Tata Motors sold over 1 000 new cars in Mzansi for the first time in October 2026, crossing a milestone only few others have crossed before. With the new Tata Punch now in Mzansi, that milestone seems attainable again.
Punch is positioned as Tata's entry-level SUV, with only manual gearboxes available for the three models. However, a 1.2-litre turbo engine (88kW) for the range-topper gives real oomph in segment performance.
Prices are:
R224 900 (Pure+)
R244 900 (Adventure)
R269 900 (Accomplished+S)

Tata has updated the Punch, while also giving it extra, uhm, punch to the tune of 88kW and 170Nm. That's 1.2-litre turbocharged punch, at under R270 000. Not exactly a hot hatch, but definitely a sharp crossover with a chilli tip. And oh, it's a 6-speed manual. Sounds like fun.
