It will be the first SUV to employ the ALFA-ARC (Agile Light Flexible Advanced Architecture), developed under Impact 2.0 design language. Here's all you can expect from the Tata Punch micro SUV.

The soon-to-be-launched Punch will be the brand's new entry-level SUV and will be slotted below the Nexon subcompact SUV in the product lineup. The Punch stays true to the HBX concept in terms of design, as the production version has not deviated much from the concept model. The carmaker had previously confirmed that about 90 per cent of styling elements would be retained from the concept.
