The upcoming new Tata Punch micro SUV is expected to be made available with two petrol engines. The options might include a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated Revotron and 1.2L turbocharged gasoline units.

The carmaker might detune the turbo petrol motor for the Punch. Tata’s new mini SUV can be had with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 5-speed AMT gearbox.
Tata Punch will be the smallest and most affordable SUV from the home-grown carmaker in the country. It’s estimated to cost from Rs 5 lakh (for the entry-level variant) to Rs 8 lakh (for the top-end trim). For more information, stay tuned to IndiaCarNews.
