Upcoming Tata Punch spotted in new brown shade ahead of launch

This specific Tata Punch seems to be a top-spec model considering it gets LED daytime time running lamps (DRLs) and dual-tone alloy wheels.

Tata Motors is all set to introduce its smallest SUV, the Tata Punch, in India, and ahead of its festive launch, a production-ready test mule of the mini-SUV was spotted in a new brown, single tone shade, most likely on its way to a dealership. This specific Tata Punch seems to be a top-spec model considering it gets LED daytime time running lamps (DRLs) and dual-tone alloy wheels. The new Punch will sit below the Tata Nexon, and joins the Tata Harrier and Tata Safari in the company’s ever-growing SUV portfolio. We expect the upcoming Tata Punch to be priced in the Rs 5 lakh- Rs 10 lakh (ex-showroom, India) price bracket.

The new Tata Punch is the company’s first SUV built on the global ALFA-ARC platform (Agile Light Flexible Advanced Architecture), developed under the Impact 2.0 design language, which also underpins the Tata Altroz hatchback. In terms of looks, the Tata Punch could be identified as a baby Harrier with split headlamps, and a tri-arrow grille up front. The rear seems to be slightly different with a new design given to the tail lamps, which are smaller and rounder than the other SUVs in the portfolio. Apart from this, the Tata Punch will come with chunkier 16-inch alloy wheels, black cladding on the side, squared wheel arches and a higher window line to add to its ‘SUV’ credentials. Reports also suggest that the new Tata Punch will supersede the Nexon in terms of height and width and command an on-road presence to that of a full-sized SUV.
