A Game-Changer in the SUV Market
The Tata Punch 2025 has taken India by storm, becoming the fastest SUV to hit 6 lakh sales in under four years since its launch in October 2021. This compact SUV, loved for its bold look, top-notch safety, and pocket-friendly price, is winning hearts across cities and small towns alike. With petrol, CNG, and electric variants, it offers something for everyone, making it India’s top-selling passenger vehicle in 2024. Tata Motors’ “India Ki SUV” campaign celebrates this milestone, showcasing the Punch’s appeal to first-time buyers and families.
Unmatched Safety for Peace of Mind
Safety is where the Tata Punch truly shines. It boasts a 5-star safety rating from both Global NCAP and Bharat NCAP, making it one of the safest SUVs in its class. Whether it’s the petrol, CNG, or electric version, the Punch ensures you drive with confidence. It comes with dual airbags as standard, while the electric variant offers six airbags. Other safety features include ABS with EBD, a rear parking camera, parking sensors, ISOFIX child seat anchors, and a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS). The strong ALFA-ARC platform adds to its solid build, keeping you and your loved ones safe on every ride.
Smart Features for Modern Drivers
The 2025 Punch is packed with features that make driving fun and easy. Its 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, letting you stay connected on the go. You also get a voice-activated electric sunroof, automatic climate control, cruise control, and rain-sensing wipers. The cabin feels premium with a digital instrument cluster and connected car tech (iRA). The Punch’s 90-degree opening doors and 187mm ground clearance make it practical for city streets and rough roads alike. For those who love style, the Camo Edition in Seaweed Green adds a unique flair.
Power and Efficiency with CNG Option
The Tata Punch 2025 offers a 1.2-litre petrol engine with 87 bhp and 115 Nm of torque, paired with a 5-speed manual or AMT gearbox. The CNG variant, a favorite for budget-conscious buyers, delivers 72 bhp and 103 Nm with a manual gearbox, offering an impressive mileage of 26.99 km/kg. Tata’s twin-cylinder CNG technology keeps boot space at 210 litres, solving a common issue in CNG cars. A flex-fuel version, showcased at the 2025 Bharat Mobility Expo, can run on 100% ethanol, promising eco-friendly performance. The petrol variants offer 18.8 to 20.9 kmpl, making the Punch a versatile choice.

The CNG variants range from ₹7.30 lakh to ₹10.17 lakh, with a low down payment of ₹1.25 lakh and EMIs starting at ₹15,500 for a 5-year loan. Its value-for-money appeal has driven massive sales, with 458,000 units sold by September 2024. The Punch holds a 38% share of the sub-compact SUV market and contributes 36% to Tata’s passenger vehicle sales. However, sales dipped by 20% in June 2025 to 10,446 units, hinting at a need for the upcoming facelift to keep the momentum going.
