Hyundai Exter vs Tata CNG AMT


Tata Punch price in Gariaband
On-road in Gariaband, the base model Smart Petrol MT starts at 6.36 lakh and the top model Accomplished + S CNG AMT reaches 12.07 lakh. The Accomplished Petrol MT sits between the two at 9.37 lakh.
If you are financing the car, a loan of 5,70,000 on the base model Smart Petrol MT means an EMI of 9,171 a month. Stepping up to the top model Accomplished + S CNG AMT raises that to 17,537 on a loan of 10,90,000.
Why prices change from the base model to the top model:
Three fuel options are offered here, and the fuel you choose moves the price before equipment is counted.
The base model Smart Petrol MT is a petrol manual, while the top model Accomplished + S CNG AMT is a CNG with the automated manual.
The 120hp turbo-petrol sits above the 88hp petrol and comes only with a 6-speed manual.
The 10.25-inch touchscreen, the sunroof and the 360-degree camera arrive higher up the range.
Six airbags and the 5-star Bharat NCAP rating apply across the range, so safety is not one of the things the extra money buys.
Registration, road tax and insurance are added to the ex-showroom figure, and how much they add depends on the state you buy in. That is why the same variant costs more in one city than another.

Hear from the










I’m about to buy my first car, and my budget is around Rs 7.5-8 lakh. I’m considering only manual petrol models and am confused between the Hyundai Exter and the Tata Punch. I’ve driven the Exter and really liked how smooth it is to drive and shift, as well as how quiet it is. I haven’t driven the Punch yet, but sitting in it felt better than the Exter because of the visibility and commanding driving position. I also like the Punch’s looks, but I’m worried about the after-sales experience. My daily city driving will be limited to 20-25 km, plus a 500 km highway round trip every three months. Please help me decide.
Between your two picks, the Hyundai Exter has the more refined powertrain. Its four-cylinder engine feels very smooth, and the clutch and shift action are light, making it very easy to drive in traffic. Performance is also stronger, and space and practicality are marginally better. Hyundai also has a strong reputation for reliability and after-sales service, so it offers peace of mind, which is important for your first car.The Tata Punch doesn't have the same level of refinement, but its ride quality is superior to the Exter's. It also has a higher driving position, which will be useful since you are a new driver. Tata's service can be inconsistent, so check your local dealer's reputation before you commit. Overall, the Exter is the more sensible choice; however, if ride quality and a high seating position are non-negotiable for you, then the Punch is a fine alternative.
I need a car under Rs 10 lakh. We’re a family of three, and my child is eight years old. We’ll use it mainly in the city, with occasional highway trips. I’m confused between the Tata Punch, the Maruti Suzuki Baleno and the Maruti Suzuki Fronx.
Between your picks, the Baleno is the most sensible recommendation. It's a practical, comfortable, and reliable family car backed by Maruti's large service network. With the recent facelift, it now comes with a 1.2-litre 3-cylinder engine that gives better fuel efficiency and low-speed drivability. It also has a more spacious cabin than the Punch. The Punch's advantage is having a more SUV-like, commanding driving position; however, its powertrain is not as refined as the Maruti. The Fronx is very similar to the Baleno but has a slightly higher ride height and better ground clearance. With the Baleno moving to a 3-cylinder engine, the Fronx still offers a 4-cylinder engine, which is slightly more refined and powerful. However, the Fronx does command a significant premium, and that money is better spent on a higher variant of the Baleno.Overall, the Baleno is the best fit for your needs, but if higher ground clearance and a 4-cylinder engine are important to you, then the Fronx is a good alternative.
I am confused between Tata Punch EV 40 kWh and Tata Punch CNG. My daily running is around 70km mostly on highways. I have a free charger in my office and take 3-4 trips annually. Please suggest.
With 70km a day, mostly on the highway, and free charging at your office, the Punch EV 40kWh is the clear choice. At roughly 1,800km a month, the Punch CNG would cost you around Rs 6,000-7,000 a month in fuel, while your daily running in the EV costs next to nothing. That saving more than makes up for the EV's higher price over a few years. The EV is also the better car to drive. It's quicker, much quieter and far more relaxed at highway speeds than the CNG, which feels strained when fully loaded.
I am confused between Tata Punch Adventure MT petrol and Brezza Turbo VXI model. The price difference between the two is around Rs. 1.20 lakh. Please consider that I am planning to purchase the car for family purpose for long term usage and stress free ownership.
If your budget allows it, go for the Maruti Suzuki Brezza VXi. The 1.5 litre petrol engine is refined and delivers enough performance for effortless everyday driving and highway trips. The cabin is wider and more spacious than the Tata Punch’s, making the Brezza a better family car, especially for long term use. The VXi is also reasonably well equipped, so you don't have to stretch to a higher variant to get the essentials. Maruti’s extensive service network and generally affordable maintenance are further advantages if stress free ownership is a priority.The Tata Punch Adventure MT is easier to manage in tight city spaces and makes sense if you want to save Rs 1.2 lakh. However, the Brezza feels like a step up in cabin space, performance and overall usability. For a family car you intend to keep for many years, the extra money for the Brezza is worth spending.
