Tata Punch 2025 : Tata Motors has reintroduced the Tata Punch, a compact SUV that continues to impress with its bold styling, modern features, and impressive fuel efficiency. Designed for urban commuters and adventure seekers alike, the Punch offers a perfect blend of practicality, safety, and affordability. With a claimed mileage of 20 kmpl, it stands out as an economical choice for daily driving while maintaining the rugged appeal of an SUV.
Design & Style
The Tata Punch carries a bold and muscular design that gives it a commanding road presence. The front fascia features sleek LED daytime running lights (DRLs), a prominent grille, and a robust bumper, giving it a distinct SUV-like stance. The side profile is accentuated by squared wheel arches, roof rails, and stylish alloy wheels, while the rear boasts sleek taillights and a clean, modern look.
Available in dual-tone color options, the Punch exudes a youthful and sporty vibe. Despite its compact dimensions, the high ground clearance (187 mm) and rugged cladding enhance its SUV character, making it suitable for both city commutes and occasional off-road adventures.
Engine & Performance
Under the bonnet, the Punch comes with the 1.2L Revotron petrol engine that puts out 88 bhp and 115 Nm. The engine is so well set-up for easy city driving – there’s healthy response for acceleration and nice amount of low-end power. Buyers will have the option to opt for a 5-speed manual gearbox for an engaging drive, or an AMT (Automated Manual Transmission) for a more relaxed city drive. It’s not a car built for performance per sé but it’s well balanced and really great as a daily driver. A smooth running engine can result in quieter motor operation, while the lightweight nature can improve fuel consumption.
Ride & Handling
It is based on Tata’s ALFA (Agile Light Flexible Advanced) platform and delivers predictable, comfortable handling. The suspension has been well-calibrated to soak-up bumps and potholes, thus delivering a comfortable ride over nasty roads. The electric power steering is light for easy parking and navigating at low speeds, but adds effort for better stability at higher speeds. The Punch rides high with a ground clearance of 187 mm and is very impressive in its clearance and ability to take on uneven roads, speed breakers etc without scraping the underbody. Whether going slow-and-steady on narrow city streets or wide-open on highways, the Punch’s ride is a confident one.
