The Punch will be available in four variants which Tata Motors is calling as personas in manual and automatic-manual transmission. Just like most other models priced below Rs 6.5 lakh, the Punch will come only with a petrol engine for now.
The features list includes dual airbags, ABS with EBD, engine start-stop, Eco and City drive modes, 90-degree opening doors, the flat floor in the rear, steering mounted controls, 7-inch infotainment system, rear camera, voice commands, cruise control, height-adjustable driver seat, auto-folding ORVMs and temperature control.
Tata Punch Colour Options

The SUV which will be available in seven colours will come powered by the same 1.2 litres naturally aspirated petrol engine which is seen on the Nexon. The company will keep its options open for introducing a turbocharged version and a fully electric version for the future basis consumer feedback. While exact power output figures were not shared by the company, the Punch can sprint from 0-60 kmph in a claimed 6.5 seconds.
