Tata Motors has delivered a knockout blow to Maruti Suzuki, breaking its 40year streak of producing the country’s highestselling vehicle. The Punch has now achieved the impossible, but it comes with a catch – a price hike of up to Rs 17,000, depending on the trim. The Punch joins the Tiago, Tiago EV, Tigor, and Nexon in the list of Tata models to receive a price increase.The Punch internal combustion engine lineup is predominantly available in four variants — Pure, Adventure, Accomplished and Creative. The petrol manual range starts from Rs 6 lakh to Rs 9.57 lakh, while the AMT is from Rs 7.77 lakh to Rs 10.17 lakh, exshowroom Delhi. The subcompact SUV is available in a CNG variant but does not offer the Creative trim. It comes in three variants — Pure, Adventure, and Accomplished — with prices ranging from Rs 7.30 lakh to Rs 10 lakh, exshowroom Delhi.Based on the variants, the Tata Punch has received a price increase from Rs 7,000 to Rs 17,000. The Punch rivals the Hyundai Exter and is powered by a 1.2litre petrol engine. It produces 86.5 bhp at 6,000 rpm and 115 Nm at 3,150 – 3,350 rpm and is mated to either a 5speed manual or a 5speed AMT. The Punch CNG, on the other hand, is also powered by the 1.2litre petrol but has an output of 72.5 bhp at 6,000 rpm and 103 Nm at 3,250 rpm. It is only available with a 5 5speed manual transmission.
