Tata Motors is a reputable car manufacturer in the country, with a strong presence in the automotive industry. The brand is known to manufacture high-quality vehicles, including SUVs, sedans, pickups, trucks, and lorries. The Tata Punch 2024 is one such popular offering from the brand. This feature-packed 5-seater SUV is available with both manual and AMT transmission options. Understanding its key features can help potential buyers make an informed choice.

Safety
The Tata Punch has been designed with safety as one of the main deliverables. The car’s fortified cabin ensures the driver and passengers are safe, and the front fog lamps provide better nighttime visibility. Besides that, the Tata Punch lineup comes with an anti-lock braking system, central locking, child safety locks, front airbags, day and night rearview mirror, electronic brakeforce distribution, traction control, tyre pressure monitoring system, a rear camera, and anti-pinch power windows. Other than these features, the rain-sensing wipers ensure that every drive on a rainy day is calming and hassle-free.

Engine and performance
The Tata Punch delivers a smooth driving experience every time, thanks to the DynaPro engine technology, which is responsible for the impressive performance of the car. It is equipped with a 3-cylinder 1.2L Revotron engine that can generate 86.63 bhp and 115Nm of torque. Additionally, the cruise control feature makes highway driving easier, allowing drivers to navigate curves and turn smoothly without sharp swerves. The 5-speed AMT engine ensures smooth movement on all types of roads. With 187mm ground clearance, the car’s bottom is protected from bumps and ditches. The Tata Punch can be driven in Eco and City modes with a simple push of a button.

Comfort
The Tata Punch offers its occupants ample comfort and convenience. It comes with a voice-assisted sunroof, which adds a touch of sunlight and breeze to the drive. Moreover, the Xpress switch in the car can be turned on when optimum cooling is needed in the cabin. The system notifies the occupants once it achieves the desired temperature, allowing them to turn off the switch if necessary. This is in addition to the automatic climate control feature that automatically adjusts the temperature in the car. The rearview mirrors on the outside of the car automatically open and close when starting or stopping the car. All these features, combined with a spacious 366-litre boot space, are a definite win. Besides this, the cabin has 25 different storage spots that can be used to stow away small things and personal belongings in the car.

Technology
The Tata Punch is equipped with modern technology features that add to its versatility. It has a centre console with a 7″ floating touch screen. Besides, a 7″ TFT cluster displays the crucial information for the driver all in one place. It allows them to monitor the car easily. The Harman infotainment screen is conveniently located for both the driver and the front passenger. The system is compatible with both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Occupants can enjoy an immersive listening experience with a total of 4 speakers fitted into the car.

Additionally, Tata Punch owners can monitor and manage their car’s statistics through a dedicated app provided by the car developer. The application can provide users with real-time and live diagnostic reports, and in case of a collision, the app notifies the car owner’s emergency contacts about the mishap. If there are any attempts of intrusion, the program alerts the car driver.
