Exterior Design Highlights
The Tata Punch boasts a muscular and robust exterior. Upfront, it features LED Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) and automatic projector headlamps, complemented by front fog lamps. The blacked-out grille proudly displays the Tata logo, and Tri-arrow design elements are visible throughout the vehicle. The micro SUV offers an impressive 187mm ground clearance.
From the side, the Punch showcases black-finished outside rearview mirrors (ORVMs) that are electrically adjustable and foldable. It rides on dual-tone 16-inch alloy wheels and features body cladding along the sides and on the rear bumper for a rugged look. Top models also come with a dual-tone roof and roof rails. A unique feature is the 90-degree door opening, allowing for very easy entry and exit.
The rear design is equally attractive, featuring LED tail lamps with a Tri-arrow design. A reverse parking camera and two ultra-sonic reverse parking sensors are integrated into the rear bumper. Other rear features include a rear wiper, defogger, and a high-mount stop lamp. A request sensor is located on the driver’s side door.
