Tata Punch MT Fuel Efficiency: Claimed vs Real

Tata claims a mileage of 18.97kmpl for the Punch MT, and we tested it to see if it holds true in the real world

In October 2021, Tata launched the Punch micro SUV. Priced from Rs 5.48 lakh to Rs 9.08 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), the micro SUV gets only a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated engine.

While we have already conducted our fuel efficiency test of the Punch AMT, we wanted to see how economical its manual transmission is in real-world conditions.

Here are the numbers that matter:

Engine

1.2-litre Petrol

Power

86PS

Torque

113Nm

Transmission

5-speed MT

Claimed fuel efficiency

18.97 kmpl

Tested fuel efficiency (City)

13.86kmpl

Tested fuel efficiency (Highway)

17.08kmpl

Tata’s micro SUV couldn’t match its claimed fuel efficiency in the city or on the highway, for that matter, falling short by 5kmpl and 2kmpl, respectively.

Here’s the mileage you can expect from the Punch MT based on varied driving scenarios:

Mileage

City:Highway (50:50)

City:Highway (25:75)

City:Highway (75:25)

15.3kmpl

16.14kmpl

14.54kmpl

The Punch MT is most economical on the highway, and you can expect it to return a little over 16kmpl, provided highway runs constitute 75 percent of your total commute. On the other hand, if your commute is split equally between city and highway, fuel efficiency will likely dip by about 1kmpl. And if you’re mostly driving around within city limits, you should get on average 14-15km to a litre.

Please remember that these figures are only indicative and bound to change depending on the road and car conditions. If you own a Punch MT, do share your findings with us in the comments.

My Tata Punch, Manual transmission is stuck at a fuel efficiency of 13.9 kmpl, inspite of the first servicing. I'm talking about city ride of course. But still, 13.9 is unacceptable
