2021 Tata Punch dimensions, engine, specifications
The Tata Punch is based on the modular ALFA architecture that first debuted with the Altroz. The crossover is narrower and shorter than the Altroz but taller with its 3,827mm length, 1,742mm width and 1,615mm height. The wheelbase is also shorter at 2,445mm. The Punch has a 190mm ground clearance while boot space is 368 litres. The SUV styling also gives the Punch some capability in the rough stuff with a 20.3°approach angle, 37.6° departure angle and 22.2° ramp over angle and a 370mm wading depth.
Powering the Tata Punch is the 1.2-litre Revotron naturally aspirated petrol that puts out 86PS and 113 Nm. This motor pairs with a five-speed manual, or in the top-three variants, with a five-speed AMT. The motor has been retuned here for better low-end performance while the AMT now offers a Traction Pro mode for improved performance. The manual returns an ARAI fuel consumption figure of 19 kmpl.
