Tata Punch is one of the highest-selling cars in the Indian market for the past few months even outselling the likes of Maruti Swift, Dzire, and WagonR which have been the perennial mass sellers in the passenger vehicle industry. The Punch also became the first ever SUV in India to become the highest-seller for three consecutive months.
One of the reasons why Punch is one of the best-selling models in the country is the number of options available to the customers. Tata Motors offers the Punch in four broad trims namely Pure, Adventure, Accomplished Plus, and Creative Plus. In addition, there is the Camo edition available in selected trims.
