The system is also likely to offer connected car technology from Tata that enables users to connect their smartphones to the car’s system to get information about the vehicle’s performance, location data, and other features.

The Punch is expected to be available with the following powertrain options:

- 5-speed AMT (Automatic Manual Transmission) option
Apart from the petrol variants, Tata is also expected to introduce a twin-cylinder CNG version of the Punch at the factory level, which will cater to the growing demand for cost-effective and fuel-efficient vehicles.
While the core engine specifications are likely to remain unchanged, improvements in engine calibration and refinement are anticipated to enhance overall performance.
