Tata PunchvsTata Tiago
The Tata Punch is the stronger overall package, bringing a 5-star Bharat NCAP crash rating, more power, bigger tyres and boot, LED headlights and keyless entry for a premium of about ₹1 lakh over the Tiago. The Tiago remains a solid value pick with its LED taillights and lower entry price, but it lacks TPMS, hill hold, and gives up ground on safety rating and cabin features compared to the Punch.
