New Delhi, January 13

Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd. announced the launch of the all-new Tata Punch on Tuesday, with an introductory starting price of Rs 5.59 lakh. The updated subcompact SUV introduces new powertrain options and a suite of technological upgrades to the Indian market.

According to a Tata Motors media release, the latest iteration of the vehicle includes two significant mechanical additions: a 1.2L turbocharged iTurbo Revotron engine and a twin-cylinder iCNG technology paired with an automated manual transmission (AMT). The manufacturer stated that the iTurbo engine provides a best-in-class power-to-weight ratio, while the iCNG AMT combination represents a first in the SUV segment. These additions aim to provide a balance between performance and fuel efficiency for various consumer needs.

Shailesh Chandra, MD & CEO, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd. said, "The Punch has always been a reflection of India's evolving ambitions, democratizing the SUV experience with a feature-rich package that earned it a place among India's best-selling SUVs. Today, we have taken this experience to the next level. With the new Punch, we've redefined what an SUV in this segment can be - shaped by customer insights and engineered with new age technology at its core. It's faster, smarter, and safer, complemented by a bold, muscular stance with the confidence to truly Command Max."

The new model has secured a 5-star Bharat NCAP safety rating. The vehicle is built on the Alfa-Arc architecture and features the Tata Safety Dome, utilizing ultra-high-strength steel. Standard safety equipment includes six airbags, electronic stability program, and 3-point ELR seatbelts for all passengers. The SUV also includes hill hold and hill descent control to assist drivers on varying terrains.

Inside the cabin, the updated Punch features a 26.03 cm high-definition infotainment system and a 360-degree surround-view camera system. Other technological integrations include a 65W Type-C USB charger, rain-sensing wipers, and an auto-dimming interior rearview mirror. The vehicle maintains its signature 90-degree door opening for easier entry and exit, and introduces new interior finishes with mountain-inspired graphics.

"Having pioneered the subcompact SUV category with its debut in October 2021 and already trusted by ~700,000 customers, the new Tata Punch advances its legacy of creating industry benchmarks," the release said.

The iCNG AMT is a game-changer for families like mine. Fuel costs are killing our budget. A safe, feature-packed SUV that runs on CNG with an automatic gearbox? This is exactly what the Indian middle class needs. Well done, Tata!

Respectfully, while the features are impressive, I hope the after-sales service and spare parts availability have improved. My experience with Tata service centers hasn't been great. The product is strong, but the ownership experience needs to match.

The safety specs are seriously impressive for a car at this price point. Six airbags and a 5-star rating as standard? That should be the norm. More Indian manufacturers need to prioritize safety like this. My next car might just be a Tata.

"Command Max" 😂 The marketing is a bit much, but you can't argue with the package. 360-degree camera, rain-sensing wipers, turbo engine... all under 6 lakhs (introductory). The competition from Maruti and Hyundai just got a massive challenge. Exciting times!

The 90-degree door opening is such a thoughtful feature, especially for my elderly parents. It's these small, practical touches that show Tata understands real Indian family needs. The mountain-inspired graphics sound interesting too! Can't wait for a test drive.
