Tata Punch vs Maruti Brezza
The Tata Punch and Maruti Brezza are both high-sitting, five seat SUVs, but they sit one size apart. The Punch is a smaller, cheaper micro SUV that is easy to park and light on running cost, and it now offers a strong 1.2 litre turbo petrol too. The Brezza is a bigger compact SUV with more cabin room, more road presence and a longer features list, for a higher price.

Key Differences
The clearest gap is size and price. The Brezza is longer, wider and taller, and rides on a 2500 mm wheelbase against the Punch's 2445 mm, so it has more cabin room and more presence on the road. It also starts higher, at about 7.50 lakh against the Punch's 5.75 lakh ex-showroom. On power, the chart above compares the entry cars, where the Brezza already starts with a turbo and the Punch with a simpler 87 bhp petrol.
Step up through the Punch range, though, and its own 1.2 litre turbo leads the pair at 118 bhp, a touch ahead of the Brezza's 1.0 litre turbo at 109 bhp. So the Brezza is stronger at the bottom of the range, while a turbo Punch is the quicker car overall.
One surprise runs the Punch's way on practicality. Its boot is the bigger of the two at 366 litres, against 328 litres in the Brezza, though the Brezza holds more fuel with a 48 litre tank against 37 litres. Both cars offer a factory CNG option with similar mileage, so day to day fuel costs end up close.
Which is Better
Pick the Tata Punch if you mostly drive in the city, park in tight spots, or want the lowest price and the lowest running cost. It is the easier and cheaper car to live with, its boot is the bigger one, and if you want some fun there is now a 118 bhp turbo version.
Pick the Maruti Brezza if you want more room for a growing family, a bigger fuel tank, and a longer features list that adds things like a sunroof on higher trims. You pay more for the Brezza, but you get a bigger, more grown-up SUV. In short, the Punch is about value, ease and a surprising turbo, while the Brezza is about space and features.
