Inside, the cabin is expected to be unchanged compared to the standard Punch. The list of features is likely to be carried over without any significant additions.As for the engine, this trim will use Tata’s 1.2-litre iTurbo petrol engine, which produces 120PS of power and 170Nm of torque, mated to a 6-speed manual transmission.The standard Tata Punch facelift is already on sale in India at prices ranging from Rs 5.65 lakh to Rs 10.60 lakh, ex-showroom. However, the Punch HBX has so far only been presented as an accessorized concept.
