Why are car manufacturing companies so keen on introducing more SUVs? The simple answer is, that Indians love SUVs in any form. If the sales figures of recent years have taught us anything, it is that Indians adore SUVs and will almost certainly find space in their garage for one. Tata is banking on this SUV trend and has launched the Tata Punch SUV. Let’s find out why Tata Punch along with the Tata insurance is a compelling package.

Over the past few years, Tata Motors has done exceedingly well to bring some stylish looking cars that have a host of features as well. And it has done all of that, without compromising the safety of the passengers. Most of its recent cars have fared exceedingly well in the crash tests. Thus, any new offering from the home-grown manufacturer has a lot of keen and eager eyes.

Tata Punch is its latest offering and falls under the category of micro SUV. The micro SUV will be a challenger from Tata against the likes of M&M’s KUV100 and Maruti Ignis. And it will also rival the Citroen C3, once it is launched.
