Pros
- Tata Punch is built on the ALFA platform, making it a robust and compact micro SUV with excellent ground clearance of 187 mm, perfect for rough terrains and urban roads alike.
- The 1.2-litre Revotron petrol engine delivers 85 bhp and 113 Nm of torque, providing peppy performance for city commutes, especially with the light and easy-to-drive nature of the 5-speed manual and AMT versions.
- It has scored a 5-star safety rating from Global NCAP, making it one of the safest vehicles in its segment, with dual airbags, ABS with EBD, and ISOFIX child seat anchors as standard.
Cons
- The AMT gearbox shows hesitation during gear shifts, particularly from first to third, which can affect the smoothness of the drive.
- The rear seat comfort is compromised due to limited legroom, and while it's a compact SUV, the back row can feel tight for taller passengers.
- The infotainment screen is relatively small at 7 inches and could be more responsive, with noticeable lag during operation
Verdict
Tata Punch is a strong contender in the micro SUV segment, offering a blend of SUV styling, solid safety credentials, and practical features at an affordable price point. While there are minor issues with the AMT gearbox and rear seat space, the overall value for money, robust build quality, and top-tier safety make it a great choice for urban families looking for a compact, safe, and stylish vehicle.
