's seating position imparts a genuine SUV feel, and the visibility from the front and sides is more than adequate, whether for parking, navigating corners, or handling stop-and-go traffic. The combination of substantial ground clearance and robust suspensions instils confidence when traversing rough terrain and tackling irregular speed bumps. Achieving over 20 kmpl on the highway is effortlessly attainable. Furthermore, the car comes equipped with two airbags, along with a comprehensive array of basic safety features even in the base model. The cost of maintenance and servicing appears to be quite reasonable. If you're in search of a secure, budget-friendly family car with SUV-like characteristics, the Tata Punch is an excellent choice.

my reliable companion
The Tata Punch has been my reliable companion on the streets of Ahmedabad. Manoeuvring through the bustling markets of Manek Chowk was a breeze, and the compact size made parking near Sabarmati Ashram hassle-free. The punchy engine surprised me during drives to Adalaj Stepwell, and the modern design turned heads on the drive along the Sabarmati Riverfront. Whether it's exploring historical sites or enjoying city escapades, the Tata Punch is a lively and practical choice for Ahmedabad residents.

money and practical car.
I bought Tata Punch few months back, a small SUV that looks cool and stylish. It has a lot of spacе. It is also vеry safе and has a 5-star rating from NCAP. It has a pеtrol еnginе that givеs good powеr and milеagе. Punch has many fеaturеs likе touchscrееn, sunroof, LED lights and parking camеra. It also has a high ground clеarancе and a strong body. It can handlе rough roads and city traffic. It is affordable and available with good colour options. I think Punch is a fun, total value for money and practical car.

This model has the capacity to deliver a hustler performance, which is why I respect it. I like the Tata Punch since it's a sturdy machine and an important bone . It's the stylish vehicle for navigating any terrain because to the top- notch safety features and slice- edge technology it offers. My respect for The Punch's emotional gift of space and comfort is unwavering. With this little SUV, Tata has really released the hustler, and I enjoy it for the thrilling driving it provides!

- Both cars are good in their own forte. The Maruti Suzuki Brezza maintenance the strong fundamentals of space, practicality, and comfort but now gets a stronger tech package, more safety features, and a better automatic transmission. But, it should’ve offered superior interior quality and more exciting drive options. On the other hand, Tata Punch is good for city commutes but out on the highway, it lacks outright power which stops it from being versatile. Other than that it is hard to flaw this impressive car. It is spacious and comfortable, it is pretty well loaded and thanks to the option packs, even the lower variants can be customized to your requirements. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your city accordingly for dealership details.
