Automatic climate control, wireless charger, semi digital instrument cluster like Altroz and Harrier, keyless entry and push button start stop, all four power windows, tilt steering wheel, all four adjustable headrests and many more.

With this engine we should expect a 5 speed manual and 5 speed automatic transmission. Tata may offer a turbo petrol engine too.

The all new Punch is based on Alfa architecture which also underpins their premium hatchback Altroz. So we should expect a good safety ratings from Punch like Altroz. Punch is going to hit showrooms in October 2021 and it will cost 5.50 lakh to 8.50 lakh ex showroom.
