Tata Motors took the third position in the Indian market with July 2024 sales figures. The company is banking on the Nexon and Punch for quite some time now for a major part of its sales. The indigenous brand has also announced another achievement for the Punch SUV. The micro-SUV is the fastest at bagging the 4 lakh sales milestone in India. It only took 34 months to garner this figure, since its launch in October 2021.
Needless to say, the Tata Punch enjoys a warm response from the Indian audience. It is liked for its design, cushy ride quality, and soft-roading capabilities. In fact, it is the only front-wheel-drive micro-SUV to conquer Sandakphu's steep inclines. The Punch boasts a full 5-star GNCAP crash test rating. Also, the electrified version of the Punch has received a 5-star crash rating at Bharat NCAP's facility.
