Tata Motors has showcased the Tata Punch HBX, a special edition variant based on the Punch facelift. The exterior of the HBX features modified bumpers with skid plates, dual-tone 16-inch alloy wheels, a blacked-out roof and side mirrors, a rear spoiler, side and lower body cladding, and extended wheel arches. It retains the standard LED headlights and daytime running lights found on the regular Punch model. The interior layout is expected to remain similar to the standard version, though it may incorporate an all-black upholstery scheme. We will come to know that soon.
Mechanically, the vehicle is anticipated to be equipped with a 1.2-litre iTurbo petrol engine generating 120 PS of power and 170 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. The feature list includes six airbags, a 360-degree camera, a blind-view monitor, hill descent control, an auto-dimming interior rearview mirror, a tire pressure monitoring system (iTPMS), automatic headlights, rain-sensing wipers, and front fog lamps with a cornering function.
The Tata Punch HBX may be released as a standalone limited edition model or offered as a factory-installed accessory package. It is expected to be priced at a premium over the standard Punch range, which currently starts at Rs 5.65 lakh for the naturally aspirated variants and Rs 8.29 lakh for the turbo-petrol variants (ex-showroom).
