The bumper is muscular and holds the fog lamps.
It gets thik plastic cladding at side too. In the higher varients 16" alloy wheels are on offer. The alloy wheel design may be inspired from Hyundai Verna.

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.
The powertrain and transmission option hasn't unveiled, however we expect a 1.2 liter naturally aspirated petrol engine which will good to crunch out a maximum power of 83bhp and 113nm torque. 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.
