tata punch launch date in india features mileage

Nowadays the trend of mini SUV is increasing day by day. Due to the high ground clearance and compact nature, most of the buyers are now preferring to buy compact SUVs rather than premium hatchbacks and sedans. Tata Nexon is one of the most popular mini SUVs in India and its sales cross over 6,000 every month. On the other hand, the 5 to 6 Lakh rupees is the most selling segment. But there is no compact mini SUV type vehicle present in this segment except the Nissan Magnite. Targeting this segment, Tata is working on a new vehicle, whose concept name was HBX. The company has recently released the teaser of the car on its social handles with the name Tata Punch.

It will not be a proper compact mini SUV, instead, you can call it a super compact SUV. This will fill the gap between a hatchback and a mini SUV. At Auto Expo 2020, Tata had showcased the Punch and it looked like a super compact version of the Harrier. It will launch in the Indian market anytime between October and 2021 Festive Season. On the other hand, Tata already has two products in the same segment, the mid variant of Tiago and the base variants of Altroz. Now, it will be interesting to see at what price Tata will launch this upcoming car. Currently, no other Super Compact Mini SUV competition exists in this segment, so it is clear that this will bring surprising sales figures to Tata.

Design

Looking at the teaser, the Tata Punch looks similar to its concept variant shown at the Auto Expo 2020. Several critics suggest that it looks like a mini version of the Harrier. Like the front profile of the Tata Harrier, it will also come with a daytime running light above the headlight which will also act as an indicator. It is likely to come with 16-inch four-spoke dual-tone machine-cut alloy wheels on the top trims, while lower trims can get 15-inch steel wheels. The Punch will also get roof rails and rear wipers. Recent teasers and spy shots suggest that it will have a regular antenna setup instead of shark fin antennas. However, the company is yet to share the interior images of the vehicle. So there is nothing to comment on the interior of the car.

Engine and Mileage

Coming to the Engine. The upcoming Punch will get Tata’s 1.2L Revotron 1197cc 3 cylinder engine that generates 84.48bhp of power at 6000rpm and 113Nm of torque at 3300rpm. This engine will come with a 5-speed manual gearbox and 5-speed AMT transmission in this car. This is the same engine that also powers the Tata Altroz, Tiago and Tigor. This engine is capable of delivering an actual mileage of up to 18kmpl in the city and up to 22kmpl on the highway. While the top trim of the car is expected to get the 1.2-litre, three-cylinder turbo-petrol engine which we have seen in the Altroz iTurbo and Nexon as well. Tata has already clarified that this car will not be offered in the diesel option as most buyers prefer petrol in this segment.

Safety

Tata Motors is known for its safe Cars in the Indian market. The company focuses on delivering safe vehicles and safety is the No. 1 priority for buyers. Tata’s Nexon and Altroz are two products rated Global NCAP 5 stars while Tiago and Tigor received 4 Start ratings. This rating indicates how safe Tata cars are!. Punch will share the same ALFA platform that we have previously seen in Altroz. The Tata Altroz has received a 5-star safety rating, from which we can also expect a 5-star safety rating from this car as well. Apart from this, safety features like ABS, EBD, Brake Assist, Dual Airbags etc. will also be available from the base variant onwards.

Features

Talking about features. Tata Punch will be a feature-rich product that will come with all the bells and whistles. It will get features like Harman touchscreen screen infotainment system, Harman speakers, push start-stop button, all four power windows, electronically adjustable and foldable ORVM, rear parking camera, Sensors, Auto AC etc. which other cars also offer in this segment. However, we do not think it will get a sunroof as it will increase the price of the car to the Nexon level.
