Tata might not be a regular fixture locally anymore but the automaker unveiled its upcoming offering - an SUV known as the Punch.
The automaker gave little away in the form of trim level, pricing and standard features - though it is the first SUV built on ALFA-ARC (Agile Light Flexible Advanced Architecture).
According to CarDekho, it will likely be powered by a 1.2-litre engine coupled to a manual transmission.
It remains highly unlikely that the Punch will be sold in South Africa, seeing as though Tata passenger models aren't sold brand-new anymore although its commercial operations are still ongoing.
If Tata had to sell its SUV offerings here in South Africa again, would you be interested in purchasing any of them? Please email us here, or use the comments section below.

Shailesh Chandra president of passenger vehicle business unit of Tata Motors, says: "The Tata Punch, as the name suggest is an energetic vehicle with a capability to go anywhere. Light on its feet and strong in its caliber, this is a vehicle which truly punches above its weight. With the perfect combination of stunning design, technology and driving dynamics, the Punch will come equipped with superlative features and an architecture that has proven its versatility in all forms."
As a sidenote, Chinese automaker, Chery, is now officially back in South Africa, with sales of its brand-new product range set to start in November this year.
