Tata Punch Adventure Variant: Price, Features, Engine Options, and Real World Value
The Tata Punch has built a solid reputation in the entry level SUV space. It feels tough, looks different, and does not behave like a fragile city hatchback. The Adventure variant sits right in the middle of the range. It targets buyers who want useful features but do not want to stretch their budget for the top model.
This variant starts at ₹7.59 lakh and goes up to ₹8.29 lakh ex showroom. If you want the turbo petrol engine, this is the starting variant for that option.
Let us go step by step and see what this version actually offers in real life.
Tata Punch Adventure Variant Price
Starting price: ₹7.59 lakh ex showroom
Top price in this variant: ₹8.29 lakh ex showroom
Turbo petrol availability: Starts from this variant
So if you want more power without going for the top trim, this is where the turbo journey begins.
Engine and Powertrain Options
The Adventure variant offers all available engine options of the Punch. That makes it quite flexible for different buyers.
Engine choices
1.2 litre three cylinder naturally aspirated petrol
Power: 88 PS
Torque: 115 Nm
Gearbox: Manual or AMT
1.2 litre petrol CNG
Gearbox: Manual or AMT
1.2 litre turbo petrol
Power: 120 PS
Torque: 170 Nm
Gearbox: Manual only
This means you get petrol, CNG, and turbo options in one trim level. That is a practical advantage for buyers who want performance or lower running costs.
Front Design and Lighting
At the front, you get the usual Tata design language with the bold grille and the Tata emblem.
Key front elements:
Gloss black styling elements
Halogen DRLs
Halogen turn indicators
Full LED headlamps
Front camera as part of the 360 degree camera system
Lower body cladding for a rugged look
One thing that feels slightly outdated is the halogen DRLs. LED DRLs would have suited this variant better.
Side Profile and Wheels
From the side, the Punch still looks like a mini SUV. The upright stance and body cladding help it stand out.
Key highlights:
Hyper style wheel covers over steel wheels
Tyre size: 185 by 70 R15
15 inch wheels
Black body cladding
Auto folding ORVMs with electric adjustment
Integrated turn indicators and side camera
Shark fin antenna
These are not alloy wheels, but the covers are styled well enough to pass at a glance.
Another strong point is the suspension. It feels tough and more robust than most cars in this segment, especially on broken roads.
Rear Design and Boot Space
At the rear, the design remains simple but functional.
What you get:
High mount stop lamp
Rear wiper, washer, and defogger
Small roof spoiler
Rear camera
Rear parking sensors
Connected tail lamps are not available in this variant.
Boot space
Decent usable space
Slight loading lip, but not a major issue
Single piece rear seat, no 60:40 split
Full size spare wheel with the same profile
The absence of a split rear seat is something many buyers may notice.
Front Cabin and Features

Key cabin features
Push button start stop

The dashboard uses hard plastics, but the fit and finish feel solid.
Steering and Instrumentation
Flat bottom steering with illuminated logo

This is one of the strongest highlights of the variant.

Dual cup holders
The centre armrest slides and has a fabric finish.

Wide seat, suitable for two adults and a child
Good under thigh support
Decent headroom
Flat floor in the centre

Missing elements:

So the option is there if you really want that feature.

The safety kit is strong for the segment.
Six airbags
ABS with EBD
ESP
TPMS
Rear parking sensors
360 degree camera
In terms of safety, there are no major compromises.
Should You Buy the Adventure Variant

Need the turbo petrol option without stretching the budget
Prefer a tough, high ground clearance car
Drive on rough or broken roads often
You get:
360 degree camera
Digital instrument cluster
Cruise control
Automatic climate control
Push button start
Strong safety package
