Tata Punch CNG: In the fast-emerging spectrum of environment-friendly mobility, where buyers are refusing to settle with anything that’s just so and so, the Tata Punch CNG stands tall as a strong player.
This little SoB of an SUV has changed the way families think about CNG vehicles, modernizing a normally dirty technology and giving them an option that’s all but light years ahead of everything else in its weight class – on the trail or on the road.
The Green Revolution on Four Wheels
Auto industry is at a crossroads, sustainability is innovation’s new north star In this transition, the Tata Punch CNG comes as a beacon of green engineering excellence that doesn’t compromise on the ruggedness that Indian families crave for their daily chores and weekend drives.
CNG cars have developed considerable popularity in India due to increasing fuel prises, and with environmental friendly attitude. But several others felt that CNG cars did not perform as well and were less useful.
The Tata Punch CNG does so boldly, however, by offering an SUV experience that doesn’t leave you with the feeling of something missing in action.
High Performance with Low Environmental Impact
Punch CNG is powered by the incredibly versatile 1.2L Revotron engine to offer power on command and eco-friendly operation. this motor belts out 73.4 PS in CNG guise with 103 Nm of turning force, so family trips need not be bogged thanks to a string of hill stations on the map.
The brilliance of the Punch CNG lies in its cutting-edge iCNG technology that adjusts the air-fuel ratio in real-time for performance that leads you to forget you are behind the wheels of a CNG car.
The switchover from CNG to petrol mode, and vice versa, is managed by only one ECU to ensure the changeover is smooth and does not allow jerks or fluctuations as seen in earlier generation CNG vehicles.
Very handy as it is very hot to start immediately in cng and avoid the disconnecting sound from other cars which first start in petrol mode. This simple feature changes the driving game, taking the greener path least resistance.
Revolutionary Twin-Cylinder Design The Space You Need Without the Crammed Suit Suffers limitations of space on a cramped sportbike on a few long journeys?
The Tata Punch CNG comes with a revolutionary technology being the only one in the segment to have twin CNG cylinders that are smartly packaged below the luggage space.
This engineering masterstroke results in nowhere near the lost boot space of all previous CNG cars, which lump a gas cylinder somewhere in the boot to the detriment available load space.
For families, it will no longer have to be a choice between toting that extra suitcase on a weekend getaway or running on cleaner fuel. The Punch CNG is probably the first CNG car that offers both.”
Safety From The Ground Up
Based on Tata’s home-grown ALFA ARK, the Punch CNG also retains the robust safety capabilities that are a hallmark of Tata’s product repertoire.
This compact SUV wears its 5-star (Global NCAP) crash test rating on its sleeve and speaks to the strength of this vehicle and it’s exhaustive list of safety features.
The CNG system includes several safety mechanisms, ensuring peace of mind for family expeditions. The micro switch safety device cuts out the ignition every time you open the fuel lid and does not allow the vehicle to start before the lid is properly closed.
An instrument cluster warning “CLOSE FUEL LID” offers further peace of mind.
Thermal incident protection prevents the CNG supply to the engine in the event of thermal incident and safely vents out the gas through a dedicated nozzle. Moreover, the system switches to petrol mode when it detects gas leakage, guaranteeing safety for passengers.
The high-grade stainless-steel tubing and fittings are tested for various temperatures and pressures to mitigate the risk of gas-dust explosions, and there is a fire extinguisher under the co-driver seat for a quick protection when the need arises.
Comfort and Connection for The Modern Family
Punch CNG is no less when you step inside the cabin and you will experience same level of refinement and technology one could expect in a punchy sub-compact SUV.
Front and center is a generous touchscreen infotainment system, with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay capabilities, so families can stay connected on the go.
And the available electric sunroof opens things up even further, letting more natural light fill the interior and more fresh air into your cabin so every ride can be memorable.
Smart automatic headlamps turn on in low-light conditions without having to be switched on by the driver, making night-time driving more convenient and enhancing safety.
While rear AC vents and climate control and cruise control make longer family trips more comfortable rather than an endurance test.
The purpose-built for India iRA connected car technology platform ensures that the connectivity option is taken beyond the smartphone to the connected vehicle.
Economy Meets The Environmental One Sense – Another Common Sense Decision.
Punch CNG offers best-in-segment mileage of about 27 km/kg certified by test agency and low running cost that will result in substantial savings for the families.
Competitively priced with prices starting from ₹7.30 lakh (ex-shorwoom), the Urban Cruiser is clearly placed as an affordable SUV that sport features not commonly found in a car of its class.
Environmental positives for running the Punch CNG do not stop at reduced emissions. Simply change out the cartridges as needed instead of switching out the whole filter; less harmful waste is harbored in the landfill, and maintenance costs are reduced for the opportunity to benefit low-budget, environmentally friendly families.
Ideal for family Companion
Its small size makes it easy to navigate the clogged streets of the city while its SUV-like ground clearance and strong suspension setup means it won’t get stuck should families venture to broken roads or the occasional light off-road trail.
With the clever use of interior space, the A3 is remarkably roomy for four average-size adults, offering plenty of head room and leg room for even taller travelers.
Up top, the raised seating position makes the driver feel as if they can see and therefore expect to tackle all types of city and highway motoring.
The Punch CNG features a funky exterior that is available in an array of colours, and even dual-tone colour options to enable families to make a stylish choice reflecting their personality. Bold SUV style packed with eco-friendly power, including LED daytime running lamps and LED taillamps to stand out on the street.
A Game-Changer in Family Mobility
The Tata Punch CNG is a game-changer in the realm of environment-friendly family mobility in India.
Tata Motors has worked on the typical compromises associated with a CNG vehicle and combines it with the reassuring strength of an SUV to bring in one strong value proposition for the eco-friendly families, who don’t want to compromise on practicality and fun behind the wheels.
This big little SUV with green credentials shows responsible mobility doesn’t have to be asterisk-riddled. The Punch CNG is a no-excuse solution that makes an environmentally responsible alternative a practical choice for today’s Indian families.
The Tata Punch CNG represents performance, practicality, safety and environmental responsibility all rolled into one, for a package that doesn’t just live up to expectations, but redefines them inches above others, to create a new standard in what families can expect from compact, eco-friendly travel.
