This SUV from Tata comes with a ‘Punch’
The Hindu
The Tata Punch packs in adequate space and practicality, with a sedate driving style
Tata’s Punch has been described as a product with ‘the agility of a hatchback and the DNA of an SUV’. The new ‘sub-compact SUV’ plugs the size and segment gap between the Tiago NRG cross-hatchback and Nexon compact SUV.

The gloss black grille is an enclosed panel with a tri-arrow-shaped opening for the horn behind.
