Tata Punch CNG: Fuel efficiency numbers

Powering the Tata Punch CNG is the 1.2-litre three-cylinder engine that is also found in the petrol variant. This engine produces a maximum power output of 77hp and 97Nm of torque in a CNG setup and is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. In a petrol configuration, this engine puts out 86hp and 113Nm.

The SUV gets features like a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, automatic climate control, engine start/stop button, and more. The SUV went into production last month. Tata Motors is expected to commence the deliveries for the Punch CNG in the coming weeks.
