Blending a range of features ranging from comfort and safety, the Tata Punch is a great option for buyers who are willing to invest their money in the micro-SUV segment. Additionally, underneath the hood lies a spirited and fuel-efficient engine, making it an all-rounder offering great value for money.

And with the dual-cylinder CNG technology, space has also been utilised in a smart manner but that’s not all.

The Punch comes with an affordable price tag and is extremely high on safety as well. When it was launched in October 2021, it immediately reached the top of the SUV sales charts in India. It can be inferred that the car is more than ready to stand its ground as an SUV in the Indian market.

Listed below are five reasons Why the Tata Punch is a Value for Money Car:

Tata Punch: Five-Star Global NCAP Safety

Before we get to the car’s safety in detail, it is important to note that to score high in the National Car Assessment Programme, car companies require complex technologies. Banking on the same, Tata Punch scored an outstanding five-star rating in adult protection and four stars in child safety. 

Underpinned by the newly developed Agile Light Flexible Advanced (ALFA) structure, it comes with important safety features like dual front airbags, anti-lock braking system (ABS), electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD), cornering safety, child seat ISOFIX mounts, reverse parking camera and tyre repairing kit.

Tata Punch: Twin-Cylinder iCNG Technology

In addition to the safety tech on board, the Punch SUV is very practical due to the brand’s innovative approach in terms of twin-cylinder technology. With the twin-cylinder arrangement, space in the boot, which is otherwise non-existent in CNG cars, is 210 litres, displaying Tata’s commitment to innovation.

Departing from the commonly used mono cylinder, the dual-cylinder setup incorporates two carbon cylinders for CNG. Additionally, it can start in CNG mode because of the enhanced electronic control unit (ECU). 

The CNG cylinder setup leaves the rear seat occupants uncomfortable and restricted, which is an issue in these cars. However, Tata has aced the CNG segment when it comes to innovation.
