Asked by: Rahul Lodayaon Feb 12, 2026
Hello sir, I want to buy the Tata Punch facelift turbo 1.2-litre car for pure city driving in Pune. My monthly running is 500km. There may be occasional highway drives. Please suggest whether it is the right choice or if I should go with the NA engine or some other car in the Rs 10 lakh budget. Thank you.
Yes, the Tata Punch turbo is a good choice for you, given the nature of your usage. The advantage is that it can still be easy, and even quite fuel efficient if driven carefully, when driving around town, while also being strong enough for your occasional highway drives or hilly regions. This can not be said of the naturally aspirated engine.
Perhaps the only downsides are that the 6-speed manual gearbox can feel notchy, clutch modulation is not easy to do smoothly, and it is not very refined. Also, you will not get the top-spec variant within your Rs 10 lakh budget.
Keeping that in mind, you should also consider the Citroen C3 1.2 Turbo. It has a much smoother and punchier engine, and the gearbox is slicker too. It may miss out on some features that the Punch gets, but it is also more affordable overall. Its biggest advantage is that, if you are willing to spend a little more, you can get this engine with a smooth 6-speed automatic gearbox, which will be a huge boon around town.

I own two cars: a Brezza petrol TC and a Baleno Zeta CNG. My daily run is 60-70 km in the city, mostly on good roads. I am thinking of replacing the Baleno with another CNG car that has a better driving stance and higher ground clearance, as I sometimes get tired driving the Baleno for long hours. The Brezza is mostly used for outstation family vacations. Please recommend a good CNG car under ₹13 lakhs that is feature-rich and reliable. Some must-have features for me are white LED projector headlamps, alloy wheels, and a good stock speaker system.
Given your requirements, you should consider the Tata Punch CNG AMT. The Punch offers a ground clearance of 193mm, LED headlamps, 16-inch alloy wheels and an excellent 8-speaker audio system. Other notable features include a 10.25-inch touchscreen, a sunroof, a wireless phone charger, 6 airbags and a 360-degree camera.
The Punch CNG AMT is powered by a 1.2-litre engine paired with a 5-speed AMT automatic gearbox. Being a CNG, you'll still benefit from the lower running costs, but unlike your Maruti Baleno CNG, this is an automatic, so it will be more convenient and comfortable for you to drive for long durations. Tata Punch CNG AMT prices range from Rs 9.95 lakh to Rs 12.30 lakh (on-road, Delhi).

Asked by: Vijay singhon Feb 9, 2026
I am going to buy my first car. My usage will be around 50-80 km during peak summers and peak winters, mostly for about 8 months. For the rest of the year, the car will almost remain parked at home. The only car that comes to mind is the Tata Punch because of family safety. However, I feel I might be ignoring other factors like mileage and after-sales service costs. Please guide me on various options, keeping safety and a budget of not more than ₹9 lakh in mind. I would prefer a four-cylinder engine if possible, although the Punch has a three-cylinder engine. Can the Altroz diesel be a good alternative? My preference is a manual transmission.
The Tata Punch is a good, practical car that's proven its mettle for its safety. As you've mentioned, its three-cylinder petrol engine feels inadequate, and Tata doesn't have a solid reputation for after-sales support either.
Since you're looking for a four-cylinder option with mileage, service costs, as well as safety, we'd recommend you consider the Hyundai Venue, the 1.2 Petrol MT HX2 variant, which is the entry-level variant. As far as smoothness, refinement, space, and an upmarket interior feel go, the Venue is easily the better car.

Asked by: Kago Taloon Feb 9, 2026
I am looking for a new car that is feature-rich, offers the best ground clearance, and delivers good mileage within a budget of ₹ 8 to 10 lakh. I live in a hilly terrain.
You should consider the Tata Punch. It is a sub-compact SUV with a good ground clearance of 193mm, and it comes with features like a 10.25-inch touchscreen, a sunroof, auto climate control, digital instrument cluster, wireless phone charger and much more, in the top-spec Accomplished+ S variant. The Punch is also quite spacious and comfortable for its size.
The Punch facelift also gets a new 120hp, 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine so it won't have any trouble dealing with hilly roads. However, its mileage won't be as good as the 88hp, 1.2-litre naturally aspirated engine. Tata Punch prices range from Rs 6.22 lakh to Rs 12.30 lakh (on-road, Delhi).

Hi, I want to buy a car with a budget of INR 12 lakhs. I use it 65% for outstation trips and 35% locally. I prefer spaciousness, performance, safety, and good looks. Please suggest. Thanks.
You should consider the Tata Punch. The sub-compact SUV has a roomy cabin, great ride comfort and handling and a lengthy list of features. It also comes with 6 airbags and has received a 5-star safety rating from Bharat NCAP, so it's safe too.
The new 120hp, 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine is punchy and fun to drive, and with the recent facelift, the Punch looks quite modern and stylish. Tata Punch iTurbo prices range from Rs 8.29 lakh to Rs 9.79 lakh (ex-showroom, India).

Asked by: Prakashon Feb 8, 2026
Please suggest a new SUV up to Rs 10 lakhs. My running is between 300-500km per month, & occasionally a long drive.
You can consider the Tata Punch, which is a sub-compact SUV that is priced under Rs 10 lakh. The Punch is a spacious car for its size with a good ride quality and a tough build quality. It is also well-equipped, with top-spec variants featuring a 10.25-inch touchscreen, a sunroof, auto climate control, wireless phone charger and much more, and has received a 5-star crash safety rating from Bharat NCAP.
The Punch is available with an 88hp, 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine that can be had with either a 5-speed manual or AMT gearbox. This same engine also powers the CNG variants, which can be had with a manual or an AMT gearbox.
Tata also introduced a new 120hp, 1.2-litre turbo petrol with a 6-speed manual with the Punch facelift. Tata Punch prices range from Rs 6.22 lakh to Rs 12.30 lakh (on-road, Delhi).

Dear Autocar team, I am looking to buy a car for my family with a budget of up to ₹16.5 lakhs. I want to prioritise safety, mileage, and low maintenance cost. My daily running is 45 km, and once a week I do around 300 km on the highway, which totals over 2,000 km per month. I would like to ask whether I should choose an automatic or manual, CNG or petrol, and if petrol is considered safer than CNG. Also, which car and variant would you suggest? Thanks!
Since your running is quite high, a CNG car would do you well, however make sure there are easily accessible CNG pumps in your area.
If there is a lot of traffic in your area and your driving requires a lot of gearshifts, then yes, an automatic makes sense; however, unfortunately, there aren't any mid-size CNG automatics available.
Your best option here would be the Tata Punch CNG, which is available with an automatic gearbox and has a usable boot with dual CNG tanks tucked in below the floor.
However, if you want to stick with a mid-size vehicle, then you would have to opt for a manual, and the Maruti Suzuki Victoris would be a good option here. It too has a clear boot as the CNG tank is below the floor.

We have a Hyundai Grand i10 manual purchased in 2017, which my son currently drives. We now want to purchase an AMT car and are considering the Hyundai Exter, Maruti Suzuki Baleno, or any other option you may advise. Body strength, safety, and a comfortable AMT are our key priorities.
If safety is your top priority, then instead of the Hyundai Exter (which has not yet been crash-tested) and the Maruti Suzuki Baleno (which has received a 2-star GNCAP rating), we would suggest the recently facelifted Tata Punch. It has secured a 5-star BNCAP rating, giving it the added level of safety you are looking for.
The Tata Punch is also easy to drive, the AMT gearbox works well in the city, the ride quality is comfortable, and it feels confident at higher speeds.
On the downside, the 1.2-litre naturally aspirated engine lacks punch for highway use, and the rear seat is not the most spacious.

I own an Altroz DCT but want to replace it due to mileage issues. My running is almost 400 km per month, mostly within the city. I want an SUV in the range of around ₹12 lakh, preferably an automatic. Please suggest.
You could consider the CNG-AMT version of the updated Tata Punch, which gives you the best of both worlds - running costs of a CNG, and the convenience of an automatic.
If you want a petrol-only offering, you could consider the Maruti Fronx or Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor 1.2 petrol-AMT, both of which are powered by a very fuel-efficient and smooth powertrain.

Hi, Need to upgrade from my 16 year old Ritz which served decent but started giving frequent issues post 12 years and 100000 kms. Prefer to have automatic so that my wife a new learner too can drive when needed, with decent space for 4 Adults and 1 kid during outstation trips with well aged parents. I'm around 40+ now. Ease for getting in n out is a must especially for aged parents. However 80% of the time it be used for lone commuting to office and back max 12kms or less one-way in mumbai traffic. Don't fancy features other than adjustable headrests even for rear, decent AC, basic music system... Don't think I use anything more. Ps we used to love seating of ritz found its angles and width apt for senior citizens. Budget around 8 onroad mumbai. Kindly suggest.
Unfortunately, at your budget of Rs 8 lakh on road, few cars will feel like a significant upgrade to your Maruti Ritz, even though it is 12 years old. This is also because you are looking for an automatic, and while you are happy with having only basic features in your car, the automatic gearbox is usually tied to mid- to high-level variants in most vehicles. However, here are some options, like the Hyundai Exter and the recently facelifted Tata Punch that should meet your needs within your budget. Both also use a tall-boy design which allows for easy ingress and egress, and the Punch has the added advantage of doors that open a full 90 degrees, helping further.
However, of the two, we would recommend the Hyundai Exter, as it is slightly wider in the rear seat, and also because it has the smoother and more efficient petrol engine with the smoother AMT gearbox of the two.
