DISCLAIMER- This writeup is based on the visuals and commentary of the embedded video. This should not be considered an opinion/review of Tata Punch by CarBlogIndia
Here is a detailed video of Tata Punch sweating it out in a full-blown off-roading condition to prove its capabilities. Punch has been the newest addition to the Tata family and finds itself in the micro-SUV segment. This will be Tata’s new entry-level product and will cater to the needs of the semi-urban and rural populations. In order to succeed in that market, the micro-SUV needs to be tough, rugged, agile, practical and utilitarian. Based on the HBX concept showcased at the Auto Expo 2020, Punch represents the production version of that model which everyone was impressed with. Tata is leaving no stone unturned to market Punch as a tough SUV and this video is a part of that strategy. Let us take a look at what the Punch offers in terms of off-roading capabilities.

Tata Punch Off-Roading Capabilities
The Punch boasts of high ground clearance and short overhangs on both sides. It also has the Traction Pro Mode if your wheel gets stuck in a difficult situation. The off-roading environment is created keeping in mind every possible situation in mind that might occur on road. This includes driving through slush, muddy waters, undulations on the road, rock climbing, inclines, descents, ice challenge, gully crossing, water wading and many such scenarios. By the looks of it, the Tata Punch seems to be prepared for every sort of challenge thrown its way. The body cladding, side skirting and rugged skid plates add to the protective equipment on offer. Watching this video, the off-roading capabilities of the Tata Punch are clearly visible.

Specs
Powering the Tata Punch is a Tiago-sourced 1.2-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine that is also available on the Altroz as well as the Tigor. This motor outputs 86 hp. Transmission options will include a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed AMT. The expected prices might range between Rs 5 lakh to Rs 8 lakh, ex-showroom. The overall exterior design of the Punch is a great combination of Nexon and Harrier. The Nexon-inspired element includes a glossy front grille and tri-arrow pattern in the taillamps. The Harrier-inspired feature is the split headlamp design with LED DRLs on the bonnet and headlights on the bumper below. The interiors seem to be a mix of other Tata products. Currently, the main rival of the Punch includes Maruti Ignis and the upcoming Hyundai Casper.
