Tata Motors has rationalised the Punch’s line-up by discontinuing some slow-selling trims like the Camo Edition and adding new top-spec Creative variants. The brand’s smallest SUV is now priced between Rs 6.13 lakh-10.20 lakh, and is available in a total of 22 variants; including 5-speed manual and AMT gearbox options, but excluding the five CNG trims.
- Punch Camo Edition discontinued
- Dual-tone paint only available on Creative DT SR and Creative Flagship
- New Creative MT and AMT trims don't get dual-tone finishes
Tata Punch variants discontinued in 2024
The Punch Camo Edition was introduced back in September 2022 on the mid-spec Adventure and Accomplished trims. Those trims got a new Foliage Green exterior paint shade (dual-tone finishes were available with a black or white roof), Camo badging and a few other minor cosmetic differences. The dashboard of the Punch Camo got a military green shade, while the seats were wrapped in a camouflage upholstery.
Dealer sources have revealed that the Punch Camo was a relatively slower-selling model, which is one reason for the removal of all eight Camo trims from the line-up. Also, special edition models such as the limited-run Kaziranga Edition, have, by definition, a limited shelf life.
Tata Punch variants in 2024
However, Tata Motors has added new variants to the Punch’s line-up – Creative MT and AMT. In addition, the company has rejigged the features available on range-topping Creative and Creative Flagship trims; the latter now gets dual-tone paint finishes as standard, while the former will get dual-tone options only with the model equipped with the sunroof – the Creative DT SR.
One can see from the table that while the base price of the Punch has increased by Rs 13,000, most other trims see an increase of Rs 10,000. Even with the increase, the Punch is still well-priced compared to the likes of the Hyundai Exter (Rs 6.13 lakh-10.28 lakh) and Citroen C3 (Rs 6.16 lakh-9.08 lakh).
