Tata updated the Punch front end with a bigger grille and horizontal bars. LED daytime running lights form the company’s three-arrow pattern. Headlights moved down lower with new covers that look more aggressive than before. Mid and top models get 16-inch alloy wheels with two-tone paint and pointy spokes.
Side view shows bigger wheel arches and black roof rails that make it look more like a proper SUV. Back end has taillights connected by a thin light bar plus a bumper redesign with fake protection plates underneath. Buyers pick from six colors including a new blue. Single color or two-tone with black or white roofs work on most trims.
Tata Punch Engine Choices Including New Turbo
Three Different Motors with Stick Shift or Auto
Tata added a 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine making 118 horsepower and 170 Newton-meters of pull. You get it with five-speed manual gearbox or the AMT automatic. This beats the regular engine for highway passing and city merging.
Regular 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol stays with 88 horsepower and 115 Newton-meters. That comes manual or AMT too. CNG version uses two cylinders to keep the full boot space. All three meet the latest emission rules and run smoother.
