Tata Punch with Automatic Transmission (AMT) – The “Accomplished AT” Variant
Overview & Key Achievements
-
“Accomplished AT” refers to the Tata Punch variant equipped with a 5-speed Automated Manual Transmission (AMT), offering a convenient automatic-driving experience.
-
Powered by the tried-and-tested 1.2-litre Revotron petrol engine, it delivers around 86–87 hp and 113 Nm torque—a balance between efficiency and performance for urban driving.
-
Tata’s AMT brings in a special feature called Traction Pro Mode, which helps manage wheel slip by intelligently braking the disengaged wheel—boosting confidence in low-traction situations.
-
In terms of fuel efficiency, the automatic variant scores impressively around 18.8–19 km/l, compared to about 20 km/l for the manual.
Pros:
-
Ride Quality & Handling
Tata’s signature suspension setup ensures a remarkably stable and comfortable ride, capable of absorbing rough road textures akin to a heavier vehicle. -
Driving Convenience
The AMT simplifies driving in traffic. Particularly in Eco mode, gear shifts and fuel usage are optimized, with city mileage reported at about 10.7 kpl and highway at 16.9 kpl—slightly better than manual. -
Safety Credentials
The Punch earned a 5-star Global NCAP adult occupant rating, thanks to its robust structure and safety features like dual airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, and ISOFIX mounts
Final Take
The Tata Punch Accomplished AT delivers an attractive combination of safety, comfort, and convenience—especially for city dwellers who prioritize a secure ride and feature-rich cabin. Its AMT setup, while generally reliable, exhibits some hesitation and jerkiness in dense traffic conditions. That said, its safety pedigree, ride quality, and fuel economy make it a compelling choice for those willing to adapt driving style (e.g., gentle throttle use or City mode).
