Tata Punch in Orange dual-tone spotted in Pune

The Citroen C3 will enter the fray next year to take on the Tata Punch.

The upcoming Tata Punch was recently spotted in Pune. The crossover was unveiled in August and will go on sale this festive season. Some dealerships have already started accepting pre-bookings.

The Punch is based on the ALFA-ARC (Agile Light Flexible Advanced Architecture) platform and features Tata's Impact 2.0 design.

The crossover gets a Harrier-like front fascia with a split grille and slim LED daytime running lights. The main headlamp clusters are positioned in separate pods on the bumper. Black cladding along the sides and wheel arches adds to the rugged look.

The car seen in these images seems to be a higher variant as it is equipped with diamond-cut alloys, fog lamps and is finished in a dual-tone exterior.

The Tata Punch is likely to be offered with a 1.2-litre petrol engine producing 85 BHP and 113 Nm. Higher variants of the car might get a turbocharged 1.2-litre motor, while transmission options are likely to include a 5-speed manual and 5-speed AMT.
