Punch in Chennai: questions buyers ask

Why does a Chennai Punch quote include a ₹2,250 road safety charge?

Tamil Nadu collects a flat road safety cess of ₹2,250 on every new car, separate from the road tax itself. It applies to the Punch whatever the variant, so it is not something the dealer adds or can waive.

Will the Punch cope with Chennai's northeast monsoon?

Its 193 mm of ground clearance is more than most hatchbacks offer, which helps through waterlogged streets in October and November. Avoid deep water all the same, because a flooded engine is rarely covered without an engine protection add-on.

Does Tamil Nadu charge extra for buying the Punch on a loan?

Yes. Recording the lender's hypothecation on the registration certificate costs ₹800 in Tamil Nadu, and you pay again to cancel it after the loan ends. Our figures assume you pay cash, so add it if you finance the Punch.

Which Punch is best for long drives to Pondicherry or Mahabalipuram?

The Punch Accomplished Plus S Turbo Petrol MT. Its turbo gives 118 bhp for easy overtakes on the ECR, and it has cruise control, the larger screen and a wireless charger. The 1.2 litre is fine but works harder at highway speeds.

Is the Punch Smart Petrol MT good enough as a first car?

For safety, yes, since it keeps six airbags and stability control. It skips the touchscreen, camera and alloys, though. The Punch Pure Plus Petrol MT adds the screen, a reverse camera and cruise control for ₹1.65 lakh more on-road.
