Since the images and videos about the Tata Punch have surfaced on the web, there has been only one question that has everyone baffled-Is it a proper SUV? One look at the Punch and you’d be able to point out the obvious changes right away. The front-end is butch and angular, and the stance is that of a proper SUV. Look closer, and you will also spot the low-placed headlamp with the DRL on top which seems to be the Tata theme now. The bonnet is high up and that is what primarily helps with the boxy SUV look. Over to the side, you get 16-inch alloys on the top trim that give it a proportionate look and a high 187mm ground clearance. What is nice though, is that there is plenty of cladding to give it that rugged look expected of an SUV. Dimensionally, the Punch is wider and taller than the Maruti Swift, and it is an SUV that reveals its size better in the flesh. The raked A-pillar further adds to the stance, and the rear, again, is quite similar to the front wherein there isn’t a lot happening, but its is modern and contemporary. The taillamps sure stand out with intricate details and you also get a glimpse of an extensive features list thanks to a rear wiper/ washer.

IMPRACTICAL YET IRRESISTIBLE
Exactly ten years ago, I took my first international trip. It was to Bahrain, a country of endless desert and skyscrapers, where my aunt and uncle lived. Among their friends and neighbours, one particular gentleman, upon learning I was a budding petrolhead, took an entire day off work to take me around the city’s showrooms to see some “normal” Middle East traffic.
