G Turbo Petrol Mild Hybrid MT₹10.45L ex-showroom Delhi₹0.22L of the budget left over
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.22L more for the Punch Accomplished Plus S: 360° camera and single-pane sunroof. The useful extras on top: touchscreen (10.25" against 7") and driver display (7" digital against Semi-digital). The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- The Urban Cruiser Taisor G is the strongest of the two at 100 PS
- Also on the Punch Accomplished Plus S: cruise control, auto-folding wing mirrors, air purifier and leatherette upholstery, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Punch Accomplished Plus S, you give up speakers (6 against 4), auto headlamps and 60:40 split rear seat, which the Urban Cruiser Taisor G keeps
- Choose the Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor G if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.22L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Tata Punch Accomplished Plus S if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
