We reached out to the company to get a confirmation on the bookings, however, at the time of publishing this story, our email remained unanswered.

The Tata Punch will be the first SUV to be built on the ALFA platform

The soon-to-be-launched Tata Punch will be the first SUV to be built on the ALFA-ARC (Agile Light Flexible Advanced Architecture) developed under Impact 2.0 design language. When launched, the micro SUV will be positioned below the Nexon subcompact SUV in the line-up. Last month, the Indian carmaker dropped the first official image of the production model and christened it the Punch.

Visually, the Tata Punch sports an aggressive front-end design with a signature split lighting setup. It gets sleek-looking LED DRLs positioned above headlamp cluster, tri-arrow grille design, circular fog lamps, squared-off wheel arches, 16-inch diamond-cut alloys, wraparound LED taillights, high-set rear bumper, roof-mounted stop lamp, neatly sculpted tailgate with company branding and more.

The cabin of the Punch comes with a minimalistic dashboard featuring dual-tone black and white paint scheme. It also gets horizontal air-con vents with body-coloured bezels. The Harman-sourced touchscreen infotainment system will also come equipped on the Punch that looks similar to the one seen on the Altroz and the Nexon.
