Tata Punch Facelift Features
One of the most significant strengths of the Tata Punch facelift features list is how comprehensive it is for its price band. The safety is an outstanding pillar that has six airbags in the variants, Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) in addition to Hill Hold and a 360-degree camera that make it more certain in the urban and highway driving.
Powertrain and Performance
The Tata Punch facelift brings notable changes under the hood too. The update that has attracted the most discussions is introduction of new 1.2-litre iTurbo petrol engine with approximately 120 PS and 170 Nm torque (first on the Punch) and six speed manual transmission. This puts the micro-SUV in a performance category that is unique in the segment.
Tata also maintains the popular 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol option with a choice of manual or AMT for a customer and also introduces a factory-fitted CNG option, now with an AMT version, making the Punch the first SUV in India to have a CNG-AMT option.
