So which variant of the Tata Punch should you buy?
For the new Punch, we’d recommend the Accomplished+ S trim with the turbo-petrol engine. As the top trim of the line-up, it not only comes with all the bells and whistles, but it also offers great value for money. After all, at an additional Rs 40,000 over its predecessor’s top trim, you get a much more powerful turbo-petrol engine. This mill is a more potent alternative to the NA petrol engine, which, in our experience, wasn’t good enough. For those looking for a cost-effective option, there’s also the petrol+CNG with AMT powertrain option in this trim.
