Pros Cons of Tata Punch

Pros

  • The turbo-petrol engine for highway sprints
  • Extensible thigh support
  • AMT automatic on the CNG
  • Six standard airbags and a five-star BNCAP rating

Cons

  • The touch-based climate controls are distracting
  • Rear-seat headroom is tight for tall passengers
  • The three-cylinder engine feels slightly loud

Verdict

By finally dropping a powerful turbo-petrol engine under the hood, the Tata Punch has now become a genuinely capable highway cruiser. Adding an AMT option to the CNG variants also makes it one of the smartest buys for heavy city commuters, while the digital cabin upgrades and the standard six airbags push it a step above many of its rivals. Some niggles remain, but they are negligible. The sheer road presence, high ground clearance, and tough build quality of this car make it a very logical purchase.

Bilal concludes,

“Tata has taken a car which has already worked so well and made it feel more usable and modern.”
