The favorite feature of Indian buyers is the electric sunroof, which is available on the Hyundai Exter. However, Punch misses out on this feature. Although the Tata Punch with sunroof was showcased at the Auto Expo 2023, its arrival is still a question that Tata Motors is keeping unanswered.
Dash Cam With Dual Camera
Yes, the Hyundai Exter comes with a dash cam installed from the factory. Also, it gets a dual-camera setup with a smaller screen. Dashcam recording footage of both the road ahead and the cabin.
steering-mounted paddle shifters
An AMT transmission is available with the Exeter, which further comes with steering-mounted paddle shifters if the driver wants to take the controls for himself. The Punch also gets an AMT unit, but there are no paddle shifters on offer.
tire pressure monitoring system
Another feature that is absent on the Tata Punche but available on the Hyundai Xtor is the Highline tire pressure monitoring system. This feature is becoming quite common in modern cars.
6 airbags
Along with the sunroof, the Tata Punch was also showcased at the 2023 Auto Expo with 6 airbags. While this feature is still absent in the indigenous SUV, it has been given in the Hyundai Xtor to enhance the safety of the occupants.
