2024 Tata Punch: What's New?

The Tata Punch is now offered in 10 variants: Pure, Pure (O), Adventure, Adventure Rhythm, Adventure S, Adventure+ S, Accomplished+, Accomplished+ S, Creative+, and Creative+ S. A major update is the inclusion of an LED readout-based instrument cluster, which is now standard across all variants. 

The Pure Rhythm, Accomplished, Accomplished SR, and Creative Flagship trim levels will no longer be offered for the Punch. Although the entry-level Pure, Adventure, and Adventure Rhythm trims remain the same, the carmaker has added new trims such as Pure (O), Adventure S, and Adventure + S. Additionally, the Accomplished Dazzle and Creative variants have received minor modifications.

In terms of equipment, the new Pure (O) petrol model is equipped with wheel covers, powered ORVMs, central locking, and powered windows, among other amenities over the base Pure trim. The Adventure S and Adventure + S, on the other hand, enhance the Adventure Rhythm trim with features like a sunroof and rear AC vents. The bigger 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen is available on Punch Accomplished + and higher variants; the Creative + and Creative + S trims also come with wireless charging.
