We break down the pros, cons, and reasons to buy (or skip) the Adventure variant of the Tata Punch

Tata offers the Punch with an AMT option from the one-above-base Adventure variant onwards. It is nearly a lakh pricier than the base-spec Punch but are the added features worth stretching your budget? Or maybe if the Punch Adventure falls squarely within your budget, should you settle for it or push for the next variant? Let’s find out:

Variant	Petrol-MT	Petrol-AMT
Adventure	Rs 6.39 lakh	Rs 6.99 lakh
Stretch to Accomplished	Rs 7.29 lakh	Rs 7.89 lakh
Difference	Rs 90,000	Rs 90,000

Why should you consider the Adventure variant?

The Adventure variant of the Tata Punch is only worth considering as the entry-level AMT option on a VERY tight budget. It gets an audio system with steering-mounted controls, electrically adjustable outside rearview mirrors and power windows all around.

Tata Punch Adventure Interior

	Exterior	Interior	Comfort and convenience	Infotainment	Safety
Highlight features	Body coloured ORVMs and door handles Full wheel covers	Anti-glare IRVM	Steering mounted audio controls Electrically adjustable ORVMs Power windows all around	Audio system with 4 speakers	Follow-me-home headlamps
Other features	Halogen headlamps Cladding on doors, wheel arches and sills LED turn indicators	Fabric upholstery Dual-tone dashboard	Remote central locking	4-inch LCD in instrument cluster	Dual airbags ABS with EBD ISOFIX

Why skip the Adventure variant?

This variant does not offer enough value over the base-spec Pure manual variant for the price jump, especially if you opted for the Rhythm pack with the latter. It’s a difference of over Rs 50,000 for remote locking, power windows and electrically adjustable ORVMs. You can get better value by stretching your budget to the next variant or going for the base variant and spending the extra cash on accessorising it with even better features.

Should you consider the Rhythm Pack?


Adventure	Rs 6.39 lakh	Rs 6.99 lakh
Adventure + Rhythm Pack	Rs 6.74 lakh	Rs 7.34 lakh
Difference	Rs 35,000	Rs 35,000

Features added: 7-inch touchscreen infotainment with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, two additional tweeters, and reverse parking camera.

The Rhythm pack for the Punch Adventure variant is one that can be skipped. If you’re stretching your budget to get the entry-level AMT option, you can do without these features or have them fitted as accessories at a later date. We’d recommend you extend your budget till the Accomplished AMT variant and get more value for the price.

Variant	Verdict
Pure	Covers the basics, worth considering if it’s the best your budget can allow. Get it with the Rhythm pack if you can.
Adventure	Only consider if you need the AMT option for the Punch on a tight budget
Accomplished	Offers the best value-for-money feature set
Creative	Only if you want all the top features of the Punch, and your budget allows for it
