Here’s what you can expect from the 2021 Tata Punch.
Exterior and Platform
Tata says the Punch’s Revotron engine features DynaPro technology, which helps in better power delivery, more low-end torque and higher efficiency.
The Tata Punch is the first Tata SUV to be powered by the ALFA-ARC (Agile Light Flexible Advanced Architecture) platform and is based on the brand’s IMPACT 2.0 design language. Distinctive design elements like the three tri-arrow pattern on the black grille are quite evident and it is surrounded by LED Daytime Running Lamp (DRL) while the projector headlights are positioned down on the bumper. The chunky cladding continues to build on the profile as well as SUV appeal and Tata has already confirmed that the punch will be more of a jacked-up hatchback with some SUV features.
The Tata Punch comes with some SUV credentials like beefy cladding, muscular styling, 187 mm of ground clearance and sporty 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels
The 16-inch dual-tone diamond-cut alloy wheels and roof rails further enhance the styling and is made more attractive by the dual-tone body colour. The rear also looks equally sharp and stylish, dominated by the sculpted tailgate, which complements the overall design language. The bumper also boasts of bold cladding and squishy LED taillights in harmony with the overall design.
interior
The Tata Punch offers 366-litres of boot space but misses out on the rear air-con vents and the front central armrest.
The dual-tone black and off-white cabin also looks very modern and orderly. The dash’s minimalist design is clutter-free and the horizontal air-con vents with blue bezels add to its funky appeal. The instrument cluster is similar to what we saw in the Altroz and even the door is opened 90-degrees wide, which is again a carryover. It gets a boot space of 366-litres, but it lacks rear air-con vents and a front central armrest.

The engine has been updated with a Dyna Pro system to optimize air pressure for better low-end torque and is paired with a five-speed manual gearbox as standard and a five-speed AMT unit is optional .
