It will be available with a choice of two petrol engines.
Here's more.
Exteriors
The car sports a dual-tone paint job and 16-inch wheels
Tata Punch is based on the ALFA-ARC platform and has the brand's "Humanity Line" grille, split headlamp setup with LED DRLs, a huge bumper, and a dual-tone paintwork.
It is flanked by roof rails, ORVMs, black cladding, and 16-inch alloy wheels.
Wrap-around taillights with a Y-shaped lighting pattern, a window wiper, and a sculpted tailgate grace the rear section of the four-wheeler.
Information
Two engine options should be available
Tata Punch should be fueled by a BS6-compliant 1.2-liter naturally aspirated petrol engine that churns out 85hp/113Nm and a 1.2-liter turbocharged petrol motor. Transmission duties on the micro-SUV should be taken care of by a 5-speed manual or an AMT gearbox.
Interiors
Dual front airbags and 7.0-inch infotainment panel will be offered
While the interiors of the Tata Punch are yet to be revealed, it is likely to have a black-finished cabin with a height-adjustable driver's seat, manual AC controls, and a flat-bottom steering wheel.
It will house a semi-digital instrument cluster and a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment panel with support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
For safety, dual airbags and parking sensors should be available.
