Things to Consider Before Buying
- Space & Comfort: Punch is compact; Nexon offers more cabin space if you need family comfort.
- Fuel Choice: Punch is the first SUV in India to offer CNG with AMT, ideal for city driving and economy.
- Budget: Punch is more affordable than Nexon and Fronx, but lacks diesel and premium features.
- Performance: Turbo-petrol makes Punch more fun to drive compared to its earlier NA-only version.
✅ Recommendation
If you want a budget-friendly SUV with modern features, strong safety, and flexible fuel options (including CNG), the new Tata Punch facelift is a great choice. If you need more space, premium interiors, or diesel power, the Tata Nexon is worth the extra spend. For a sportier hatch-SUV crossover, the Maruti Fronx is a solid alternative.
