In the first half of this calendar year, Tata Punch became the most sold passenger vehicle in the country by recording a domestic tally of 1,10,308 units as against 67,117 units during the same period last year with a massive YoY positive volume increase of 64 per cent as it cleared the second-placed Maruti Suzuki WagonR by well over 10,000 units.
The Maruti Suzuki Baleno finished in the third position while the Punch’s compact SUV sibling, the Nexon, came in as the tenth most sold car in H1 2024. Tata Motors introduced the Punch in October 2021 and it has been well received by customers all along. It has set a new record by becoming the fastest SUV to get past 4 lakh sales, achieving this milestone in just 34 months.
The Tata Punch’s success is attributed to its tall stance, high ground clearance, commanding driving position, extensive features and competitive pricing. It was also among the first front-wheel-drive SUVs to tackle the challenging terrain of Sandakphu. Before its release, the Punch received a prestigious GNCAP 5-star safety rating, achieving the highest score for adult occupant protection available at the time.
