Tata Punch micro-SUV is more affordable by around Rs. 1 lakh in defence stores (CSD) compared to regular Tata dealerships
Tata Motors launched the Punch in India in October this year, and its sales performance has been impressively strong since. The micro-SUV is quite competitively priced in our market, from Rs. 5.49 lakh to Rs. 9.09 lakh (ex-showroom, New Delhi), which makes it a brilliant value-for-money product.
Well, CSD prices are more affordable than the regular prices, which makes the Punch an even better deal if you have access to defence stores. In case you were wondering how lower the CSD prices are, check out the table provided below. The complete ex-showroom prices list has been provided there.
Tata Punch is available with a single engine option in India – a 1.2-litre, natural aspirated, inline-3 petrol motor. This powerplant can generate a peak power of 86 PS and a maximum torque of 113 Nm. Transmission choices include a 5-speed manual gearbox and a 5-speed AMT.
There are plenty of features and equipment on offer on the Tata micro-SUV. These include projector headlights, LED DRLs, LED taillights, 16-inch dual-tone alloy wheels, semi-digital instrument cluster (with 7-inch MID), a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, cruise control, automatic climate control, cooled glove box, puddle lamps, rain-sensing wipers, etc.
Also, iRA connected car tech is available as an add-on package on the top-spec ‘Creative’ trim. It should also be noted that despite being a budget car, the Punch is one of the safest cars on sale in India, with a 5-star adult safety rating and a child 4-star safety by Global NCAP.
