Under the hood

The Tata Punch offers two engine options to suit different preferences. For those who love petrol engines, there's a 1.2-litre petrol engine that produces 87.8 PS of power and 115 Nm of torque. You can choose between a 5-speed manual transmission or a 5-speed AMT. If you're more inclined towards CNG, the 1.2-litre Revotron engine in CNG mode delivers 73.5 PS of power and 103 Nm of torque. However, when you switch to petrol mode, it matches the power output of the regular petrol engine. The CNG engine comes with a 5-speed manual gearbox only.
